To me this is one of the harder matchups as Groenefeld's ranking is only based on 7months play (She didn't play between November 07 and May 08)

After returning she won 4 events (including 3 in a row). reached the final of another and reached 4th round of US open.

No history at all against British players (In singles anyway)

Well she did actually lose to Jane O'donoghue at Wimbledon in 2005(?). Still, it's a tough match for Bally but in her current form who knows!

Bally is on 2nd court 10 after a mens singles. Hopefully she can buck the British drop outs

Great stuff - hopefully she's got into ALG's head now and is going to have the edge.

Yes! 2 more bps!
