For me it's a hard bet but also it's Australian Open semi-final so I got to write some words about it. In other semis for me Sharapova is dominating favorite and don't think that Jelena Jankovic will survive Russian fire. In this match it going to be more interesting. I put away my feeling to Ana and her beauty and honestly I tell you that girl fully deserves for final. She is determinate and in quite optimal form to count with every player in WTA, nearly all because if Sharapova will still show her game I don't think Ana or Daniela will be able to bite her even in a small way. In this match I trust in my almost whole year observation of Daniela's and Ana's game in 2007 and these ladies games in Melbourne in 2008. My heart was begging for Radwanska win but sadly she didn't handle the pressure against Hantuchova. But with Ana the Slovakian girl will be in totally different situation because Ivanovic game is different than Radwanska, much harder for Daniela. In my opinion Daniela just don't know how to play against agressive players with very hard hits. Kirilenko didn't present any super tennis game, but she posses very strong bite and serve so she was able to crack a set and lead 3:0 in second but Daniela found a good solution and somehow won. Other matches with 'strong hit' players? Safina, Vaidisova, Williams sisters and of course Ivanovic always against Hantuchova give her a lot of problems to handle this style of game. It doesn't mean that she will go down quick, because she is really in nice form here in Australia, very quick movement on court and she increased much her psyche, which was her real problem year ago. I think that if Ana will hit hard in first set and win it, Hantuchova won't be able to stand up. And as I know Ana motivation and pursuit for final she will start with hell speed and will try to crush Hantuchova service in first games. Ana posses much stronger hit and play more agressive, Hantuchova uses much more technique, cross hits, but if Ana will smash strong balls she won't run long ball exchanges like with Radwanska. I hope Ana will give her best. In my opinion Hantuchova isn't a player that keep for long her serve and if she give it up once she will do it more times. I bet around 6:2, 6:4 for Ana and will pray for that. Ou, yes, my dream final is coming. My two beloved players Ivanovic and Sharapova. <3 Good luck, mates... :)
