I think this will be a close three set match. Venus has looked good, and Cornet struggled with Maria today, but acting aside, I think Cornet will be fine, physically for the match.

Cornet can mix up the play well and I think will cause Venus to hit a lot of UE's.

Hopefully, Venus pulls through, but I think it will be a tight match.

Cornet doesn't really bother Venus, but this is clay so I'm not predicting anything. :lol:

4th round at RG would be pretty amazing for Vee at this point in her career though. :cheer:

This is a great opportunity for Venus. Making R4 in RG considering her results there in the last 5 years would be a big deal for her. I don't think she can lose this match.

Veesus is still injured and this is RG so I'm not really trusting that H2H too much. Still, she can't let the crowd get into her head because we all know they will try it. Reach that 4th round, sis. :inlove:
So, you're saying this will be a wheelchair match? Because I'm pretty sure Cornut will have one too...

Alizé herself isn't optimistic at all at the prospect of this match.

Nothing to lose, in short.
Given that she probably lost what little respect anyone still had left for her today, I would say you are absolutely correct.

I need this to be short and sweet. Even if Venus wins in some 3 hour shitfest she will be completely dead for doubles and her 4th round. I want her to win in straights or lose in straights.

I'd honestly have her lose singles and win the doubles vs losing in both because of her body. We need some positive motivation badly.

The outcome of this match doesn't depend in the slightest on Alize Cornet. If Venus wakes up that morning and her immune system says "today's going to be one of those bad days!", it doesn't matter if it's Alize Cornet across the net, 1988 Steffi Graf, or a well-trained gerbil, Venus is going to lose. If she wakes up and feels close to 100%, she should win in pretty routine fashion against any player not in the top 20, even one of the mental fortitude of Cornet.

(and I LIKE Cornet! But she did lose 6 of her last 8 matches coming into RG...)
