I have a really bad feeling that she's going to crash out in the second round. But I almost always have that feeling so it probably doesn't mean anything. Can't wait to see the draw and spend ages working out all of the possible ways it can fall apart for Sam :inlove:

Don't we all? :lol: We're Sam fans, it's our duty to expect she'll under-perform. :angel:

...or all the possible ways Sam can lose a match based upon the height of her opponent and how flat they can hit. :lol:

No way!!! In 2012 Sam is going to stop losing to scrubs and that's going to make all the difference... as will finally outfoxing the tall flathitters by standing a bit further back and mixing up her shots so they can't get any rhythm against her. I can't wait for 2012. Bring it on!!!!
:cheer:

I keep my expectations low to avoid disappointment. But I secretly also want her to win that golden slam :D



Sammy beat Yakimova in 2005 comfortably on carpet - and she is only 5"5' so I think that's a pretty good first round match up.

Might be a good chance to get a win over Clijsters. I would hate to see the vitriol in GM in the lead up to a Sam-Serena rematch.

Here is the entire draw. Sam is clearly in the half of bloody death. Potential second round match up with Safarova is dangerous.

(1)Stosur v Yakimova
Benesova V Safarova
Ivanovic v Paszek
Halep v (5)Clijsters

(4)Williams v Scheepers
(wc)Dellacqua v Jovanovski
Q v Czink
Hantuchova v (8)Cibulkova

(6)Jankovic v Suarez Navarro
Zakopalova v Q
Voskoboeva v Q
Pervak v (3)Schiavone

(7)Pavlyuchenkova v Hercog
Q v Kanepi
(wc)Rogowska v Zahlavova Strycova
Peer v (2)Petkovic

Sam could beat a Belgian and then Serena and lose to Schiavone in the final :cheer:

Brisbane is on SevenTwo?! Anyone know about the AO and Sydney?

I guess it's time for me to buy a set top box.

EDIT: Benesova beat Safarova, which I think is better for Sam.

I like the blue tracksuit. Not such a fan of the dress but it might grow on me.
