There isn't an easy draw but Maria Sharapova is not in a great shape so if she can win against Golovin everything is possible.

Davai Maria

I don't think many believe she can beat Tati but it's really not impossible. Good luck Maria just please play the best you can. All my faves in the same section

[Kirilenko_Kamp]

Makiri should be well rested by now since she had early exits in the two recent tourneys (Kremlin Cup & Japan). Her batteries should be fully recharged and I think she's eager to prove that the finals in Kolkata & Hansol weren't flukes. If Makiri can keep her winning form in the aforementioned tourneys, she's got a winning chance against Tati. A Big Masha vs. Little Masha match would be greatly anticipated! Good luck Makiri! Go for your shots, play each point as a match point, NEVER accept defeat, and FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

[Rod the Bama]

Very interesting first round matchup for Makiri against Tati. I hope that she`ll regain the good form she showed over in Asia recently.

[Sharapower8]

I hope she'll play against Masha ! Goood luck lil' Maria

[only_one_maria]

No reason why she can't beat Golovin. Should be a close match.

I hope the court is faster than the one in Moscow. Msha will prefer that.

[Topspin2]

MaKiri good luck against Golovin!

[Nikkiri]

If she's able to beat Tati, Ana Ivanovic awaits since Sharapova withdrew. Good luck Masha

[Natash.]

Come on Masha! You have quarterfinal points to defend.

Davaï Maria !!

maria lost 3/6 4/6...hope this will not destroy the good fighting spirit she had lately...hope this deosn't mean that she is back in her bad loss spiral...

[Topspin2]

Masha

[only_one_maria]

It's very disappointing to see Masha lose 4 matches in a row. However Golovin has had some good results of late, so I'm not going overboard on her.

I followed the match and the scores suggested she played better as the match went on. She really needs to start matches all guns blazing. It's no good finding your feet in the 2nd set against a top player.

Ohh

mashaa!

Maria.
