Wozniacki will be looking for her 14th WTA title and the second this year after clinching Dubai Tennis Championships title last week. The 20-year old Dane was in top form since the start of the tournament and had no trouble in reaching the final after knocking out Nadia Petrova (Russia), Flavia Pennetta (Italy) and Marion Bartoli (France) without losing a single set.
On the other hand, Zvonareva reached the final on Friday after a three-set victory over former world no. 1 Jelena Jankovic. She also needed more than three hours to get past Slovakia’s Daniela Hantuchova in the quarter-finals on Thursday.
Both players are eager to win the title today with the race over top places in WTA Rankings getting tighter than ever. Wozniacki needs to widen the gap between her and World no. 2 Kim Clijsters, while Zvonareva needs to retain the second place from the veteran Belgian.
The head to head record between the two players is in favor of Wozniacki who defeated Zvonareva in four previous encounters while losing three times. Two of their previous encounters were in the final of WTA tournaments, and Wozniacki won on both occasions.
