Anthony: Yes I realize I could bet on either. I am rooting for her though! Knowing my luck, now that I've bet on her, she will lose, lol.

I don't know... I think Li is playing a whole better class of tennis than Azarenka right now. It won't matter for rankings, as Na Li will only move up one spot regardless win or lose, she won't get enough points to change the top 5 women rankings from this. Azarenka just doesn't seem to be playing the same class that I've been watching Na Li play at... I would be shocked if Li lost this.

Li Na won the first set...

What's with the noise after each shot.... Screamer?!

Oh dear..Li just hurt her knee

So it is your fault;)

 

[piratelady]

My bad. :)

 

[Nicolette]

Its only a game......... sadly it is still disappointing.

Li only lost due to injury. She was smashing Azarenka, even with her choking each time she got a few games ahead in a set... her choking from pressure would allow Azarenka to catchup, then she would smash away from her again. She was making Azarenka look just as silly as she made Sharapova look in 6-2 6-2 straight sets.

She rolled and twister her left ankle early in the second set, and then again in the third. Her game changed significantly after that injury.

It is very disappointing. Mostly just because I'm competitive and hate losing, lol. If it were real money..:eek:

 

[Nicolette]

Woo hoo..... I picked the winner!!!!

 

[anthony]

I think that extra night of rest really helped Joka with that final. What a hard match. They went point for point in the first two sets... and even the last two, each game was a near fight to deuce each game.
