Match focus:
Anne Keothavong vs. Daniela Hantuchova
British number 1 Anne Keothavong faces Daniela Hantuchova in her first round. Daniela just came back from an injury and if there's a time to take advantage, it is now. Anne would have to keep her unforced errors low and serve a high percentage of first serves. Daniela will have to direct the balls to Anne's weaker backhand and stay mentally strong. Both players are not known for their mental strength so it will be a matter of who breaks first.
Pick: Hantuchova in 3 sets
Mona Barthel vs. Chanelle Scheepers
Mona Barthel seems to have lost her way a little, losing easily to players she's not supposed to lose to. She faces Chanelle Scheepers in her opening round and it will be a tough match. Chanelle hits flat which is suited for this surface. Mona needs to find her fearlessness and go for her shots without thinking of the consequences.
Pick: Scheepers in 3 sets
K Bondarenko (UKR) vs [2] S Errani (ITA)
French Open finalist draws Kateryna Bondarenko in her first round of Rosmalen. Kateryna is no push-over on grass as she won her only title in Birmingham about 4 to 5 years ago. (yikes!) Will Sara be suffering from a hangover? Will her claycourt game translate well to grass? I hope Kateryna believes in herself because an upset is very possible here.
Pick: Bondarenko in 3 sets
Sure win bets: Laura Robson, Marina Erakovic, Dominika Cibulkova
Upset alerts: Sara Errani, Shahar Peer, Ksenia Pervak
