Vika Azarenka and Svetlana Kuznetsova will face off in the Miami final.
Azarenka
Vika has reached the final in great style without even dropping a set during the entire tournament. In the semifinal, the Belarusian was trashing Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber 6-2 5-3 before failing to serve out the match. Finally, the former world no.1 found her way back to wrap up the match in 1 hour and 33 minutes. (6-2 7-5). If Vika wins this title she will get the “sunshine double” (that means winning back to back Indian Wells and Miami).
Kuznetsova
Svetlana had a rather different run in Miami to reach the final after winning all matches in 3 sets with the exception of the semifinal. In 3 occasions the Russian had recover for a 1-set-down deficit. In the final 4 Svetlana defeated Timea Bacsinszky 7-5 6-3.
Head to head
Azarenka and Kuznetsova have played each other 8 times. The head to head is 4-all, but Vika has won 4 of the last 5 matches and she is the hot favorite to win also this one.
