Even though the line is a bit steep at -220, I feel very comfortable taking the Azarenka -1.5 sets line. I don't believe Kuznetsova possess enough weapons to take a set off Azarenka tonight.
Kuznetsova has scored several victories over Azarenka in her career, but those victories were from 2009 and before. That is a much different Azarenka than the one she'll be playing today. Azarenka's game is much more refined now with added power. Azarenka has pretty much dominated all her matches during this tourney except for the Hampton match. Even though Kuznetsova notched a win over Wozniacki her last match, it wasnt impressive at all. Wozniacki is not a true top ten player. Her game has deteriorated over the years and she'll be dropping in the rankings this year. Kuznetsova will have trouble with Azarenka's serve and I don't see Azarenka giving up any break point opportunities. I also see Azarenka pounding Kuznetsova's second serve like a pancake all match long.
Take Azarenka -1.5 sets , its a solid bet.
