This is the first and tournament of the WTA season, though only a Tier III event the Gold Coast is packed with great players all vying for the title.
The first group looks interesting, we have Nicole Vaidisova (one of my favourite players) who shouldn't find muh difficulty in the opponents in her first quartet. I'm interested to see whether Na Li is back in form as she is a great player and it was dissapointing to see her injured last year, hopefully she'll give Sybille a difficult time and be able to face Nicole in the Quarters. Patty Schnyder and Amelie Mauresmo are on the same quartet. They don't have many strong players in between them but they should watch out for them as they can prove to be difficult when in their groove. As I'm Chinese I'm routing for Zi Yan to be able to do some damage. Shahar Peer and Dinara Safina are in the next quartet and except for a possible Flavia Pennetta I don't see any problem for them. The problem with Flavia is that she has been inconsistent, I'm hoping she is on her good side this week so to begin on a high. Agnes Szavay and Nadia Petrova are in the last Quartet. This quartet has some death traps I think Julia is a very good player to start off against as she is quite tough. Both Victoria and Ai will prove a challenge for Agnes, whilst on Nadia's side we have Virginie who had a good streak of matches near the end of last year so I'm looking out for a potential upset considering Nadia's injury streak last year.
Expected Quarterfinal lineup
Nicole Vaidisova Vs. Na Li
Patty Schnyder Vs. Amelie Mauresmo
Shahar Peer Vs. Dinara Safina
Agnes Szavay Vs. Nadia Petrova
This is my prediction but I think at least two will differ.
What I want
Nicole Vaidisova Vs. Na Li
Meghann Shaughnessy Vs. Zi Yan
Julie Ditty Vs. Flavia Pennetta
Agnes Szavay Vs. Nobody
