...With so many successful Russian tennis players, one or two can usually be forgotten about. However, one of the better bets to put your money on this fortnight, is 22 year old Elena Vesnina.
A great all round player, Vesnina is currently ranked 17 in doubles, and is currently on the way up with a career high singles ranking of 37, so was just 5 players away from being seeded this year!
At most bookies you'll find her at odds of around 250-1, but this past year she has improved immensely, reaching the finals at Auckland in January, losing to top seed Elena Dementieva. Since then, she has won match after match, discreetly making her way up the WTA rankings, and there has to be a "breakout tournament" for her sometime soon. Is it going to be Wimbledon? At a price of 250-1 its definitely worth gambling on here.
