I can't believe nobody's made a thread for this tournament yet, so here's one.

Here's Maria's quarter in singles:

(5)Samantha Stosur (AUS) v Petra Martic (CRO)
Sofia Arvidsson (SWE) v Christina McHale (USA)
Monica Niculescu (ROU) v Qualifier
(10)Vera Zvonareva (RUS) v Petra Cetkovska (CZE)

(16)Maria Kirilenko (RUS) v Jie Zheng (CHN)
Ekaterina Makarova (RUS) v Galina Voskoboeva (KAZ)
Shuai Peng (CHN) v Qualifier
(3)Petra Kvitova (CZE) v Marina Erakovic (NZL)


Here's Maria's quarter in doubles:

(4)Kirilenko/Petrova v BYE
Erakovic/Niculescu v Hercog/King
Kuznetsova/Radwanska v Medina Garrigues/Parra Santonja
Kops-Jones/Spears v (7)Shvedova/Voskoboeva


I think Maria has an ok singles draw so hopefully she can win a couple of matches there.

Good luck in singles and doubles Maria.

head 2 head is still 5-2 for zheng, so it's gonna be difficult, but kiri already won against her this year in doha..
