Here is my take on this. Henin is more of a wall then Li, and she hits winners back.

Serena beat Li won 7-6 7-6 and looked relieved. she nearly lost the match before.

Serena Serves the hell out of it, and has great ground strokes but doesn't cover the court like Henin.

Serena is always on a mission, but having won so many titles, she may have lost a little of her edge do or die.

Serena is one year older then Henin.

Henin is on a mission. She only lost to Clisters who is as good or better then Serena.

Who will make the least errors? Who will force more errors?

Both have a great serve.

Both Hate to lose

Henin 290-37
Serena 251-60

Who brings intensity to every match? Look at the record.


Who has faced stiffer competition this AO? Henin 

Who had an easier semi(albeit Zheng is not Li) Henin

Who has  fresher legs in general? Henin

Head to head serena 7-6 Henin 4-2 in Slams(Mostly Clay).

Does Vegas win or lose in general? Serena is getting about 60% and line went from -105 to -120 on serena and has stayed steady.

Juice on over 22 1/2 is -140-This usually means under because everyone is slamming the over, or the books want you to think that.

Vegas doesnt lose much.
 
So does this mean 2 sets?

Just thoughts.

If Henin gets Serena running around and huffing and puffing, that means more double faults and errors then usual for Serena.

My Call on this is Henin.

I am going to put 2 units on Henin to Win at even money.

I really want +330 on Henin 2-1 So I may put 1 on that and be happy to win 1 unit or 4.3 if I sweep.


If I lose.... well.... I lose, right?  But gut and head is saying Henin, and I hope I am right.

Also kicking myself for not taking Fed at +112 to win the AO before Tsonga and now he is -175. Ugggggghhhhh.

I see everyone talking about Henin Overvalued.

The reason the line is near dead even is because they are both champions and they have a near identical head to head. Who is Hungrier? Henin for this title, and Serena for Snickers and line judges heads on a stake who call foot faults. Lol.

i just don't see why all the henin love... I capped this at Serena -200... and when i saw -120.. i jumped all over it.. Thats just too good to not take with the #1 woman's player against henin who is returning to the game after retirement..  Clijsters did it at the US OPEN, but i don't think Serena will let it happen again

Looks like you had a good night in basketball, I hope you don't lose it all in this match Cameron.

Definitely not a -200 line in my eyes. Don't you know Henin has wn 30 more matches and lost 30 less then Serena? Against the same players.

You can't throw -200 on a lesser record and an even head to head. Not to mention Serena has struggled the last two matches. Only -200 is Serena is dominating...  Best of Luck.

Serena is like a 

I'll put my money on the player who makes 10 aces per match....

Serena is hungrier and a tougher competitor...as soon as she starts growling the match is over..

Yeah...she is... But I still think Henin, who is healthier and won 7 of 11 Slam finals will win.  She has faced tougher competition then serena, and Serena has struggled more.

Thanks philly. No sure bet either way. I wan to play 2-3 for both and guarantee money, but i am worried Henin takes it 2-0. I dont think Serena will take it 2-0 and hell i dont want to stay up til 4 am betting live. lol

I think Serena wins. Henin's second serve has been weak and I think Serena will take full advantage of this. I'm rooting for Henin, but I don't really see how she will win unless Serena isn't 100%.
