I agree with you, goodness only knows why they haven't put someone reliable (i.e. Naomi) in the singles!
yeah I just don't understand it, especially given the form of the 3 players. Naomi's been brilliant on slow hard and clay over the past month and has beaten several top 150 players with ease. She's been playing very smart tennis and I'd back her to beat both Anne and Bally atm. Anne's our no 1 ranking-wise but her results all year have been v disappointing apart from that good run in Tipton and the rd1 win in IW.
Not done and dusted by any means...Anne has the tendency to put in "Dementieva serving performances." Nerves could play a part and Pironkova might start to play more solidly
