Actually, one more, I hadn't realised there were some 2nd round games being played tonight in Charleston.

Cirstea to beat Chakvetadze @ 4.4 2pts

Chakvetadze has looked out of sorts for much of this year, far from the form that's taken her into the top 10 in the rankings. In terms of win-loss ratio at least, clay could be considered her weakest surface, whereas it's most certainly Cirstea's prefered surface, with a 27-9 record for the past year, some of those coming at ITF level but she had a couple of decent runs at higher level tournaments, including a run from qualifying all the way through to the final in the Tier III event at Budapest.


Chakvetadze is obviously the favourite here, but I think she's slightly vulnerable in this match.
