LL Avanesyan takes out the No 12 seed Bencic 63 26 64 Bencic has missed most of the clay season with a hip injury

Bencic started the season well and now seems to be struggling.I think her best surface is the hardcourt.She might come alive during the US hardcourts.

Tossip I did not expect Bencic to do well on clay, seeing this is her first tournament back on clay at RG, agree HC is her best surface

Garcia has been pushed all the way by Wang won the 1st set in a TB 76(4), Wang is not going away, also wind has picked up on Chatrier
Garcia will need to win this match in 3, as Wang won the 2nd set 64, as I said before Wang is not going away in this match up

 

[tossip]

I am scared for Garcia,she has a tendency of tightening up in close matches.

Schmiedlova is no slouch on clay,and Kudermetova overplayed the clay season. .

I didn't expect her to win the thing either, but a top 12 player should be able to post a R3 result even on their worst surface.

Coco Puffs takes the scenic route but gets it done in R1. FYI, Patrick is back in her box.

She has defended some points from last year.Its step by step..at least Patrick is always ready to help.

To be fair Kskate she has been out with a hip injury, and missed most of the clay tournaments, this was her first tournament back
