Clay season ended with a nice accent - Doubles-Title in Bad Gastein :D So it's time to move on green grass.

Let's start a discussion about Wimbledon and the Olympics ;)

Julia will be seeded in Wimbledon and will be in Top-23 (Petko, Kanepi out), it means Top-8 oponent in 4th round. So it's ok ;)

(I prefer to say nothing about V.W. and K.C.)...

May be able to play like in Australia :) But above all I hope for the defense of points from last year (3rd round).

Come on Julia!

--------------------

Ps: hope it won't be a picnic on thickets :bowdown:

Re: Picnic on the green grass with Julia

Julia will be on position 22, toughest possible 1st round opponents are obviously Venus and Clijsters but also players like Makarova,Pironkova,Shvedova, Oudin etc. could be tricky.
I hope she gets a good draw and no Dutchie in 1st round.
Toughest possible 3rd round opponents are Bartoli,Li or Ivanovic also could face Zvonareva,Errani or Pennetta (which seems to be easier) or the surprise bags Cibulkova/Lisicki!

Will be interesting for sure, on a good day Julia will be able to beat any possible 1st round opponent anywy, except for Kim and Venus. Hopefully she learned from her mistakes from Paris and Gastein and stays focused.
Clay season was average this year but she had some success on hard court earlier, so grass also should suit here this year, she will have all chances as long as her serve works but she absolutely has to avoid cheap UEs when she has the chance to go for "easy" winners but that is mostly a question of concentration...

Re: Picnic on the green grass with Julia

Görges def. Peer 62 62

Good start from Frau Görges, Peer really suits her game it seems, fantastic stats and no break for Peer in the whole match! :D
Next round vs Minella or Yakimova, has to win this as well but Julia has to be careful, she has to stay focused, I honestly don´t expect her as easy as today but should be a two sets win!!

Anyway, last time Julia lost in the first round of a slam was 2 years ago here at Wimbledon against Bartoli, can be really satisfied with that but I hope that she will take her chances in future at slams as well as QF in Paris was more than possible and here in Wimbledon 3rd round against Ivanovic already will be too tough, I guess, but we´ll see, everything is possible these days at WTA tour!

Re: Picnic on the green grass with Julia

We all know, crucially are Julia's 3rd round matched. But good to see that she's become so consistent in early rounds at GS's, where always some other top-ranked players have problems, and despite she rarely has that great results in the run-up.

Julia will play the 2nd match not before 1pm BST on Court 4 tomorrow. No show court again. :(
