The draw is out. Here's her section:

Petra Kvitova [5] - Bye
Mandy Minella - Olga Govortsova
Ayumi Morita - Qualifier
Yaroslava Shvedova [31] - Bye

Klara Zakopalova [19] - Bye
Marina Erakovic - Shahar Peer [WC]
Simona Halep - Lauren Davis
Dominika Cibulkova [12] - Bye

Maria Kirilenko [13] - Bye
Tsvetana Pironkova - Christina Mchale
Jill Craybas [WC] - Qualifier
Tamira Paszek [23] - Bye

Sorana Cirstea [27] - Bye
Anabel Medina Garrigues - Qualifier
Maria Sanchez [WC] - Qualifier
Agnieszka Radwanska [3] - Bye

Maria has QF points [250] to defend, and her draw is great until she gets to Aga. Unfortunately, she will bow out in the Rd16 this year.

Radwanska is not Williams though, it's a tough match but still a miracle could happen. I want to see at least a close three-setter.

She has to beat McFail first

You're right, one step at a time.
I'd rather want too see a match against Pironkova, anyway.

[peterlein]

yeah, finally Maria back on court!!! The "2nd offseason" is over


I hope that she is healthy, and that her shoulder is fine! I don't want yet to speak about a possible match vs. Aga. It will be tough enough to beat Tsveti or McHale first.
The following round then could be easier...Let's wait and see!

I already would be happy if she could defend her QF points from last season. DAVAI KIRI

Ok I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore.

it's the 2nd meeting between Kiri and McHale.

Maria won the R3 match at the USO in 2011 in two sets: 6:2 6:3

at Qatar this year, McHale won over Dushevina and Safarova, but she lost 6-0 6-0 against Vika in R3 then..

good luck Maria

[Iblis]

There won't be any streaming of the match, right?

[Protoss]

Not a bad draw for Maria.

Good luck Maria.

[Protoss]

Maria is on the scoreboard.

I don't know if there's live streaming though.

4-6 first set.
Shitty serve, shitty forehand, everything by now is going so bad.

[Protoss]

McHale holds for 6-4 1st set after saving a break point at 30-40. Win it in 3 Maria. The match is about 52 minutes long.
