Flavia Pennetta -170
Both Pennetta and Wickmayer are playing lights out this tournament. Wickmayer leads the head to head 1-0 in a very tight match indoors a few months ago. Pennetta lost the first set tiebreaker and had trouble getting her first serve in which did her in. Both girls haven't lost a set this week, and Pennetta is still struggling a bit getting her first serve in. She is serving and returning better than Wickmayer this tournament and has played much tougher competition, including a whipping of Schiavone, a match everyone though would be competative. I like the experience to prevail in this one, and Pennetta grab her first title of the year.
