Istanbul's Elite Eight: Head-To-Head Records
Serena Williams grande favorita
ISTANBUL, Turkey
- In the year-long build-up to the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships - Istanbul 2012, it has been about winning matches and building up ranking points. But now that the elite eight line-up is set, it's all about match-ups, match-ups and more match-ups. Some players have done amazing things against the rest of the elite eight, while some have struggled.
Who has done well against the rest and who hasn't? Check it out...
Qualifier No.3: Serena Williams
~ Williams vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 9-1 (9,0 ratio)
Qualifier No.1: Victoria Azarenka
~ Azarenka vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 14-5 (2,8)
Qualifier No.2: Maria Sharapova
~ Sharapova vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 11-8 (1,4)
Qualifier No.8: Li Na
~ Li vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 7-8 (0,9)
Qualifier No.6: Petra Kvitova
~ Kvitova vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 5-7 (0,7)
Qualifier No.4: Agnieszka Radwanska
~ Radwanska vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 5-10 (0,5)
Qualifier No.5: Angelique Kerber
~ Kerber vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 6-12 (0,5)
Qualifier No.7: Sara Errani
~ Errani vs. rest of elite eight in 2012: 2-8 (0,25)
Da notare che solo le prime tre (Williams, Azarenka e Sharapova), hanno un rapporto positivo fra vittorie e sconfitte con le altre top-eight. Sara è senz'altro la meno favorita (ma del resto si sapeva), però il sistema round-robin garantisce a tutte la disputa di almeno tre incontri, che sono "pagati" 70 punti ciascuno, anche in caso di sconfitta. Un incontro di primo turno vinto vale invece 160 punti. Quindi nella peggiore della ipotesi Sara porterà a casa 210 punti, e forse un prestigioso titolo di doppio...
