Well, I think that Pavlyuchenkova is clear underrated here as IMO she has more chances of winning this one.
First of all I have to mentionate that these odds are influenced by the fact that the russian player had few time to rest after her today's game against Sevastova but if we look from another point of view this could also be an advantage as Pavlyuchenkova had the chance to get accustomed and feel even better the court and the conditions.
Hantuchova had one day to recover while Pavlyuchenkova will play two games in a day, this is all about here, a reason which IMO is too exaggerated as this wasn't a tough tournament, not to mentionate that Pavlyuchenkova has played easy games so far, all her wins were in straight sets and very fast, only her game against Sevastova was the most difficult and longer.
I doubt that Pavlyuchenkova should be affected in a serious way by the fact that she will have to play two games in a short time as she looked ok so far and also her physical preparation is everytime at high level.
Speaking about class I will say that Pavlyuchenkova possess a better potential which already starts to show some meaningful signs, about the difference in form I will also say that Hantuchova has been impressive so far while Pavlyuchenkova's confidence of playing have been more visible, certain here at Monterrey.
Good Luck! Posted on Mar-07-2010 at 22:35 CET |
