Australian Open - Final Preview
3 Kim Clijsters vs 9 Li Na - H2H: 4-2
Something tells me either winner would make for a very popular champion.
Kim is looking to add a 'different' Slam to her 3 US Open titles.
While Li is looking to become the 1st Asian winner in tennis' long history.
She has already entered the history books by being the 1st Asian finalist.
This is their 3rd meeting at a Slam - Kim won the other two.
Kim came into this tournament the favorite to lift the trophy but...
Remember, Li beat Kim 2 weeks ago in the Sydney final in straight sets.
This would mark Kim's 41st title as opposed to only the 5th for Li.
This is Kim's 8th Slam final: 3-4. And 2nd at the AO: in '04 she lost to Henin.
Let's hope Li's husband & Kim's daughter let them both sleep well last night.
Talk to you on the other side of the match folks.
