I like Aga - she's got a nice game, is smart and has a high tennis IQ but unfortunately she invariably gets outgunned at the business end of the big tournaments. Vika will have too much firepower for her.

Vika in straights.

Well, I know one thing Aga better put everything she has into trying to reverse her fortunes against Vika. She might not have a better shot at winning a slam with Maria and Serena already out.

Looks like Azarenka dropped a bomb in the first photo and is walking away blocking her nose. I hope Radwańska wins, but as has been pointed out, it's highly unlikely.

I will predict two close sets going to Vika. Aga really wants this and she doesn't fold under pressure. I think she has a great game but Vika has more power.

Also on a side note Aga looks sickly in that picture at the top. Has she lost weight? Im all for tightening up your eating and your fitness but losing weight isn't going to help a player who needs more power.

I think Vika is really great at taking advantage when opportunity presents itself. She knows she now has a very clear path to the final and she wont waste it.

Vika is too much for Aga. Vika will win it. Only details need to be worked out.

Aga is also sporting some kind of injury from the beginning of this year. Got beaten
by Bethany, of all the people, in Sydney. She is not even a normal Aga going in.

However, she felt very bad missing the opportunity of winning a grand slam in
last year's Wimbledon when she lost.

So, she will try hard, win a set and then lose.

Vika in three.

I would love to see an Aggie win, but I know it will be an uphill battle. She has to make the most of this draw with Maria and Serena out if she can vanquish Vika she has a good shot at this title.

Vika will be dropping another kind of bomb on poor Aggie. Hoping one of the 2 sets will be competitive.

Looks like Aggie is the sentimental favorite but she got no votes.

Ladies are coming onto the court.

Aggie did away with the blue dress from last round, she is wearing white version.

I like Vika's outfit better than Aggie's.

What makes her the sentimental favorite if she got no votes? :huh:
