Well the good news is both Alicia and Nicole got reasonable draws. First up for Alicia is qualifier and for Nicole, Jill Craybas.

Wow

great to hear so both should get through to 2nd round - but knowing out luck someone will qualify and get Alicia in 1st round

Alicia has Conchita Martinez in round 2....she's beaten her before and can do it again. But Conchita is in much better form now then she was when Alicia thrashed her earlier this year. Should be an interesting match!

Nicole - I expect her to beat Jill...and hey possibly even Silvia next, just like in Oz...and then even her sock puppet Ai in round 3 Nicole could realistically make the 4th round here. But I'm not getting ahead of myself....still, a great opportunity for Nicole.

I saw that too!... and usually when I think something like that... tragedy strikes!

Both have great oppourtunites to get into the 2nd week

both Martinez and Farina Elia have been beaten by the aussie they'll face this year and hopefully once both aussies get into 2nd round that will again defeat the seedes players
