Miami 2014 Semis: PR vs. Li Na

[GameSetAndMath]

Li Na has a perfect 6-0 record against PR.

These two are meeting for the third time already in this year and that
too all in big tournaments AO, IW and M. In AO, after a tight first set (won
in a TB by Li Na), PR ate a bagel in the second set. In IW, it went to three sets.

Now, I say third time is the charm. Bring on the Li Na that needed
200 match points to close it out, this time PR wins.

Go PR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't impressed with Li's win over Caroline.
Knowing Domi she will keep plugging away with her game plan,like she did with her win against Aga.
I am really torn in this match as I like both players.
Li to win in 3 sets.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Don't forget that PR will have a bounce in her step due to being in top 10.

 

[HawkEye]

Li Na in 3. I think she has the mental edge.

 

[10isfan]

Li in three sets because of DC's serve

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

No one beats Lil' Domi 7 times in a row!
PR in straights.

 

[kskate2]

Li in 3.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sloppy service game Li and you deserved to be broken

Sloppy service game Li and you deserved to be broken

I am impressed, not by Domi's break, but by her consolidation. She is showing she
can hold it too.

 

[golds girl]

Domi's ball toss was so high it almost left the camera shot...swear it almost disappeared.:clap[/align]

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yep Domi is playing her normal game plan....good to see her consolidate her break

 

[GameSetAndMath]

so much for consolidation, it is back to square 1.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Li finally tighten up her fhand

Li will serve for the 1st set 5-3

 

[rubydo]

Domi hanging tough at 4-5.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Li is just soo inconsistant off the ground

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is exactly the kind of Li that PR can beat. A Li that can't serve it out.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Li your fhand? honestly

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nice fhand Domi

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Li with 3 SP

Not a good service game from Domi

Li wins the 1st set 75 a very up and down 1st set from both players.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]
