Now that is a stupid thing to say, Kim did not play anywhere near her best in the final in NY but still had set points in set #1. If Kim plays her best, it will affect the result, the match would be incredibly tight and go either way. Henin has improved incredibly but still how Kim performs will matter!!!!If Henin-Hardenne has improved enough, it probably won't matter how well Clijsters performs. But the matter isn't really proved yet.
But I don't think Kim will make the final in Leipzig, jetlag affects her and she is in the tougher half.
