I'm taking both matches at Rod Laver Arena today with Stosur & Pospisil.
A lot of bettors are riding on Pironkova's recent success but I'm not convinced. I've seen this chic played many times through the years and she is not that good on hardcourts as many believe. Sure , she had a really nice run this past month in taking the title at Sydney , however, I'm expecting her to return to the mediocre subpar form of recent years in her match with Stosur. Stosur is a savvy veteran that knows how to play well in these conditions and with a heavy home crowd backing her as well , Pironkova will be toast.
On the second match in Rod Laver arena, I'll be going with the canadian Pospisil. There's been reports that Pospisil mentioned about not being 100% healthy but I'm not buying into it. Even if he wasnt 100%, it doesnt take much to beat Ebden. I think Ebden will be physically and mentally fried from his grueling five setter with Mahut. Pospisil has a strong service game that will give him many easy points thus he wont be exerting much energy during his service. Ebden on the other hand , will have to craft out some long grueling rallies. The heavy home crowd won't be enough for Ebden, Pospisil all the way.
Best of Luck
