French Open Preview: Day Three

ANNA CHAKVETADZE [6] v Nuria Llagostera Vives

While the big four – Maria, Ana, Jelena, and Serena – are being
touted as title-favourites, I like Anna Chakvetadze's chances of
making some noise in Paris. She is in the top half of the draw with
Sharapova and Svetlana Kuznetsova, but if her fellow Russians tumble,
she'll have a good chance of reaching the semi-finals.

Although Llagostera Vives is ranked almost eighty spots beneath
Chakvetadze, both of their previous meetings have been close and gone
to three sets.

Anna Chakvetadze in 2 sets.
