She's hotter and funnier as well. I like her fire and gamesmanship, unlike the sterile Chinese robot.

Must be slim pickings where you're from if you think Azarenka is anywhere near hot. She has no shape at all and walks pigeon toed with her rear end stuck out. Her face is ordinary and she has a nasty, arrogant personality. Seems like all one has to do to be considered hot is have long blonde hair. Lol.

Hope Li can win here - would be nice to see. I was delighted to see her beat Sharapova today, I think it is refreshing for the game. Li is modest, Sharapova is sooo arrogant. Azarenka is somewhere in the middle but her shrieking annoys me

How come you used Azarenka's surname, but not Li's?

It's a start. I said she's hotter than Li Na, and, let's face it - that ain't hard. Compared to Azarenka you're the back end of a bus, so don't make comments about her.

I wish Li could send the hooting owl packing, but I don't think she has the game to beat Azarenka.

Only if the crowd gets into it and she has a mental breakdown... It would be pretty sweet if that were to happen.

Surprisingly large ratio of votes to Li

It's all wishful thinking.

Li Na will have another meltdown, and Azarenka, defending champion, will be rock-solid.

The way these two have been playing, it's much more likely that the opposite will happen.

In a meltdown-free match Azarenka should win though.

Several years ago I watched Azarenka play in the USO - and she crumbled right on the Grandstand. She sat on the court and cried. She was then the supposed next great thing in women's tennis.

Nothing's changed. She can't handle pressure and will resort to cheating (as she did with that phony injury timeout) to win. She was falling a part and had she not taken that time out, would likely have fallen in a quick third set.

She is a disgrace to the sport where you have true champions like Serena Williams willing to play through severe pain and injury because it a major and she just does not quit.

This fragile china doll will be forgotten except for her bad attitude when all the top 20 realize that she has zero backbone.

You have no idea what I look like so how could you know that? The only bus I hope comes around soon is the one that hits you with a perma ban.

Oh, and Azarenka is not hot, and is not that pretty. Low standards seem to be the norm for you.

Agreed. I hope she loses and loses badly in the final.

Li played better in the semis for sure, if she can stay out of her own head and bring that level again, I like her chances. I'll be rooting for her.

[OrangePower]

If I were betting on it, I would bet on Azarenka. Li has the ability to win if she is playing her best, but Azarenka is steadier and more likely to keep it together on the day.

But I really want Li to win. I just don't like Azarenka, her gamesmanship, and her banshee wails.

I don't think faking an injury when the going gets tough is going to help shake the 'headcase' (or what most of us are thinking - punk headcase) moniker.

If there is any justice in this world, Li Na will give her the same beat she gave Sharapova.

I think annoying Azarenka will win.

I hope she does too.

I have heard that.

Azarenka is just average looking. Ivanovic puts her to shame imo.

But Li Na leads their h2h in slams 2-0.

Yep, she is still a headcase, she just tries to hide it a little better now that she is number one. It is all right there bubbling beneath the surface.

I hope Li Na wins. Karma will come back to bite Azarenka. She might actually get a "real" injury.
