1. Clay is her best surface. 109-65 since 08
2. 22 yrs old and has low career winnings, she comes from a poor
background (see wiki) .. very hungry young player.
3. Has beaten Zakopalova. 2010 Bogota on Clay.
4. two losses to Zako but with a won set and a tiebreaker.
2010 and 2008.
5. She is more mature player now. Going for her 5th straight win
all on Clay. Meanwhile in her last match, Zako had problems with
Annika Beck who ranks 142 and is only 18. Lost a set to her. Even
with all her experience. It could mean she has a problem with her
left thigh, it's a listed injury from just last week.

I like to take players who haven't earned a lot of dough
because they are out there bustin ass to make a living.
while Zako has already made hers in a long career
and is married to a Czech footballer.
Young and Hungry Mariana Duque-Marino +265
and she shares my birthday.

the match is at Bastad listed first.
Mariana was born in Bogotá, Colombia, on August 12th, 1989. When she was just five years old, she started playing tennis for the first time. She started playing junior tournaments, and in 2004, she began competing on the ITF Tour. She is right-handed and is coached by Alejandro Pedraza. She enjoys listening to music and shopping in her spare time. Her favourite surface is clay.

Like this play ... Still deciding whether to throw a little on Marino myself.

Zako could still be struggling with that thigh. She didn't look too strong
in the last match and Marino is in the zone.
I'm not "calling it" as in saying it WILL happen
but I don't see any reason at all why it won't either
outside of Zako having the pedigree.

I think Zakopalova takes this in two... but what do I know?

Lol 6-0 first set. Just didn't work out today.

[Zacharrr]

tailed and failed.

[tevari]

What a beatdown.

[Snowball]

guys just like beefcake posted - this was just an unlucky bad beat.
Marino learned she will represent her Colombia in Olympics when
Kanepi pulled out for injury.
The whole premise of my pick went out the window as soon as
Marino heard she was going to London.
She did not play to win. She played to get immediately to London.
