One of Tuesday's most interesting matches at the Challenger event in Limoges, France, at least from a betting point of view, is the clash between Petra Martic and Sara Saito. The Japanese player is early favorite, though I'm not sure I agree with that. The Croatian is far from a poor player at this level and could quite easily show why she's ranked higher than her opponent.
