Serena and Victoria have one of the best rivalries going in tennis today. But then again, it would be more of a rivalry if Azarenka was able to get some more W's in her column. Williams currently owns a 12-3 record against Vika, but Azarenka has beaten her twice this season already.
They've met up three times already this season and in both match wins for Azarenka the match was played on hard courts. She beat Williams 7-6 (6), 2-6 and 6-3 at Doha and 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (6) in Cincinnati. Azarenka believes she can pick up a victory in this match today and if she is able to, it would be her third major championship to date. Azarenka has won back-to-back Australian Open titles, a tournament that is also played on the hard courts.
Serena has been the best women's tennis player for some time now and she has 16 major singles championships to her name. She's claimed the title at the U.S. Open four times now and is the defending champion, having beat Azarenka in three sets last year in the finals.
Look for a well-played match here today. We like Vika's ability to hang with Serenaon the hardcourts and she can beat Williams. Expect a three-set war between these two elite players. But we're going to take the player at such a value in Azarenka. She's drawing +320 odds, meaning she's a 3/1 underdog in the game. That's way too high for someone who already has two wins over Serena this year.
