Indian Wells 1R Showdown: MOLIK, Alicia vs. REZAI, Aravane

Vote and discuss.

Alicia!!

Once again this year... bad draw for Rezai! She gave a good fight against Schnyder in her last match... hopefully she can finally win a match this year, as she faces an unseeded player (first time this year??). But Molik is far from an average player, so i really dont know about this one.
I like Molik's chances but i'm hoping Aravane of course!

Alicia.

Molik is coming back on form, so I say she beats Carvane in 3 close sets.

Alicia

Molik, 7-5 6-4.

molik played pretty well vs. justine last week (actually very well in that second set)
molik in 3

molik , 6-4 6-2

Alicia :)

I hope Alicia wins ;)

But I think Aravane would win 6-4 2-6 6-4

Rezai hasn't had much a year so far has she? (took a set off Patty last week)

Molik in three sets.

Molik in three!!

Difficult to say. Both have been inconsistent this year. :)

Rezai would really need to reign in the unforced errors to have much of a chance. If Alicia is playing near the level she was against Justine I don't see her losing. Plus this surface should suit her game.

There is actually a good chance for Molik to make a big run here. No players she can't beat in her draw. Tough players but not unbeatable.

Aravane has the ability to hit Ala off the court but is not patient enough and will make XX errors again. Ala in 2 relatively easy sets.

:yeah:

Rezai can indeed hit Alicia off the court but her return is very shaky. And if Alicia is having a good serving day, she won't really get the chance to attack much besides in her own serving games. I say Molik in two tight sets but I wouldn't mind seeing Rezai win.

Go Alicia!

rezai in 3

alicia in str8 sets

Molik in 2 sets.. 7-5 , 6-2.. Shes just too good

Alicia 6-4 6-1

Molik has been improving with every match she plays. I think she will win.

Alicia in two sets i think. I hope she does well here. I have a good feeling.

Alicia 6-1 7-5...no contest

Maybe the only interesting match in Round one. :mad:

Only chance Arvane has is that she has to be ON! Less errors and Alicia should play the way she played in Bangalore :O

Else Alicia wins 6-4 6-3

I give edge to Alicia

Alicia in 3 sets

Molik is starting to play her way back into form. She's been playing some good tennis. Hopefully, she'll keep it up.

Molik in 2. Aravene has been very inconsistent so far this year.

If Aravane manages to return Alicia's serve, she will probably win this. She really needs a victory like this, I hope she will do something :)

Rezai didn't impress me last week so if Molik is on should win.

Rezai could win this match but she's so inconsistent, she can play brilliant and just after a sec she miss all the easy balls, you never know with Aravane. Alicia should play her game, make Aravane run and that should be enough to win.

Molik 6-2,2-6,6-3

Alicia should win ... :)

Go Aravane!

Molik

Aravane will win...
6-4;1-6;6-2

Molik.

Alicia in either two tough sets, or three sets. I don't think it will be an easy match, and Aravane definitely has her chance to win this one too.
