I'm expecting Li Na in straights. Hopefully....

She'd be like the first Asian multi-slam winner in the Open Era or something

I think Cibulkova can win at least one set if she maintains her form. And doesn't freeze up like Lisicki did at Wimbledon

No doubt. Williams, Radwanska, Sharapova all gone. Even Azarenka - the favourite.

Holy crap, Nadal was like a sniper with those passing shots off both wings last night. GG Feds BH..

FUN FACT: Go to Feds Grandslam finals and out of the 24 finals he has been in, he's won 17 and lost 7. BUT, 6 out of those 7 losses have been at the hands of Nadal.

Federeer noo

Surprising fact in lead up to Women's final is the contrast between the average rank of players that each Li Na and Cibulkova faced in the preceding rounds -
LN - 134
DC - 21
Upset is highly possible
