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.
