not sure what i should hope for this time, easy first opponent of course, but maybe not to easy, actually it doesn't matter that much, because she decides who wins or loses that first match, not the opponent.

Geekking · Mar 17th, 2012, 07:54 AM

This time I hope she plays her real tennis. This is the only thing that I can wish for her. Easy draw is not the solution

Please Sabs, find your form again.

Sabine is due for a big tournament, like SF or better.

moviemac · Mar 17th, 2012, 05:27 PM

Let's hope she makes it to tv matches first. Coverage is as crappy as IW. No WTA matches on tv/stream before R3.

Any news on Sabine? She hasn't tweeted in a week. I guess she has been in Florida for some time now!?

Lets hope for a good tourny for sabs

everythingtaboo · Mar 18th, 2012, 09:19 AM

I'm so scared she's gonna draw Kim in R2 or something. I want my two faves to play each other at some point... but not this early in a tournament.

Michael! · Mar 19th, 2012, 05:30 PM

Sabine will play Arvidsson or Dulko in 2nd round of Miami!
I guess it will be Arvidsson but u never know, 3rd round probably against Peng!

Well, can´t complain here again, has to blame herself if she fails again!

Jimmie48 · Mar 19th, 2012, 05:38 PM

Could have been a lot worse, if she can pull herself together she could go quite far. Arvidsson isn't bad but she couldn't even close the match against Caro so she's not exactly mentally strong.

Couldn't be any better, IMO. Should win her first two matches regardless of opponent. Round of 16 she gets Li Na. The only better option would have been drawing Wozniacki.

Miami draw:

Na Li v Bye
Alberta Brianti v Qualifier
Elena Vesnina v Iveta Benesova
Bye v Svetlana Kuznetsova

Shuai Peng v Bye
Olivia Rogowska v Qualifier
Gisela Dulko v Sofia Arvidsson
Bye v Sabine Lisicki

Peng is a very good player, don't underestimate her. She can be a potential threat.

Sofia has been playing well lately too. She isn't the easiest first opponent Sabine could have but it might be better this way. Sabine knows she has to give her best straight from the very beginning.
