Bartoli M. vs Petkovic A.

Strasbourg WTA tournament has come to an end and in the final act Marion Bartoli wil have to face Andrea Petcovic. Yesterday Marion Bartoli played in the semifinals against Anabel Medina Garigues and she won in two sets 6-1, 6-2. This was the first semifinal played on clay and won by Marion Bartoli in about four years. An interesting fact is tat Bartoli met Anabel Medina just a week ago in the tournament held in Rome and in that game she lost in tw sets . Marion Bartoli played 12 finals so far , wnnning 5 and losing 7 so today she will be looking for the sixth. Playing i front of her own fans in her country will be presure but above all it will be a motivation. Andrea Petkovic played against Daniela Hantuchova i the semifinals and she needed three sets to win the game.She admitted after the game Hatuchova was hitting powerfull but she deffended well. This two girls met 3 times before and Bartoli leads 2-1 but this year the score is 1-1. I consider Bartoli a favourite here and since she did not drop a single set i will go for 2-0
