Kim Clijsters and Li Na

Could be a very close match with the defending champ and Li Na from China.

Clijsters leads the head-to-head 5-2, but the two have split their last four meetings.

The Belgian won their last meeting which was right here last year.  The match went the distance and this one might as well.  In a year where there have been a lot of blow outs on the women's side, this one should live up to any advance billing.

Prediction: Clijsters in 3.
