Kerber won the last meeting, and is ranked 11 places above Victoria, but Victoria is a big favourite for this match IMO.

Congratulations to Kuznetsova and Azarenka. I saw the contest between Angie and Vika and it was a really nice match. Vika has nice touch at the net. I like the multicolored dress that Angie wore tonight.:pompoms:

Vika is red hot at the moment... actually when she's ON she's probably the second best player in the world IMO.

Sveta has played some amazing shots this tournament,she is a class athlete and I have always loved watching her play.Since winning IW Vika is just brimming with added confidence,I also feel she can win Miami,though my heart says Sveta:).

Congratulations to both players for making it to the final and especially to Vika for winning it. She was amazing, even with slight serving troubles.:yahoo:
