YAS Jarka Still so happy. She wasn't just playing well, but didn't get too headcasey either. I'm happy because if Maria doesnt bring it, then Jarka will deservedly win. I'd rather Maria bring it, and win pretty, than win ugly like she did in Tokyo and Beijing last year.

This. And Masha has had troubles with Jarka before. Don't like this for the first match of the season.

Yeah, 2010 Uselesspova who got slayed by Wozniacki in the 4th round of the same tournament...

Quite scared about this match-up. With Gajdosova you just never know If she starts slapping winners left and right I'll be pissed

Thank god for that belly, because how good would she be if she actually bothered to get fit?

Guys, Imagine if she would play with Lisicki, so calm down.

[PimpMePova]

Really I don't get why everyone is so worried about this match have some faith in Maria she is the number 2 in the world (ok maybe real number 3 ) I can't imagine what's gonna happen if and when she plays the likes of Serena/Azarenka/Kvitova

[TrollPova]

It must be the first tournament of the season since we're all worried about a match against Jarka

[Cosmic Voices]

Its really funny how we're worrying about her match as the no.2 ranked players vs. a player coming back from injury.
A win over Vinci is irrelevant, she was really off in the first set and we all know Masha is a great front runner. She will not lose on Monday, and I will not eat my words. If it was Masha vs Lisicki/Saffy like Vika then maybe I could understand the apprehension

[Serfpova]

It's because it's Maria and no matter how consistent she was last season or how consistent she will be in the season to come, errorpova will always haunt me.

I expect her to win, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one tough set, maybe it might go to three.

Did anyone else know Jarka's new coach was with Vika for 5 years?

LOL yes. I watched them training yesterday and I knew I recognised him

[Cosmic Voices]

Also, just a reminder



Jarka said in her conference that she is going to fight for every point - maria is an excellent player having just won the french - she has to raise her level to compete with the best

[18majors]

Gajdosova hits the ball as hard as Serena, Maria will be severely tested. On the hand, it's a good preparation for a potential Serena match.
