ANNA CHAKVETADZE (RUS)[6] vs. Nuria Llagostera Vives (ESP) – Series
tied 1:1

Talented world No.6 Chakvetadze won't be relishing this first-round
task.

A few years ago, Llagostera Vives was No.35 in the world, before
injury prompted a slump to No.686. Firmly on the comeback and in the
top 100 once again, she has been a revelation in Fed Cup play this
year, first shocking Francesca Schiavone in Naples, then spearheading
her country's charge to the final – in the absence of Anabel Medina
Garrigues – by clinching both her singles-rubbers for an unlikely win
over China in Beijing. In between, the 28-year-old bagged the biggest
title of her career - the Tier III event in Bogotá - as a qualifier.

Sure, Chakvetadze reached the semis at Rome last week, but she lost
to France's Alizé Cornet having led 6-3 3-0, and also squandered a
4-1 third-set lead over Victoria Azarenka of Belarus in her Berlin
opener. Normally a cool customer who isn't in the business of making
first-round exits at the Majors – the last time she did so was back
in 2005 – the 21-year-old Muscovite can expect to work hard to
maintain her consistent Grand Slam record today. Both previous
encounters between these two were decided in three sets; this one
might be too.
