Kuz vs Saf

Kuz +210

HTH on Clay this year

9 (5) 2009    STUTTGART  CLAY              S.KUZNETSOVA6-4 6-3

Kuz also had a tougher draw in this tournament playing Radwanska (4th Round), Serana (Qtrs), and Stosur (Semis).  Safina played Rezai (4th Round), Azarenka (Qtrs), Cibulkova (semis).  Safina was only challenged by Azarenka but Azarenka was the highest ranked opponent she faced in the tournament.

Also Safina and Kuznetsova have apperently been ill this week (Safina mentioned this during her interview on NBC during kuznetsova's semi).  I havent heard anything else since then, but I would imagine they have recovered.  So probably not a factor in this match (hopefully).

I just think Kuz at +210 has value.  So Kuz it is.

BOL to all.
