They have split the two meetings this year. Petra won the last meeting in Beijing QF taking Li out of her home tournament in 3 close sets.

Both have the tendency to have a meltdown. But Li seems focused more than usual. It should be a good match

I will go with Petra in 3 sets

I disagree that Li is a head-case, though she can be inconsistent. In this case, I back her.

I like to think Li is on a mission, this is the best she has done in YEC ever and she knows this is by far her best shot here EVER!
But then there is that 6 foot lefty....

Oh Mox, she's definitely a head-case. I love her personality and she's actually one of my favorites to watch when she's not spraying it around.

Li is definitely a head case. She had a break in Cincy in both sets against Serena, and Serena was not playing great at all, and she still found a way to lose that match when she shouldn't have.

Congrats to Li....and her new ranking of no 3
Petra looked washed out and sick to me in this match.I had heard she has the flu.
Still all credit to Li...well done!!!!!!!!!
