Re: ~Petra Martic~
Well, when you're not seed you are due to play one in 2nd round. It's a decent draw.
She avoid seed in R1 plus got one of the weakest player in R1.

Re: ~Petra Martic~
This is a good R1 draw and then at least we'll get a televised match  Seriously though, Doi can be pesky, but her results on Australian events are usually miserable. The only year in which she won a match in Melbourne was in 2011 (against Lertcheewakarn, I think) while in '10 and '12 she failed to get a win in either AO or the tournament leading into it. Of course, Petra's Australian campaigns weren't exactly stories of success either, but she did manage a QR3 in Sydney + R2 from qualies in Melbourne back in 2011, when she was ranked well outside top 100. Not to mention that Doi's season is usually comprised of many Asian tournaments as well as American ITF's, so I'm optimistic about this.
And if Petra gets into the groove, relaxes and plays for fun, who knows what can happen against Maria. |

Re: ~Petra Martic~
Also nice to see that for doubles Petra will again team up with Kristina Mladenovic (#29), just like last year. Hope they bring the goods to the court once again, cause they're defending R3. There's 280 points at stake, and even more (320) in Paris where last year she and ALG reached the finals. Of course, doubles ranking is less important, but it would be a shame to ruin it. She has just one more such large batch to defend from last year, from Wimbledon (280). Her other notable results are spread throughout the season, there's 5 of them and they hold from 70 to 200 points.

Re: ~Petra Martic~
Wow! I am glad to see croatian press has such high hopes for its players:

fortunately I think even less of them then they do of the players 
Translation of their brilliant analysis: All 3 will lose in the first round! |

Now if only they would move it to be the 4th match on the same court so that I wouldn't have to be awake at 2:30 or something... Just kidding, great news
