Approach remains the same

Well, yesterdays approach to matches was quite fun, even thou It lacked depth, but since, I'm late I'll do it like that again.

1.00 Ivanovic - Kvitova - Ivanovic leads H2H 3-0, but Kvitova would definitely love to show that things changed from 2009 to now. If I take Kvitova's big possibility to have a massive weakness for a short time into account I must say Kvitova 2-1.
Update: Kvitova wins 2-0.

3.00 Murray - Kukushkin - Is Lendl Andy's lucky charm? But Kukushkin here plays a very underdogish role, while he shouldn't be so underestimated. He took the set from Murray in Brisbane when he was at his best, winning a tournament, he can do it again, but Murray to win it in the end. Murray 3-1 with a tight start.
Update: Very easy from Murray, 3-0.

3.00 Nishikori - Tsonga - Nishikori surely knows how to come from behind. Was 2-0 against Ebden and in almost "walking dead" mode, also set and almost another down against Benneteau. Surely he can't allow himself to go deep behind the Tsonga, because the comeback will be hard or close to impossible. Tsonga to take it 3-1.
Update: Well, he managed to make another injured comeback and whipped Tsonga out. Tsonga was very unconfident that day.

3.00 Errani - Zheng - I don't get all the hype about Zheng winning this match. They are almost the same on all stats for last year and while I watched both progressing from 1st round to here, I really can't make a call who should be favourite here. I think Errani has both, defensive game and she can hit the ball when needed, Zheng's style is a quite similar and a bit more aggressive, but tends to do a bit more mistakes. This can't be one-sided match. I'll go for Errani 2-1 and over 28 games.
Update:  Easy for Errani 6-2, 6-1.

5.00 Gasquet - Ferrer - Definitely the match of the day. Gasquet was just amazing vs Tipsarevic, who never really get close to him. His recent matches went ok too, and his backhend, well, that is...supernatural when in form, which currently is (or at least was in last match). Ferrer had a couple rough matches, with Sweeting almost taking him the match. Ferrer with his weak serve will definitely struggle more on her serves and will need to fight to the limits to get this match. Gasquet 3-2.
Update: Gasquet has played defensive game and it was all about Ferrer dominating the game. Ferrer 3-0.


5.00 Makarova - Williams - Makarova will surprise Williams from the start and take first set away from her. Then she'll probably become affraid of winning and switced to lower gear. Williams to end it at the end with 2-1.
Update: She won not just 1st, but 2nd set too.

9.30 Lisicki - Sharapova
- In form in which Maria is, this will be no contest and a straight set winner for Sharapova.
Update: Lisicki took first set, then Sharapova has taken the control and win quite easy in 2nd and 3rd.

11.30 Djokovic - Hewitt - Hewitt can get a set if Djokovic will ease of a bit, but Djoko is cool as ice, when dealing with difficult situations or getting from the back to win the game. Hewitt can take the first set, Djokovic all the other 3, even thou 3-0 more likely then 3-1.
Update: Djokovic 3-1.
