[Rose]

I seem to know more of the players in this Tournament. But I never seem to have any ideas about who will win!

 

[ozza]

Katowice is on indoor hard courts this year.

Vinci is the defending champion, but it was on indoor clay last year.

It's hard to look past Radwanska winning her home tournament.

This event is live on Eurosport all week for anyone with access to that.

 

[tented]

It's hard to look past Radwanska winning her home tournament.

That's true. Plus, none of the other top players are there to beat her (i.e., Serena, Azarenka, etc.).

Go Aga!

This event is live on Eurosport all week for anyone with access to that.

Thanks for the tip.

 

[Hoergren]

Go Aga :clap

 

[HawkEye]

I voted for Navaro, but now I've realized it is not on clay anymore. So I'm changing my vote to Aga.

Roberta Vinci goes down in the first round again, this has been a real bad year for her so far.

Vinci won 6-3, 6-3 vs Ksenia Pervak.

Oops, sorry, read that one wrong.

Roberta is now 2-8 for the year. She reached the second round once this year, this is the second time.
I think she is defending 280 points this week, she may fall out of top 20 soon.

Yes I think she will probably lose to Giorgi tomorrow.

She doesn't actually defend a lot of points before the French Open though.

Thanks for posting the schedule of play, Hoergren.

I am looking at that match as the passing of the torch ceremony!

Lets see how it turns out.
