Victoria Azarenka vs Na Li
My pick is Victoria Azarenka - 110 at pinnaclesports 11 units !
Over 10 units plays are 3-0 this season so lets make it 4-0 .
Preview by andre
The very talented Viktoria Azarenka reaches another WTA tournament final, this time in a Tier III. She has lost the two finals she has played until now (Estoril and Tashkent), in two matches where she was the big favorite to win. The pressure took control of her and she couldn't play something similar to her best tennis. But the situation is different in here. First of all, she knows she isn't the big favorite to win in here. I'm not saying she thinks Na Li is the big favorite to win in here, as her winning mentality will always make her think that she is favorite, but she knows this is going to be a tough match, unlike what she was predicting for her other two WTA tournament finals. There is also another factor that makes me think this is going to be different this one. Another season has passed and the young Azarenka is now more mature. Her coach is a very smart person and they will be capable of analyzing what went wrong in the other two finals to correct them, to make Azarenka win her first WTA title today. About her performances in here, they were just amazing. She has dropped one set this week and she has faced three tough opponents (Sugiyama, Cibulkova and Peer). Her 6:4 6:2 semi final win over the Top 20 player Shahar Peer shows how well she is playing right now and how much she has progressed in the off season. She plans to be into the Top 20 at the end of the season and I wouldn't be surprised if she reaches an even higher place in the rankings than that.
Na Li has made an amazing comeback after a six month injury lay-off, but she had to work way more than Azarenka to reach this final. The Chinese had a very tough semi final match against Patty Schnyder, that only ended when Na Li won the third set by 7:5. She has also defeated Nicole Vaidisova and Sybille Bammer during the week, which is quite impressive, but it must have taken lots of energy from her, especially when she wasn't playing for so long. She is quite error-prone, when she is tired and she isn't exactly a player that is capable of handle the pressure very well. The matchup is an interesting one, as both players are capable of hitting a good number of powerful winners, but Azarenka's nice defensive game will always obligate Na Li to hit another shot and as the Chinese player is pretty unstable, I can see Azarenka getting a good number of free points from Na Li's unforced errors.

yep red she probably doesnt have a coach either haha cuz she cant play tennis .
Lost real value on Azarenka while thinking whole day about this match I finally decided to bet on it but price dropped from 2.20 to 1.90 during the day !
People saying Na had problems with her legs in the previous match against Patty Schnyder so its probably the main reason for a such odds movement .

she's getting frustrated, tossing her racket around a lot. Her forehand is getting a little wild. She can be a hothead-- has to relax out there. Very poor serving set for her.
both players showing clear signs of fatigue, if it goes 3, get ready for a service break party
two players with similar styles...........do these girls have ANY intention of mixing it up and coming to the net?......nope:nohead:, its bombs away
