Tough section for Marion. But she's playing well and can beat them. Exact seedings?

And Caro and Domi will.. well one of them will be taken out!
Such a weird scoreline in that Mattek Pironkova match... no wonder people talk about tanking in tennis.

Yes I wondered about that too. With 3 sets you expect a bit of a fight. The last tournie before the USO you'd expect a bit of effort from Mattek especially.

I was surprised to see Pironkova is 44. I thought she was up in the seventies and eighties. It's the quiet ones you have to watch, as my late granny used to say.
