Karla and Garbine meet again for the second time this year in a final.
Garbine won Hobart.....can she repeat the performance in Brazil?

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Klara got rid of Carla!
You are confusing me!
But then there's another Spaniard to beat.


But kidding aside, unless your name is Serena Williams, it'll be tough to beat anyone twice in a row, especially an old Veteran like Klara.
But youth is on Garbine's side and I like her attacking Tennis. Klara has been playing for two weeks straight and that makes me wonder about her gas tank, especially after this last 3 setter against Carla.

Garbine for the title.
