Preview: Day 4 - 8th February
Manaseva - Bychkova
Inside Russian battle where favourite is Vensa, young player, very ambitious, and playing with big intuition. Bychkova is in quater finals with lucky after winning against mediocre Rao (150 WTA). Manaseva is going from qualification like a storm , with excellent defence and attack, good running, excellent psyche - all this will be too much against Bychkowa, which is little to heavy . Manaseva should be in semi finals.
Craybas - Klepac
Experienced American which clearly find a form , she run like a teenage, heat very solid form baseline , not bad serving and is difficult finnish her - it is too much against player which have only good serve and juicy heats from place and has no more good points. Klepac is in quater finals because she had easy draw, and winning yesterday with injured Dellaqua (knee). Today Craybas shouldnt have any problems with progress to semi finals.
Amanduradova - Chan
Akgul serving very good, by forehand she winning many exchendes, she often going to net - she feel here good and wee see that her form grow. Chan play solid tennic but without inspiration. She should give Uzbekistan many chances fro breaks , additionaly she hasnt good service. One positive for Chan is better moving on court and she should to see there her chances to throw opponent about a court, but it will be not easy - they played at last weekend in FED Cup and Akgul won 6-2 6-0!
Radwanska - Tanasugarn
It will be match of a day. Number 1 of tournament will play wth hope of the hosts, they many promises from this match. For us Tammy havnt too many chances in this match, yesterday she anonced little problems with thigh muscle, which will not help her. In this match she should many run - Agnieszka play precisly and practicly she dont make errors, and running well and Agnieszka should go to semi finals.
