If the match gets close, Li should do everything she can to distract the cheater. Take a timeout and say she just wants to relax, complain to the umpire about her shrieking, whatever.

The crowd will be 100% behind her.

Crowd cheering every point Azarenka loses - great to see.

They should boo her when she goes to serve.

So you are in favor of crowds being classless as$holes. We will remember this if you ever complain about crowds being rude to a player you support.

Good lord, that reaction from the crowd when Azarenka walked out, oh wait a minute, there was none LOL!

Crowd cheering for all her unforced errors, the crowd is completely on Na Li's side, I almost feel sorry for her, i feel that maybe she's copped too much from her MTO, it was clear that toward the second set against Sloane that she was feeling extreme discomfort because of the heat, and just needed a 10 min break to get her S*IT together.

Li Na's first serve has really become more of a weapon under the tutelage of Carlos Rodriguez. Forehand also has more margin now because I think she is using more of the Windshield Wiper technique.

Should have tanked the set if she wanted a break....

You can't use a MTO just because your having a mental break down.

i also think Li is different Li mentally.

Li Na should just allow herself to get bullied from the baseline, make Azarenka think that she'll go for a crazy pass when Azarenka attacks the net and then hit a casual passing shot.

Azarenka's volleys suck so much she won't make a single volley.

Yeh, I am somewhat against Azarenka, as i don't like her as a player, i hated what she did in that match, i wanted Sloane to possibly win in 3, i love her attitude on and off the court, i honestly wanted Azarenka to really cop it for what she did, but i feel maybe shes copped too much?

WOOO HOOOOO !
This is nothing short of tennis lessons from Li.

Vika has NO IDEA what to do.
She started attempting miraculous shots which only resulted in more errors.

Even if they brought in Serena, i don't think it would have made any difference.

Wow,,, wow,, Li !

This is such an easy match to root for.

Vika - one of the most unlikeable players. Hate her.

Li Na - everyone loves her!

Azarenka didn't cheat - her timing was questionable and she admits she should've taken it earlier, but she won a match she was going to win anyway.

The Azarenka hate here is pretty pathetic. She was clearly suffering, whether it was physically or mentally, and so a MTO is justifiable. Sloane herself said it didn't affect her. I'm not sure what everyone here is bleating about to be honest.

At this point, we must seriously ponder the possibility of another MTO move from Azarenka.

Really, that is the only hope for Azarenka now !
