I feel like keeping throwing darts in Rome. This is the second big clay warmup tourney for RG. I gotta say it will be exciting to see Serena back in action. Halep might be waiting for her in the QF, that should be a glorious match. Aza will also be playing assuming her injury in Madrid is not serious. The conditions should also be closer to those expected @RG, namely the courts should be slower at sea level. So let's see how it goes. I think I will be very lucky to break-even this week.
As for the program tomorrow, I cannot say I am excited by these matchups, but why not throw some darts anyways ?
Ana -3.5 for 0.5u. Yeah, she has been flaky but she is going against Pav, who is not exactly a steady player herself. The surface should be more suitable for Ana and the h2h is pretty favorable. Ana will also have to defend a lot of points @RG.
Begu o20 for 0.5u. Begu is pretty darn good on clay and Gasparyan is hitting her sophomore slump. But still, the total is quite low for a match involving Begu, and I think Gasparyan can stretch at least a set.
Schiavone 1st set 0.3u@+180. Amazing to still see her playing at a high level. Just a long-shot for fun. Lucie might drop a set here against the wily veteran.
GL dudes. Any input would be appreciated, as usual.
