This
Tuesday some of the favorites of the tournament will be in action, the
defending champion Kirsten Flikpens faces Polona Hercog, Lucie Safarova tries
to overcome Anna Tatishvili and Bethanie Mattek-Sands has a contest with
Stephanie Dubois.
Flikpens
loves to play in fast surfaces where her serve and offensive tennis is more
effective. Hercog prefers to play in clay, has a good top spin forehand and a kick
serve, but in Indoor those weapons don’t harm her opponents. This will be the
first meeting between the two and I expect a good victory from the first seed
and defending champion.
Safarova
knows very well how to play in Indoor and she showed last year in Fed Cup’s
final against Serbia. Her powerful strokes are very hard to deal with and when
Safarova is confident turns almost unstoppable. Tatishvili has been in awful
form this year and lost her last six games in WTA main draws tournaments. The
player from Georgia comes from US Open where she lost against Ivanovic 2 – 6 0 –
6. I predict an easy win for Safarova in this match against Anna Tatishvili.
The
Canadian Stephanie Dubois will take on Bethanie Mattek-Sands and the American’s
offensive game with good net skills make her a very good competitor in Indoor
Hard Court. Dubois has a very weak serve and Mattek-Sands should be able to
take advantage of that to take this match to her side. Mattek-Sands has played
very good tennis this year and has everything to get a victory here.
There are
other two interesting games today:
Melanie
Oudin vs Kristina Mladenovic
Camila
Giorgi vs Lauren Davis
This should
be a good game at Quebec with plenty of action!
