Short post today.
Recap. Venus beat Radwanska in a very high quality match, Azarenka swept by a plan-less Wozniacki, Kvitova once again self-imploded against Suarez Navarro, and an incredibly impressive Safarova overturned her head-to-head against Petkovic and bashed by her in straight sets.
The semi-finals are two match-ups that are very one sided. Lets take a look.
Match to Watch
Safarova v. Suarez Navarro
These two players have not played since 2012, but Safarova leads their head-to-head 2-0. In fact, Suarez Navarro has never taken more than 4 games in a set off of her. With the way that Safarova has been playing [which is incredibly well!] I think this history will continue.
Prediction: Safarova defeats Suarez Navarro in straight sets.
Popcorn Match
Azarenka v. Venus Williams
This match-up is another one sided head-to-head with Venus owning the head-to-head 4-0 with Azarenka having never taken a set of Venus. That being said, this will be a match to watch with two opponents that are on fire. Venus is an incredible 15-2, while Azarenka is an impressive 6-2 on the year an both players have displayed incredible tennis this week. That being said, I think this is a difficult match-up for Azarenka and after coming back from match-point against Zahlavova Strycova earlier in the week I think Venus is ready.
Prediction: Venus defeats Azarenka in straight sets.
