Li Na vs Peng Shuai
Victoria Azarenka vs. Elena Vesnina
Angelique Kerber vs. Caroline Wozniacki
Li Na vs Peng Shuai
All Chinese eyes will be on this match as 2 Chinese players battle it out in the capital of China. Li is chasing a spot in the YEC and will be eager to win this match and maybe the event to cement her place in the top 8. Peng did well to defeat Shvedova but beating Li will be a tough task for her. Peng needs to hope that Li has an off day and starts spraying errors, while she needs to play clean tennis herself. With the tutelage of Carlos Rodriguez, Li seems to be playing better than ever. So it will be tough to pick against her.
Pick: Li in 2 sets
Angelique Kerber vs. Caroline Wozniacki
Caroline Wozniacki is fighting for a place in the YEC and she needs to win every match she plays here and in her later tournaments. Will she step it up and make a last ditch attempt to qualify? Well, she barely survived her last match against Hsieh so I'm not getting my hopes too high. Kerber is a workhorse and despite losing in a terribly lopsided scoreline last week in Tokyo, she was just outplayed by Radwanska. With Wozniacki's lack of imagination on court, it will be tough for the Dane to outplay Kerber. Also, her over-eagerness may cause her to go for too much and commit uncharacteristic errors.
Pick: Kerber in 2 tight sets
Sure win bets: Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka
Upset alert: Sorry but really none! Maybe Angelique Kerber but I highly doubt so!
