I'm very excited for Lucie/Ana. Mainly because I want one of those two playing Petko in the semis, so I am guaranteed having a favorite in the final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

My Sveta v Petra...........all I can say this match up is too cruel for me.
Sveta try to stay in the moment and dont go on a mental 'holiday'
Sveta is the better clay court player....if that means anything at all in this match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another interesting match for me is

Stephens v Makarova....Makarova can be a tricky opponent.I have been pleased so far with Sloane's performance....it's a pity she dosent perform as well in WTA tournaments,like she does in Grand Slams.

Double mental case? Petra can go on those mental holidays too...

Sveta being more brain prone than Petra, I think this is the end for the X-champion.

This is interesting:
Jelena Jankovic (SRB) (6) vs. Sorana Cirstea (ROU) (26)

Sorana has NEVER lost to JJ on clay but then JJ has beaten Sorana 3 in a row!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ Both players are 'headcases' thats why this match up is cruel for any tennis fan...
I am not predicating a out come in this match up.
Sveta Davai!!!!!!!!

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

In this match I want my Cinderella to continue her dream...
Andrea Petkovic (GER) (28) vs. Kristina Mladenovic (FRA)
That would be the Frenchwoman.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great fhand passing shot Sveta

Take this BP

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

DF from Petra another BP for Sveta.....

Good 1st serve from Petra......Deuce

Petra saves 3BPs and consolidates the break....

[MargaretMcAleer]

Thank you Sveta...you have had soo many BP opportunities on Petra's serve and you finally convert

Just when I thought we had dismissed Aga's floral nightmare, I see Maka is wearing a short sleeved version of it. :nono Hopefully Ebony Smooth will send it packing today.

Halep takes the opener over ToFlo 6-3. Sloane takes the opener over Maka 6-3
