Miami 2014 quarters: Li vs. Woz.

[Correspondent Kiu]

#2 seed against the #10 seed
Oh how the mighty have fallen!

H2H is 3-2 in favor of Li, last match won by Caro in 2012

VERSUS

Who wins?

 

[rugged]

I am a Li fan and not a Woz fan, but something tells me that Woz will get her.

 

[HawkEye]

Votig for Na in straights. I believe Na is generally better player. Caro may beat her though.

 

[rubydo]

Caroline will hit a roadblock here after some stunning results. They were up against far less formidable opponents than the Chinese master.

 

[Hoergren]

I'll have a go with Caroline in 3 sets - she's on a good stream right now and can regain a lot if she wins.

 

[Calvy]

It's all in Li hands, she is the superior player, and I expect her to win, maybe three.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Li to win in straight sets

 

[Rose]

I feel Li will win, but I would rather have Caro win.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Depends, I think if Caro wants to see her name back in the mix she has to start taking down the Li, Maria, Vika's of the tennis world. This would be a good place to start to show she isn't out for the count in the tennis world by taking down Li. Anything can happen, if Li Na's ugly sister Li No rears her ugly head on the tennis court, then Caro can certainly take this match.

 

[jhar26]

Out of loyalty to Caro I have voted for Caro in three. But I think it's more likely that Li will win in two.

Caroline has played well in her last two matches considering she's lost only one game in each. But these results don't tell us much about where Caro's game is REALLY at. Sloane played just about the worst match I've ever seen from a top 20 player and Lepschenko's legs must have felt as though she had just run a marathon after the amount of tennis she had to play to get this far. None of that is Caroline's problem of course, and she did very well, but I don't think that it's 2010 again on the basis of just these two matches.

 

[tented]

^ Well put, Jhar26. And it's great to see you around.

[Correspondent Kiu]

Count-down clock has begun. Everything is on schedule, Nole took care of Andy in straights and we have 45 minutes to go.

Get your vote in now before the poll close.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Caro has picked up steam out of nowhere and has started running a Bakery in the
last two matches.

Li Na is always up and down and took half an hour finish one match in IW. So,
beating Li Na is within Caro's reach.

However, I don't expect any Bakery business in this match. It will be a three
setter and each set will be closely fought.

Finally, people should not think a match is a good match just because it is
closely contested. This will be an ugly match that is closely contested.

The only question that remains to be answered is whether they will beat
the 19 breaks of serves "record" (I don't know whether it is officially a
record and so I am putting it in quotes) that Aga and PR established today.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay Li lets have a good service game to consolidate the break of serve.Not like your opening service game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Li dont get sucked into playing moon ball tennis please

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sloppy service game Li and deserved to get broken

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nice to see the bhand down the line Li...been awhile

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another sloppy service game Li and you have been struggling on serve so far in this match
