the world seems to be on Li, as well as the AO crowd in Laver tonight.

Big tips in favor of Li @ T.I. Could work in your favor with their record of jinxes on short dogs. I have no opinion on the winner, think it's a toss up. If Li plays another ball busting match like Sharapova match, she deserves to win - but I think both will work hard to win.

[tevari]

I think Li is having an incredible run - I didn't expect her to make it past Ag-Rad. She's obviously rolling into the final with a tremendous amount of momentum and confidence ...but I've always known her to be an absolute flake in big spots. I think Azarenka plays the better match and takes the trophy. We'll see.

Great, the line is sinking fast now. She opened up at -145, down to -140, and now sitting at minus a quarter at the greek.

exactly my thoughts, i thought a-rad was gonna be in a final
will be interesting to see how li handles the pressure now that she's got a gs in her pockets and from what ive seen, azarenka's feeling the pressure as well so its gonna come down to who can hold their nerves better

however, i believe azarenka is more consistent of the two(though li seems to be a better shotmaker) and being a good mover, she wont make as many mistakes as sharapova did

[imzdeals]

line moves in tennis don't mean much. I'm all over aza -130.

The "old" Li NA your refering to Had her husband as her coach. That couldnt have been good for the relashionship. She probably had her mind elsewhere for most her matches. Now she has a new coach, im sure theres more of tennis then there is arguments. I see her being more consisant in the future.

[tevari]

The biggest reason why I'm backing Azarenka is this match is that her defense and in particular, her movement are CLASSES above Sharapova's. Li can hang hit the other big-hitters off the court with her own firepower, but against someone who can play great D and hit winners at any time....I think she'll struggle. BOL to whoever has a play on this match tonight.

[matt1216]

Bol to u as well man. Ill probably have a small play on LI NA, but tis should be a very close match

[ohumad]

Definitely see the logic behind backing Li after she spanked Sharapova (recent form), plus she's the crowd favourite which will have an effect on the already fragile psyche of Vika. Vika is still the better player and I will take her. I saw a poll on a tennis forum and 70% think Li will win. Seems like more are on Li here as well. Either way excited for how this will play out!

[Optional]

All it will take is a few hecklers in the crowd to harass Azarenka and I can see her repeating the last match melt down period again this time.

still sinking... That many people really on Li here?

I think a lot of people are betting with their hearts and/or dislike for Aza after the last match. Plus Li's win over Sharapova. Don't pay attention to line movement in tennis, especially for finals. Everyone becomes a tennis betting expert even if they've only watched 2 matches before this.

tevari - if I bet cash on finals, I'd be on Aza too. GL!!

[nikossf]

Ohh superwomen!! Always better when you explain...haha..

Yea,..these movements before the last few matches have been wild.. nothing to watch compared to a NCAAB game.. hahaha..

[nikossf]

and Tevari,..ur not the only 1 buddy.. Im right there with ya... Lets cash!!

[Sharp Snake]

Also on Vika. GL buddy.

[suicidekings]

$10 each on Li Na to win the Set 1 / Set 2 tiebreak. +1350 odds on each. Just a little fun on what should be a close match. Don't really care who wins.

[tevari]

Honestly lucky that I won this wager. Saved by a couple rolled ankles and fireworks. I thought Li played the better match. Oh well, win is a win.

[Hall2Collie]

Both played terribly to be honest.

[tevari]

^{oh, absolutely. But from an entertainment standpoint, it was pretty good to watch}

Indeed.

Hopefully Murray wins tomorrow (doubtful).
