Hopefully it won't be a shitfest but I wouldn't hold my breath. Sharapova should take it in 2.

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
I desperatly want Na to win this title at home, so hopefully she'll bring today's form. If she does i can't see her lose.

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
Almost impossible to predict the outcome of this match.. They both played very well in the QF, but they can both start sucking in the following match.. I predict a three-set-shitfest, but it may very well end up being a beatdown for either player!

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
the stadium is going to EXPLODE!!
Wish I could be there, both players played incredibly well in their last matches, both with positive winners/unforced errors ratio.
This should be good, either winners are fine with me, but I expect the number 2 in the world to win, if Li wins it will be great for WTA too, especially for tennis in China.

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
I guess holding capacity of the stands won't be enough for this match
Beijing as a tournament has already won for having such a SF
As for the match, Li is much more tricky than Radwanska , because on good day can impose her game. But still Masha is a favourite taking into account their roads to SF.

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
I can't Li and Sharapova always produce really exciting shitfests 
Sharapova in three, hard to go against her for her extremely impressive play today |

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
Both girls seem really on fire, but I don't know wich version of Na will show up tomorrow
I'll say Mary in three, but hopefully Na will prove me wrong  |

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
Li brings out the worst in Maria 
I'm expecting a shitfest and anyone can win.

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
Now that Maria improved her movement she can compete and dominate Na. I favour Maria.

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
Depends on which Sharapova shows up. Solid Sharapova should grant Li no more than 6 games, she moves almost as well, hits harder and more precise, doesn't give away a lead as easily and her RoS and even her serve are currently more stable. If the other Sharapova appears, she needs Li to have a bad day too to win it in the 3rd set.

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
I hope this is good and I really do not mind who wins, for Na it would be huge

Re: WWW Beijing SF: Na Li vs Maria Sharapova?
This is just like Black Swan. Instead of Natalie Portman though, you have Maria Sharapova.
