In my opinion,
1. Stosur
2. Errani
3. Cibulkova
4. Kerber

I just didn't feel Angie today. Sometimes she looks a bit overwhelmed by the surface. She might definitely prove me wrong though!

 

[Stonerpova]

I picked Cibulkova to upset Stosur, and I think she'll go onto the final.

 

[tkutsaar]

I pick Angie merely because she is the one I'm cheering for.

 

[jameshazza]

It should be Sam, but she's very shaky right now at the prospect of doing it. Haven't been feeling Angie either but I'm happy she's made the last 8 to back up her top 10 status.

 

[Craig.]

Errani. It's so going to happen.

 

[AnomyBC]

PLEASE let it be Domi. If we get a Cibulkova vs. Sharapova Final I will DIE of happiness

 

[Sam]

Errani. And she'll win it all too. Over Lepchenko.

 

[SilverPersian]

I think Sam would have to be favourite on paper, but after her performance against Sloane Stephens...there is still a long way to go.

Wouldn't be surprised if Errani got there - and she's had a pretty difficult draw, so will have earned it.

 

[cherboy]

stosur beat cibulkova
kerber beat errani

kerber beat stosur

 

[Keadz]

Sam being a fairly heavy favourite isn't the best scenario in the world, but she really shouldn't lose to any of these girls. She hasn't lost to players of Errani, Cibulkova or Kerbers calibre/style during the clay court season. 3 losses against grandslam champions, and a loss against peak Hradecka on an ice rink isn't too bad going into a grandslam.

Will be interesting to watch. If not Sam I hope Kerber can pull through, but I'm thinking she might struggle against Sara.

 

[Charlatan]

In theory, Sam should be getting to the final...but my gut is saying Cibulkova

 

[Inger67]

Hope Kerber but think it will be Sam

 

[faboozadoo15]

Doesn't Stosur usually maul really short players?

I think most of these matchups are a tossup, which is half the fun.

 

[djbueno]

Errani. And she'll win it all too. Over Lepchenko.

Oh my

 

[Buitenzorg]

Stosur

 

[stromatolite]

Sam will make the final, no problems. Bad day at the office yesterday, she played at 60-70% tops. Her forehand was missing in action for most of the match, but on the few points in which it did fire she blew Sloane away as expected. Sam usually throws in a bad day like that from time to time, and she wasn't the only favorite to struggle. I don't think it was nerves like a lot of people are saying (except maybe not serving out at the end), her forehand just wasn't firing, end of story. She'll get that sorted and will overpower Domi.

I think she'll play Angie in the SF, same as NY, and again I expect it to be a tough match, but Sam will be patient and do what she needs to do to outlast Angie.

agree go Sam

 

[OsloErik]

I'm skeptical about Cibulkova beating Stosur, because the kick from Stosur's shots will make her either stay too far back and be passive, or take the ball early and unpredictably.

Kerber didn't look as sharp as she needs to be. She's also a rhythm player, and Errani won't give her that. Although I do expect Kerber to crush Errani's serve.

My (bold...) guess is Stosur, but I'd love to see Cibulkova face Kvitova in the final.

 

[A Magicman]

I'd love it to be Sam, but she is the same mental f$cker as I proved to be yesterday, so I believe that she is gonna find a way to mess it up.

So it needs to be one of the other three and the mentally most stable seems to be Errani. Which would be wow.

Just hand the trophy to Maria already.

 

[SVK]

Oh, a poll... *view poll results*... Stosur so far leads with 55%, so it will be not her. Cibulkova with the biggest chance, Errani not that much behind her.
