Azarenka vs Li Na
Well that was an interesting final, not quite what I expected and a lot of it revolved around Li Na’s ankles.
Detailed below you can see the profit profile for Azarenka. This is basically telling you what would have happened if you backed Azarenka at the start. Above the line means you would have profited by backing Azarenka or laying her opponent. Below the line means the opposite.
In total, excluding brief periods above and below it flipped six times during the match. But the most significant period was from the first injury break to the second. After the first injury the odds on Azarenka crashed in until people realised that perhaps Li Na’s injury wasn’t that bad. The final set was heading for a nice set up until Li, turned her ankle again and that decisively put the match Azarenka’s way. It would have probably been a much better trading opportunity in that last set if that hadn’t occured, but such is life. You can’t have everything turn out in the best possible way.
At least we had the match flip flop between Li and Azarenka, I hate one side finals. Let’s hope we don’t have one tomorrow!
