Carlsbad:
Scheepers vs. Lepchenko
[Q]Glatch vs. Petrova
Bartoli vs. King
Wow... Look at the schedule. Barely any matches are scheduled for play.Very interesting planning from the tournament.
Match focus:
Bartoli vs. King
Marion Bartoli has been struggling with her form recently. She faces a pesky opponent in Vania King in this 2nd round encounter. Vania is a double specialist who has a very good net game. If Vania can sneak into the net, Marion's chances of winning the point is slim. So Vania needs to vary her shots and always come to the net to disrupt Marion's rhythm. With her lack of confidence, an upset is very possible.
Pick: Bartoli in 3 sets
Scheepers vs. Lepchenko
2 girls with very similar games here. Both have an adequate serve and hits flat both sides. It's difficult to choose from these 2. Chanelle did well to beat Coco in her first round and will be looking to beat another American. However, the fans will be firmly behind Varvara. I expect a close and even match with the American edging Scheepers.
Pick: Lepchenko in 3 tight sets
Sure win bets: Heather Watson, Nadia Petrova
Upset alert: Chanelle Scheepers
(Bastaad has already started play so there are no matches to review.)
