Maria Sharapova’s in blue (and Rafa’s in pink)

Cibulkova beat Bondarenko the Greater in three. Nadal lost his serve regularly but still won with ease. Wawrinka took his time and Radwanska the Greater cruised. Chakvetadze lost to a qualifier – is anyone surprised? Sharapova wants to “be on some island. I mean, sounds good to me... You know,with a nice cold Pina Colada and a nice cold towel they hand around at the pools.” Er if she was a mentally weak person that is.

Safina vs Keothavong – Double Bagel special for Keothavong as Safina looks hot
Yakimova vs Sharapova – The cow on ice wins but looks rusty
Pennetta vs Glatch – In a Fed Cup preview Glatch destroyed noted clay courter Pennetta
Kleybanova vs Hercog – qualifier Hercog wins big – Rezai next
Rogowska vs Kirilenko – Aussie wild card takes down Kirilenko - Bondarenko the Lesser next (the slayer of Schnyder)
Roddick vs Jouan – easy for Roddick
Bolelli vs Berdych – Bolelli gets the upset
Phau vs Chardy – Chardy beat replacement Alves
Tipsarevic vs Montanes – four sets for Tips

Rafa’s blog – “I like pink, and I specially like this outfit very much. The whole combination I find it really nice. We wear a lot of pink in Spain and I think it is a nice colour. If you look at my website it is also pink for this tournament.”

Matches to watch:
Benneteau vs Tsonga – tough for Tsonga?
Santoro vs C Rochus – you mightn’t see him play again
Ferrero vs Ljubicic – can’t believe neither is seeded
Baghdatis vs Monaco – tough opening match for both
Wozniacki vs Dushevina – one set all
Zakopalova vs Serena – revenge for Serena or another embarrassment?
Wickmayer vs U Radwanska – battle of the wannabes
Dokic vs Sprem – Dokic has won exactly one tour match since the Aus Open
Ruano Pascual vs Vaidisova – did Vaidisova look at Chakvetadze’s loss and think that’ll be me tomorrow?
