Caroline Wozniacki vs. Kim Clijsters
A match I have been waiting for all last week.
Clijsters had to get a little lucky in the last round to beat Li Na, but how will her ankle be heading into this match where she will have to run and hit a ton of balls.
Surprisingly these two have only played two times in their career. Clijsters has won both meetings, but they were both very close.
This time around, Wozniacki will be the fresher player. I think that gives her the edge to take the match in two very long and tough sets.
Great matches were played all over the grounds today. A few upsets, some comebacks and some big names looked impressive.
The WTA had the top players available to talk to this afternoon and everyone was in a good mood.

Sofia Arvidsson, lucky loser had the biggest comeback of the day. She won after trailing 0-6, 0-2.
Serena Williams pulled out of the U.S. Open on Friday, saying she still is recovering from surgery to repair cuts on her right foot.
The top-ranked Williams has won three titles at Flushing Meadows, part of her 13 Grand Slam singles championships, most among active women. Last year, she lost in the U.S. Open semifinals after a tirade at a line judge over a foot-fault call, an outburst that drew a record fine.
In a statement released by her publicist, Williams called missing the tournament "one of the most devastating moments of my career."
In a freak accident, the 28-year-old American reportedly was hurt by a broken glass at a restaurant while she was in Munich, shortly after winning her fourth Wimbledon singles title July 3. Williams had surgery July 15.
It looks like Caroline Wozniacki will be the women's top seed with Serena out of action.
The U.S. Open is Aug. 30-Sept. 12.
