Aga is going to play Safina tomorrow in Stuttgart. Azarenka, Wozniacki, Lisicki are out, I guess winning on the green dirt is not the same as on red! And in Fez, Marta Domachowska, after winning two rounds, lost today to Ekaterina Makarova. No suprise here, but I guess it is good Marta finally broke out of that loosing streak!
Agnieszka never played Dinara, so it is going to be the test for both. Dinara being number 1, and Aga facing the higher ranked opponent, after not so good start of the season- in theory no pressure for Agnieszka! I am looking forward to those matches. It seems, that Aga is always facing Williams sisters, Kuzy, or some unpredictable players in the draw. She is not playing too many matches with those versatile players which make game more interesting and not so powerful and one-dimensional! I think it maybe interesting match if both will bring their A game to the court tomorrow!
It will be interesting to see, which of the young talents with that powerful, fast shotmaking will be able to adjust their game to the clay surface. So far Vica, Caro, Sabine and even Pavlyuchenkova in Fez lost to opponents which they should be bitting. Is clay more demanding and require more experience/patience/variety for the young guns to handle it? Or is it just pure luck? It seems veterans are back, with Jankovic, Dementieva, Safina, Kuzniecova, Penneta, even Bartoli winning. In that sense, even Aga is more clay court player (after winning the Istanbul last year, defeating Dementieva in the final). Cannot wait for that match tomorrow!
Go Aga!
