Notes on above matches:
Petrova especially motivated this week I think as she was embarassed last week losing to Anna-Lena after winning 1st set 6-2. She avenged that loss big this week in Germany and as long as she keeps her head she actually has the bigger game here. She beat Amelie on clay in straights earlier this year, then retired down a break in the 3rd in Toronto on hard. Odds too nice to pass up here.
I look for Flavia to "bounce" here to use a horse racing term. I don't also think that the win over JHH is all that impressive as Justine hasn't played well all summer and really struggling with confidence I think ever since loss to Danilidou all the way back at Wimbledon.
Gasquet definitely looks to be over injury trouble and he is just the much more mature player at this point than Gael.
Flipper isn't foolin me, this is his best result in a while, but he's not ready to beat a good player in good form.
Possible couple more plays to come, still workin on it. |
