Zvonareva will play with all the might as always. She will be taking perfect assistance from the her flaming forehands and will harness it with her backhands. Kanepi is been showing great coverage on court and fluent forehands. She also has the tendency to adapt herself quickly to demanding situations. The match will rest on a good start. A good start of the sets will go a long way in deciding the course of the match.
