Re: WWW Doha? [Dream OF]
I think Aga - Caro will be the only close match, comfortable top 3 wins in the other QFs.

Re: WWW Doha? [Dream OF]
I was going to make a thread about this. The WTA have a Premier 5 with 8 of the top 10 in the quarters, sound like it should be very competitive right? Yet here are the % chances those players are rated at winning :-
Azarenka 93.46%
Serena 90.09% (and this would probably be higher if she didn't give the appearance she was ill yesterday)
Sharapova 84.03%
Radwanska 68.03%
To put that in some kind of perspective (ignoring the last match), Errani is expected to win 4 games, Kvitova 5 games, Stosur 6 games. These on paper are meant to be some of the toughest tests to the top players.
Is that not an absolute damning statistic at how far the top players are perceived to be ahead.
For all the talk over the years of the ATP's "big four", even they were not this suggested this dominant over the other top 10 players. Effectively the top 3 especially are deemed even further ahead of the rest of the WTA field than the big four are of the ATP field.
