Victoria Azarenka

n just her third French Open, Kvitova has now matched her longest run as she also reached the fourth round in her Roland Garros debut of 2008. She also was a quarterfinalist at the Australian Open in January and has won three times this year. In addition to the title in Madrid that included wins over Li and Azarenka, she captured the title at the Australian Open tuneup in Brisbane before beating former No. 1 Kim Clijsters for the Paris Indoors crown.

Li has also equaled her best French Open run — a fourth-round appearance in 2009. She has had a better Grand Slam finish, though, reaching the Australian Open final in January, but went into a long dry spell following a loss in the title match to Clijsters. After winning just one match in her next five events, Li reached the semifinals in each of her last two starts — the loss to Kvitova in Madrid and a setback to Samantha Stosur in Rome.

Victoria Azarenka

Victoria Azarenka is a Belarusian tennis professional who is currently ranked at number seven in the WTA rankings. She has won two Grand Slam titles in doubles but has yet to win a Grand Slam title in the singles. She won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title with Max Mirnyi in 2007 and then she won the French Open mixed doubles 2008 with Bob Bryan. Her records in the singles events of Grand Slams are not particularly impressive as she has only managed to reach to the quarter finals of Wimbledon and the French Open and the fourth round of Australian and U.S. Opens.

Victoria Azarenka is considered to be an aggressive baseline player. She is famous for her powered and well timed ground shots. The best shot played by her is the back hand which is considered to be one of the best in current women’s tennis. A forehand shot is considered to be her minor weakness which sometimes leads her to unforced errors which has improved in the recent times. But, her biggest weakness is her service because she struggles to earn cheap points and win close matches. But, with her improvements, she can surely go up to the top rankings with her performance.
