Serena Williams is back playing tonight.

Which means you have another chance to bet on the Tennis Legend. This very well could be her last singles match, if she loses. Serena easily won her First Round Match with a straight-set victory over Danka Kovinic. And while Serena looked good in the 6-3, 6-3 victory and got the job done in a timely manner, the all-time great will need to be even better if she has a chance of pulling the upset over World No. 2 Annett Kontaveit.

Oddsmakers have listed Kontaveit as a -220 favorite over Serena  Williams. Serena is currently listed at +215 via Draftkings Sportsbook.   

1st Set / Moneyline

  • Serena Williams/Serena Williams +265
  • Serena Williams/Anett Kontaveit +700
  • Anett Kontaveit/Anett Kontaveit -220
  • Anett Kontaveit/Serena Williams +1000

Hard to imagine Serena being an underdog considering just how dominant she’s been throughout her career, but here we are.

Serena Williams is 2-3 overall since returning from her hiatus, and while she didn’t officially say this could be her last go around, the writing is on the wall that this could very well be it for the Tennis legend. Williams’ two wins were against players ranked outside the top-50, and in her losses against top flight players like Belinda Bencic and Emma Raducanu, she’s struggled to keep up and lost in straight sets.

Annett Kontaveit to win in straight sets is at +120, which might be a good play.

Serena is going to have her hands full.
