Sorana Cirstea is no pushover on clay. I believe she was a quarterfinalist here before - or at least a Round of 16-ner. However, today, with a score of 62 61, Li Na, showed an incredibly consistent and powerful game that she was able to convert at all the crucial points, maybe except for 3 games - which went to Sorana. The score does not really depict what happened since most games reached deuces, but as I said, when it mattered most, Li Na was there to pounce for the point! She looks great and has a good chance of defending her title!
