Title: Hingis v Clijsters
Description: Difficult one to pick?

Is this as difficult a match to pick as I think that it is?

I'm wondering how this will shape up..

Is it a case of Martina winning if she brings her all-court craft into the equation, and Kim winning if she dominates (as she has done all too easilyin her games so far) and doesn't give Martina the chance to do that??

My Swiss Miss has been sporatic at RG this year. Hopefully, she can pull it together to beat Kimmi.
But if Kim finds a way to take charge, I can see my girl going down in defeat. :(

I have a feeling that it's going to be another tough three-setter just like at the Australian Open, only this time I feel Martina will prevail.

I think Hingis could cause an upset and win the F.O. She has some bottle that one.

Martina will win on a clay court

I would like to see her win the F.O . She never has.

I dunnae know, gonna be a close one. I desperately want Hingis to do well here. If she starts taking the ball early in court and moving Clijsters around, I reckon she'll be okay but if she try's to hit it out with Clijsters then she may get overpowered.
I think Kims power is underestimated on both wings. As much as it pains me to say it!

Hmm.. well.. I guess the first set was key, and had Martina taken it, then she could have gained momentum..

Well played Kim.. although I'm not a massive fan of her game, I do think that she's one of the nicest girls on the circuit.

I had entertained some vague thoughts of another Martina v Venus matchup (yes, in the final!).. maybe that matchup could happen at SW19?? Hopefully Venus will get a good seeding, so that we don't get a 3rd round match that ought to be a semi final..
