I dont think so...

 

[jonny84]

and why not???

Flavia is on fire at the moment coming from winning a $50 K event on clay - she is playing on her fave surface and has the support of the Italian home fans. I see no real reason to why she can't do it!

 

[St.Sebastian]

In fact this is an event that any of the competing players could win... And remember that home crowd favourites often disappoint....

I love your prediction jonny84! GO FLAVIA!
