BetUK offer 3/1 against sexy Elena Dementieva - you’d be demented not to take the free bet

For some bizarre reason, the two players on top form are quoted at 3/1 and 11/2 - and we're backing Olympic champion Elena Dementieva at 3/1 with BetUK - and you'll get a free £25 bet thrown in.

For years, Dementieva was the "nearly" woman. She couldn't even serve afternoon tea she was so bad - but all of a sudden, the Russian came into form at the right time and has started serving, well - like one of the Williams sisters. And it's Serena Williams, who for so long this season has stunk the house out (relatively speaking), who is the odds-on favourite at the semi-final stage.

Strange one - because Dementieva and Safina are the two who look like they are in prime form. Jelena Jankovic has been having an Ivanovic of a season - hot and cold but mostly cold - and I wouldn't be putting any money on her, even at 13/2.

The men's tournament is wide open, but you can expect a Nadal - Djokovic final and you wouldn't get very odds for it - what with Nadal at 1/5 to beat Andy Murray and Djokovic 4/6 to beat Roddick. You'll probably have more joy out of the odds of 5/1 that Djokovic would beat Roddick 3-2 in sets.

So - Bet UK - is it actually any good? Well, I've been playing around on it for the last couple of weeks and have decided that it actually is quite good. It's a lot like Centrebet, and offers the same huge range of markets that you tend to find on sites like Unibet and Gamebookers - right down to the good old Polish second division, if that's what you're interested in. There's a lot of live betting which shows that there's plenty of people working behind the scenes to make this a pretty good bookmaker that pays out quickly. The £25 free bet offer is a good 'un - as always, bet £25 and you get £25 to play with. Get a free £25 bet with BetUK here.
