The favourite of this match is, in my opinion, Agnieszka Radwanska. In head-to-head, she leads with a score of 2:1. But the last game was won by Carla Suarez Navarro, it was in Miami last year. As I see it, there will be a serious fight here. Last round was quite difficult for Radwanska, Anna-Lena Friedsam fought until the end. Indeed, the Polish player showed her endurance and stamina. She came back from an uncomfortable score in the third set. She was lucky that the German just could not continue the last game because of cramps. As for Radwanska, everything was fine, physically she’s ready. Such a hard match, of course, will affect her.
Suarez Navarro’s hasn’t the speed shots, like that of Anna-Lena Friedsam. But she has other qualities that will help her win the balls. I think there will be a lot of long plays. And it won’t be easy for either one. I suppose that in the match, there will be a total over 20.5 games.
