Azarenka – Goerges will be this year final in Linz.
This tournament is considered by Azarenka as the preparation for Istanbul where the top players are going to clash for the final showdown. So a nice win would give (another) boost to Vika’s confidence.
Azarenka – Begu 6-2 6-1
Easy stuff for Vika that conceded only 3 games to the world no.57. The Belarus looked as comfortable as ever. She won 60 points vs 34… smooth.
“Her tennis was hard to judge, she played many different shots,” Azarenka said. “I was playing well, had a few mistakes here and there, but overall it was a good performance.”
Goerges – Flipkens 1-6 6-2 6-3
“Gorgeous Goerges” rallied back from a disastrous first set that she lost at 1 to then fight back and win at the decider.
“She served well so it was hard to get into the match,” Goerges said. “I am happy I managed to find my game in the second set and win the match.”
The Final
Head to head is 3-1 for Azarenka that won the last 3 matches without losing a set.
“Obviously I am the underdog, she is the world nr. 1,” Goerges said. “I will try to play my own game, focus on myself and show her how dangerous my game can be.”
Our pick is obviously Azarenka!
