WWW: AO R2 [14] Maria Sharapova vs. Virginie Razzano

:confused:

Razzano still seems a bit rusty, but this could be interesting if she plays well.

This could get really ugly if Maria serves like crap.

I'll say Maria, because I think it's going to be an dogfight type of match where she wills a victory. If Razzano serves well she could be in with a shot.

Hopefully Razzano...Go Virginie!! :cheer:

Virginie has a good record vs top players, here's a chance for her to show she's back!

Masha 0-6 0-5 0-40 RET.

Masha need to serve well

Virginie will humbly take the beating from Mighty Masha.

Maria to win 6-4, 6-2

razzano in 2 :awww:

Masha 6-2 6-2, not losing a single point on serve :rocker2:

Kanepi won, Venus looks okay. This is not an easy section of the draw.
I think Maria can win round 2, but she has to start playing better to get anywhere this AO

Maria 6-2 6-1

Maria in 2 sets

Fortunately, another beatable opponent. Sharapova in 2.

Seeing Sharapova like this is painful and I'm not even a big fan of hers.No serve, all struggle.I miss that fierce teen that didn't care who was on the other side of the net. But it's always easier when climbing up the ranking.

If Masha can serve well, then a comfortable straight sets win. If Masha serves shit, then its a tough 2 set win :shrug:

If Razzano is anywhere near her best she'll give Sharapova trouble at the moment.

If they both play like they did today then Razzano will win. Maria will have to play better to win this match because Razzano will look to really attack Maria's serve. Not really sure about this one but I went with Razzano in 3.

Razzano loves a flat ball, she can routine Pova if she is on her game.

we've heard this a round before too:yawn:

Erm no? I never said Tammy could Sharapova :yawn: Unless you are talking about both Tammy and Razzano liking a flatter ball, well thats not my fault.

Virginie Razzano will win in 64 63

I'm not too sure about this. Razzano isn't a scrub and can hang quite well with big hitters.

Sharapova in straights, with one tight set.

Virge!

we've heard this a round before too:yawn:

I know, it seems that someone doesn't want a meeting vs Venus:lol:

I am not particularly keen on them to meet; if Vee reaches the R4, I dont want her to win the match with a 6-2 6-2 score again. I would rather it be agaisnt some competitive opponent, so she can be prepared for her QF.

:worship::worship::worship: your funny

Mash in 2. I have a bit more confidence in her now after seeing her determination VS Tammy.

So you don't want Venus to beatdown Maria, it's hard to believe. And yeah, you better say if not when because Petkovic is still there.

Maria in 2

Masha Fierce in 2! 6-3, 6-1!:cheer:

Maria, hopefully.

if Maria play like today then Razzano will have a chance to win!

Allez Virginie :cheer:

If Razzano is able to walk around the court faster than TT was, there is a chance. Being able to run, will increase that chance - outside chance. Sharapova 1.2 / Razzano 6.0

Virginie in 3.

if Maria play like today then Razzano will have a chance to win!

Actually No. Maria's Match today was quite impressive, she was hitting really well from the baseline and all the errors she commited where during her 3-1 2nd set passage, she lost her concentration. That's it. Obviously, Tamarine had great shots from baseline in certain points and Maria was able to run all over the baseline and Tried with some efficiency to win it.
On the other hand, Vesnina did give this match to Razzano. After winning the first set, the Russian was just like absent... She lost all her confidence... Don't know why...

To finish, for ones who think Virgine like hard hitters, I remember a match against Wickmayer at the US Open when she was at her top level, she couldn't do anything. And I don't think Wickmayer hits harder than Maria does.

I would go for Maria in 2.
