No thanks. Henin is waiting for the winner of that one. I'd prefer Anne v another qualifier.

Possible R1 draws for Anne, assuming no LL places: Pous-Tio, Henin, Bally, Mattek-Sands, Azarenka, Ferguson, Schnyder, Cornet, plus there are 2 QvQ matches.

Possible R1 draws for Elena: Vandeweghe, Annie K, Manasieva. winner of Kucova-Rodionova, Mirza, Falconi, Kremer, winner of Dentoni-Hampton, Martic (for the 3rd slam in a row!) Rus, Wörle, winner of Koryttseva-Tsurenko, or a LL.

L128: Elena Baltacha WR 55 v (Q) Jamie Hampton (USA) WR 134 (her first AO)
L128: (Q) Anne Keothavong WR 118 v (Q) Arina Rodionova (RUS) WR 185

ITF show a 0-2 H2H for Anne v Arina but in both cases I'm sure the matches were against her sister! Rodionova has been one of the most impressive players in qualifying - she was in Katie's section.

Started a main draw thread with the last post too.
