Heres to hoping I can be Maria's good luck charm by starting my first tournament thread.

Also for a good draw and that Maria somehow finds some form and has her best showing here so far.

I don't think it helps that the person in your avatar and sig has beaten Maria twice this year 6-2 6-4 and 6-1 6-1

Please change it

First round against Tamira Paszek AUT

She has a nice little section. Tamira hasn't played that well all year since Australia except one match in Montreal.

I like this draw. Maria will face good players but not unbeatable. Paszek doesn't play well this year,same thing for Dulko, same thing for Schnyder and same thing for Kuznetsova.

Of course,this is not an easy draw but Maria can do very well if she plays her own game
