Evgenia Linetskaya has NEVER played Lena.

[miffedmax]

Kind of scary that she's split with Momo and Zvonareva.

But I still think Lena should win. She seems happy and confident.

[Ronaldo777]

tough player for lena.but imagine linetskaya's fans opinions.''oh shit,not dementieva in the second round.damn.''

[Paco]

As we can see Evgenia is very ahrd player. I'm sure that it will not be easy match

[P.L.B.]

She is a very good player but I think Lena must win. I think she must be fully healthy after the last match

[Prizeidiot]

Well, by the looks of it, Linetskaya has been gradually improving all year. I didn't think too much of her, until you posted that record. Now I'm a little worried....

[goldenlox]

Linetskaya has moved up from #95 to #37 in less than 3 months.
She was #201 last April.
She moves well, and has power. Lena can attack her serve.

I like both of them very much. And Luis will think the same. His edge to Elena, my edge to Maggie.
Will be damn close.

anyway Maggie seems doing well this year, the only thing is she doesn't get a good draw

Go LenaD!

[Prizeidiot]

Well, by the looks of it, Magdalena has been consistent. No bad losses there. I think Elena should be able to handle her though. She looks to be struggling against the top players at this point, although she took a set of Alicia recently, so Elena should be careful.

[Shoulderpova]

What is H2H record between Lena and Maggie?

[P.L.B.]

Head to head Lena is losing 2-1:

2001 CARPET (I) R16 winner: M. MALEEVA 2-6 6-0 6-3
2001 CARPET (I) Q winner: M. MALEEVA 6-3 6-3
2002 GRASS (O) Q winner: E. DEMENTIEVA 6-2 0-6 6-1

But now she is winning 6-3 2-0. It loos good
