Since the schedules are not announced yet, I shall go ahead and pick some matches and try to pick the winners.
Pattaya:
Luksika Kumkhum vs. Maria Kirilenko
Local hope faces a tough task of facing 2nd seed, Kirilenko in her 2nd round. Kirilenko is a steady player and will be the perfect player to beat someone with such a high risk game like Luksika. Kumkhum needs to control the rallies and make very few errors to come out as the winner. Playing in her home country, Kumkhum might sneak a set, but I suspect Kirilenko will be too steady for the inexperienced teen.
Pick: Kirilenko in 2 sets
Paris:
Lucie Hradecka vs. Tamira Pazsek
Paris is played on a fast indoor court and it will definitely favour the huge serve of Lucie Hradecka. Against someone who's serve is non-existent like Pazsek, I expect Lucie to cruise in this match. However, knowing how mentally frail the Czech can be, I'm sure she will make things difficult for herself.
Pick: Hradecka in 2 tight sets
Sure win bets: Sabine Lisicki, Daniela Hantuchova, Lucie Safarova
Upset alert: Petra Kvitova, Tamira Pazsek, Marina Erakovic
