IMHO, Lindsay Davenport is the real #3, and #4 to #13 are kind of interchangeable. Viewed in that light, this is a match between players in the chase group. One solid top ten player, and one of the three challengers.

If anyone has any knowledge of Myskina's game, please share.

When Kim is firing on all cylinders, as she now seems to be, I see no 3 set potential in this match.

 

[mmcdonald]

it depends on how focused Myskina is, but definately to 3 sets, i really wouldnt be suprised if Myskina won

Nastya has a non-overcomeable problem only against players who can completely overpower her, like Lindsay or Serena. Against hardhitters even of Dementieva class Kim usually plays a defender and wins mostly on her defending quality. Against Nastya she'll have to be an aggressor against another excellent defender and tactician. 50:50. Given that Nastya is fresh, and Kim stlil has a jetlag against her, even if it is a mild westbound jetlag, Nastya will win.

Nastya will do Kim again, she's alot faster than Kim, her reading of the game is pretty good
Nastya still has these patches in her game when she goes off-color and lets a few games go by then tries to re-group.

Streaky still, she can rattle off alot of quick games with brilliant play or let a few by not so good play. (thats one of the joys of watching her play, just don't know which you will get) but she can change that in a flash.

Right, Eggy, she is like a box of chocolate ( @ Forrest Gump . And I love chocolate..

 

[mmcdonald]

Myskina beats Clijsters 7-5 1-6 6-3
only to be beaten by Williams 6-3 1-6 4-6

 

[Magnus's #1 Fan]

Anastasia will win the match

So that's 4 predicting Myskina, 1 undecided, and me? We'll see.

I have to go with Kim too..Myskina is a great player, but Kim has been tearing it up lately and if her form holds true I don't think Myskina can do much damage.

 

[eva]

kimmie,but a close match

 

[Steve1]

Myskina has a better backhand than Kim. Kim has the better forehand. Both are extremely fast and can defend very well.

Its going to be a tough match whatever way you look at it. If Anastacia can serve well (get a high %) she should atleast be on par with Kim...but sometimes her serve gets shaky.

Good luck Nastya!

Clijsters in three tight sets, something like 7-5 4-6 6-3

 

[dany_pro66]

i think Kim in 2 sets 7-5 6-3

 

[Bigkimfan]

Kim, in two sets!!!

Good luck Kim!!!

 

[Elske]

Kim in straight sets!

Go Kim!!

 

[*annamaria*]

Kim wins, I'm sure. If Kim keeps concentrated throughout the match, she'll win in two... if she starts struggling...well, I don't know, it could be a tight match then... but Kim wins, anyway.
I don't know what game myskina plays? can anyone help me?

 

[Come-on-kim]

I think Kim will win!!!!! If she beat Barbara Rittner 6-1 6-0, I think it means she is in form!!! And I'm totally sure that Kim want to win a third time leipzig like her idol (Steffi Graf) did!!!!!

GO KIM

 

[vaiva]

From the last two matches I saw Kim play, she looks to be in pretty frightening form. Still sometimes loses focus, but very determined to win, very focused.

I think Nastya may help Kim to win this. I think she can quickly give up in a couple of games if things won't go her way. But I expect this to be a close one.

I any case, I don't mind either of them to win. They should have put this match on TV

Kim seems to be in form, and when shes playing well theres only a few players that can beat her, and Myskinas not one of them. Kim in two tight sets.
