Sooner the better. Playing qualifying is better training than losing first rounds. She's a hot mess.

to be fair Radwanska is always the worst case scenario for a first round (and for anyone on tour).

True - she is a top 10 player so not what you want in the 1st round..however 2 years ago I think everyone would have expected this to be a routine win for Ivanovic.

Peer was down a break, then flipped a switch ans is now up a break in the first after winning 9 straight points
Her backhand right now is flawless

Peer continues to dominate up a set and a break; although Aggie is getting more into her game in the second set

[adoreorerie]

Aggie has evened the 2nd set at 4 all; they are both playing excellent tennis; Shahar has had some beautiful slides on the clay

[adoreorerie]
