Suarez Navarro v Kleybanova at Indian Wells – who will win?

Question

Who will win the fourth round match between Carla Suarez Navarro and Alisa Kleybanova at Indian Wells in 2010? They’ve both claimed a win over a big name player (Suarez Navarro over Svetlana Kuznetsova and Kleybanova over Kim Clijsters) so far in the tournament.

Answer 1

I’m picking Kleybanova on current form – she won her first career title not so long ago in Kuala Lumpur. But while Suarez Navarro may not be the most powerful player on tour, she should be able to handle the Russian’s strong ground strokes  - her ability to soak up the power was best displayed in her win over Venus Williams at the 2009 Australian Open.
