The play is Kvitova/Ammanmuradova
+119
Let's just call these two the 'Twin Towers' at 6’ and 6’3 respectively ..Both are playing
qualifiers who have played 2 matches on grass already. However, look for a smooth
transition from clay to grass with more reliance on serve from these 2 girls.
Petra Kvitova #60 -275 vs Sunitha Rao
#160 +235
6 feet tall. This teen is going to be great on grass. She’s
rising fast from about #150 at the start of the year. Beat world #8 Venus
Williams on hard surface and world #13 Agnes Szavay on clay this year. Sunitha
Rao came through the qualifiers and has 2 matches under her belt on this
surface.She has a big forehand taking after fellow countrywomen Sania Mirza.
Akgul Ammanmuradova -165 #54 vs Yaroslava Shvedova #129 +145
Ammanmuradova is moving up the rankings this year. At 6’3
she is the tallest player on the WTA. Rumor had it she was going to the WNBA draft. She needs to use that to her advantage by
serving big on this grass surface . She beat Shvedova in 3 sets on hard surface earlier this year.
Shvedova however, has 2 matches under her belt here by moving through
qualifiers as well .
