Could we imagine better match-up for final? Current no. 1 in WTA Serena Williams against ex-queen of WTA just back from retirement. I think it's going to be a great match, even odds are really nice, Serena got the advantage that JuJu just came back to professional tennis. But I believed it won't be enough for another Belgian fairytale. Justine is really solid, her game is complex and although she had some up and downs but in semi-final she was so concentrated poor Jie Zheng could do absolutely nothing. Of course Serena is a brutal power but Justine is 4-1 lifetime in Grand Slams against Serena and I wouldn't say Serena is in optimal form right now. Viki Azarenka had her on edge and huge choke let Serena to come back, on other hand Justine nearly lost to Kleybanova but with the difference that Justine pushed and pushed until Kleybanova cracked. I was watching both of them nearly through the whole tournament and for me Justine is better player, might be a little bit rusty if Serena will keep the balls short and won't let Justine to open the game, but as far as I saw Serena allows to pretty a lot to hers opponents. Higher odds looks good to me.
