Shoutapova must be excited about getting to a final without Azarenka on the other side of the net but if she capitulates to someone different in a final it will be hilarious to watch. She beat woz and A-rad is similar to woz...but...this is a final and anything can happen. Going small on A-rad here.

i really thought kvitova would dominate for a while but she seems to have fallen away.
Sharapova surely had time to run around that high ball and smash it away after it bounced.
Kvitova's got time on her side - players who have a big slam often go through a bit of a lull before they finally start reaching their potential on a consistent basis. She's got a lot to do though. She's waaaaayyyyy too hit and miss currently.
Radwanska is going to win thi smatch sitting mostly on her ar$e

Which part exactly? I saw a lot of Radwanska matches and i know what i'm talking about. Maybe the word pusher would be hard to accept for a fan, I can understand that, but she's very defensive.

Don't lose hope yet bob. This could still go either way.
This match is not over. Sharapova is one hell of a a fighter and mentally tough.
This set will be decided by a small number of points. Shara quite capable of winning those. but then, so's Rad! Tough one to call, but no foregone conclusion for either player.
Full credit to A Rad, superb and boy did I get this one wrong!
Yep Yorker, but there could well be a tb coming up. She only needs to turn the odd error into a winning shot and she'll have enough to take it into a third.
my money was firmly on sharapova, and i still think her best is far superior to radwanska. shame we have no way of putting that to the test today.
theres still hope, but as many have said already, radwanska is showing great determination on the pressure points, something that sharapova isnt.

Sky Go is so far behind. Azarenka just won the australian 
and i think the last two points have capitulated my comments!
at this level if you cant hold your serve then your a joke
brilliantly played Miss Radwanska. Perhaps the 1.6 Shara lumpers will now realise this game isn't just about power!
congrats aggie
unlucky maria your still looking good

Well played Raddy . You Deserve this . Shara made too much unforced errors
any streaming for the doubles final? have to win back my loss on that
Brilliant stuff and very well deseved. Well done to all A Rad backers. Bad luck to all Shara backers but i'm very grateful!
To be fair Tru, for WTA that was epic serve holding. A single break in each set? You don't see that often in the women's game.

Both have lost to Azarenka this year although Sharapova has lost to Kerber too. The last time they played was close at the French open and you can discount all the previous meetings as Radwanska was working her way up the rankings. Has Radwanska improved more than Sharapova in the time since the French Open? I think so. Radwanska in two sets for me.
Wow how right was I. I wish I had stayed in and won a fortune
how funny was that. Shaz finally fixed her serve and stopped the double faults and still lost a final Mindless blasting for the sake of blasting. Shaz should become a baseball hitter if that's all she wants to do.

typical balbasher hit or miss boring tennis. but must say Masha went out of shell in her gameplan initially, she was trying to keep the ball in taking same pace out at the first 6-7 games.
it was surprising as she played nicely some long rallies and was hitting ball on ther run...
but it was going to the momment when she was getting exhausted too much,and she realised that she wont win this way at the end
so she started to strike ball harder and harder to shorten points, but as we know this going to low percentage winners count and high count of errors at the end.
i think she played quite well in this match was focused ,hit some nice unusuall for her shots, nicely played on the net, no double faults, great percentage of first serve in...
this was top quality tennis match
agnieszka was playing great match,as whole tournament, she was doing what she could do to win, every ball she sent on the other side of the net even under immence power and preasure was different with all sorts of spins lenghts angles, made masha to reset before every single shot(that as well pushed her to the errors), she attacked at the right moments, returned every ball could be returned with masha serving,every 2nd serve she was steping into the court one meter but masha didnt made single error. all the spins she was createing never allowed masha to take full control on the ball.
she hold every single serve game whole match(when for example lost 6 with barto)
this was the battle of big minds when masha is mental giant ,aga came out even bigger.
this was great match, people who doesnt understand fully how tennis court and tennis shots works to create a point, will critisize agnieszka for being defensive blah blah blah and saying masha not "playing her best"( i mean who stopped her???) when she actually tryed to do best she could with her abilies
but haw could u imagine player of agnieszka phisical shape would go out and try to smash sharapowa off the court???
she easly could go for every ball she got to hit a winners, its very easy but it doesnt work that way, u can just bash ball with some certain spin and bounce angle and court position and hit the winners ffs ,u cant just "cut the errors" like some pple say on ur will. its impossible. u can cut the errors by easying the shot going for less power but more precision( what masha tryed to do in first 7 games)
and precision won!
simple as that . rad isnt a ball pusher like wozniacki, her defensive shots have all sorts of spins and angels, ball placement is top class, best on the tour, if u take her defensive lob tis 90% lands in the court 1 meter space from the line. no other player can hit tha precision so difficult shot under immence preassure she is hitting it, any other player just losing the point.
i mean if u expecting her to hit a winners when she is being pushed by 17 cm higher ,and one of the strongest on the tour, no2 in the world, 3 times slam champ, u r an idiot.
rad do what she can do, with less powerfull players she dictates the game(well she dictated with masha as well) she steps the court a lot attacking the net when possible hit serve and voleys, but most of the time she doesnt need to be that good to win, her deffensive skills are far superior and she uses them. but against bigger guns she is aggressive remember her against petko vera wozzy etc.also she isnt hitting as many winners only because has not that much power to hiy clear winner ,but she hits many wher player gets to the ball but cant do more, tennis stats are not complete to describe the game ,ther r also forced errors.
sometimes i think rad to gain recpect from some people would have to get on court hit 20 winners make 37 errors and lose but as a winner hitter
big match for agnieszka,another stepping stone for her career
