Ok, guys, biggest match of the women so far, who do we think will win and who do you want to win.
I, as per usual am going for Hingis, I hope she gets as many balls back as possible and starts niggling away at Kim, she don't have the power but she has the guile, althoug saying that, I do have a feeling Kim will win.
(which I guess may be good for her in her final Aussie Tournament to at least make a semi showing)

I think Kim secretly plans to make a comeback in 2010. :P

Of course, I want Hingis to win :wub: . I reckon she could win it. I don't know why everyone's basing the match on how they played on Monday, when Hingis was nowhere near her best, yet still managed to bagel a player like Na Li, who IMO is a top 15 player, and Clijsters wasn't at her best against Hantuchova either. It will be a very close game, like last years match-up, as the slower surface will make it an even game, as opposed to the US hardcourts, where I reckon Clijsters would win in straight sets. I think Hingis needs to come out on fire, like she did against Petrova at the YECs (yes Clijsters is better than Petrova, but they are similar players, big build, hard-hitters), and if she takes the first set, then I'd back her to win the game. She just needs to remain complacent throughout the match, don't do anything silly, because she is able to beat Clijsters, especially on her best surface. You make think I'm being biased, but I really think Hingis can win it. I'll say 6-3 2-6 6-4 to Hingis.

For me I think if it will go to three, and if it does, I would think Hingis could pull it off. the more she can get back and the longer it would last would get to Kim I feel.

I cant see it for Hingis( as much as i want to), Li was deciding every ebb and flow in that match, and that 6-0 set only is that comfortable for Martina due to the plethora of errors from Li- 69!!! :doh:

I just think Clijsters will hit through her far too easily. only chance is if Clijster's horrific technique on the forehand resurfaces. If not, its in Kim's hands............unfortunately :rolleyes: roflmao

Seems to be a popular theme! Hingis' wins are decided by her opponent! Wether they play good or bad!

:unsure:

Sorry Hingis Fans

I think Kim might win 7-6 7-5 something like that. If Martina plays well it should hopefully be close, but Kim's form has been sparkling this AO, at least as good as when she won the USO. Even Martina in her glory years would struggle to beat Kim atm.

Martina is most likely to win if she stops Kim from getting a rhythym and frustrates her; however she can't do this for the entire match so will have to pick it up at the critical points and most importantly start off well. She definitely needs the first set to have a chance.

I mean she could win in straights if she played the match of her life. Sadly I don't see it happening, which is why I say Kim in two competitve sets. Kim would really need to start spraying errors of her own accord as well as Martina's for her to win this.

I hope Martina beats Kim again someday...but I don't see it being this day :(

I really am torn about who I want to win this match.

Kim's not gonna take any crap from the linesmen/women :D roflmao
