Kvitova defeated Li for the Rogers Cup title Monday, so reporters asked who she thought would win the W&S Open title.

“I think that Li Na win. I think that if she will not as crazy as me today, she can win,” Kvitova said. “Yeah, I saw her when she played tonight against the Venus, and I think if she will play similar, I think she will have tomorrow going for the volleys. So we will see. ”

Kerber said she’s having fun and will try to continue the stride against Li.

“I need to play for sure 100 percent if I will have a chance to win this match,” Kerber said. “I think I’m ready. I feel very good here. It’s the final. I will enjoy it. I enjoyed my whole week here.”

Here are a few notes about the championship match:

- Kerber is the first left handed player to contest the final in Cincinnati since Patty Schnyder won the title in 2005.

- Kerber is looking for her third title of 2012, while Li, a finalist last week in Montreal, is looking for her first title of the season.

- Li holds a 4-1 edge in their head-to-head meetings.
