5 Reasons to Back

Hantuchova (SLO) to defeat Victoria Azarenka (BLR) @ [2.74]

•The most important stat coming into this match is that Daniela holds a 2-0 head-to-head series lead over today's opponent Victoria Azarenka. And that includes a three set win this year over the Belarusian in Doha.

•Hantuchova has won five of her last six matches on grass and six of her last six matches at Grand Slam level with her overall record reading 8-2.

•The Slovakian defeated World No. 4 Na Li and multi Wimbledon Champion Venus Williams (both in straights sets) on the Eastbourne grass last week, before retiring in the final to Petra Kvitova. The week prior to that, Hantuchova reached the final of Birmingham on the same surface.

•Hantuchova has a higher break point save % on grass than Azarenka and higher second serve win percentage

•Azarenka has a nasty habit of retiring from her matches due to injury or other unbeknown reasons; the Belarusian has withdrawn from six of her last six losing matches!

3-0 lay of the day - Lay Rafael Nadal 3-0 v Gilles Muller @ [1.33]

•Did you know that Gilles Muller is one of only three players to have defeated the Spaniard at Wimbledon? Roger Federer and Paradorn Srichaphan are the other two; Muller's win came in 2005

•Muller has won eight of last nine matches on grass, four of last five when his opponent is a left-hander and eight of his last nine matches overall
