Maybe I'll go and support Sabine. Now looking for cheap flight to Paris and a couchsurfer who can host me..

Yeah, she will have good abrasion before major tournaments in Dubai and Doha Good decision Besides, she likes fast surfaces indoor

I like Lucie but she hasn't been playing that great lately so it's definitely a winnable match for Bine. Just hopefully she isn't too sad after this weekend. It's the possible 2R match against Niculesu that worries me. I saw her give Bepa a rough time at AO a few weeks ago. Hopefully she can reach the QF and get some revenge on Sharapova!

what a tough obstacle in the 1st rd.
And Lucie loves this tourn.
A QF against Masha would be g8...

BEST OF LUCK SABINE !!!

what a tough draw for Sabine! Lucie is nothing than a tough opponent she´s like a day and a night... she can play incredible and beat whoever and also lost to whoever... second roud Jarka or Niculescu, nothing easy one but I would prefer Sabine to play Jarka... Niculescu is a very unpleasant player to play against...

LOL! Potentially BFFs meeting between Sabs & Jarka - the ball wouldn't stand a chance!!

Hopefully she will reach R3 to have her next shot at Pova

If she will keep the rising tendency against her, (almost) nothing can go wrong
1st meeting 2 games 2nd 7 games 3rd 11 games 4th ??? games ... We`ll see

Certainly would be an interesting match for me! but prefer not as I want them both to get good results.

I hope she can do R3 as well but every game is different and you can´t count like this next time Sabine can be bugled but I know what you mean but it doesn´t work like this
