^ I will post the times zones I found per the WTA Website for the final

3am ET 8am BST 3PM CST

I hope this information is helpful.
Helpful for sure, fashionista but I am in PST zone and it is on at midnight, just in case anyone else is in my time zone. Tennis Canada helped me there. Petra is far more powerful than Caroline, so if Eugenie learned anything from Wimbledon, she needs to be in overdrive to withstand Petra's power. Eugenie will be more relaxed, so I am grudgingly giving her one set, just for patriotic sake!

Oh sorry I did forget you live in Canada..:)

We forgot one thing. Hard court is not grass. Genie will move better on hard court. I feel she will win and there is that revenge thing also. I like Genie as a player but shame about her boyfriends and politics ;)

This court is a fast hard court and suits Petra's game to a tee.

For some reason she won her grand slams on grass and not on hard courts. just saying ;)
The weather was no problem for her in Miami, IW, Montreal, etc.
I may be wrong about Genie winning. No one really knows, its just my feeling.

I am fully aware of Petra's record.I am commenting on the surface here at Wuhan,which Petra has been playing very well.I sticking to my predication in regards to Petra.
Bouchard has played better here at Wuhan,since Wimbledon I agree.I am not convinced at this stage she can defeat Petra.

Does anyone have the weather forecast?
This is going to be played at 3 in the afternoon, the warmest part of the day, this is not the same conditions Genie played last.
The heat will make things even faster during the day.
I hope Genie goes in with a good strategy, trying to outgun the lefty will not be wise. She has to outsmart her.

It was better than last time Genie but still not good enough.
So far P2tra had all the answers and now I can go back to players that really interest me.:cool:

Petra keeps her 3rd place rankings for now, but starts the China open in 4th place with 200 points less than screamer.
She has 450 points to defend.
