Samantha Stosur will take on Na Li on Friday for a crucial group stage matchup at the WTA ChampionshipsYou can watch and bet on the action from the WTA Championships at bet365Samantha Stosur had a day off on Thursday, and she’ll return to the court on Friday with ambitions of qualifying for the semi-finals of the WTA Championships. She was easily beaten by Victoria Azarenka in her last match, but the Aussie will be ready to put this behind her when she takes on Na Li.
Li also had difficulties with Azarenka. She fell to a 6-2, 6-2 defeat against the Belarusian on Thursday, meaning that the winner of this upcoming contest will make it through to the final four. Li wasn’t at her best against Azarenka, but she showed more of what she’s capable of against Maria Sharapova earlier in the week, and isn’t necessarily struggling for form.
Many pundits are tipping Stosur to win this match, which is due to the fact that Stosur has a 5-0 head to head record against the world No. 5. The most recent meeting between the pairing (Cincinnati, 2011) went into three sets though, so there’s a chance that Li could snap her losing streak against Stosur here.
