Lara Arrubarrena-Vecino, 20 year old girl from Spain against well known Serbian player, Ana Ivanovic. IMO Ana should not have problems in this first round. Arrubarrena-Vecino already won 3 matches in qualifications and every time it was in straight sets. Still, those were almost unknown oponents. The Spanish girl simply is not level of Ana Ivanovic.

 

Ana came to France in good shape. In Madrid and Rome she was only in third round, but IMO Ana has played in nice shape and she lost both times against very tough oponents, Azarenka and Sharapova, 1st and 2nd on WTA standings. Also we should not forget the fact that Ivanovic is former wolrd no.1 and former winner of Roland Garros.

 

So, I expect easy and fast start for Ivanovic. What is good for her is fact that even in second round she will have more or less easy oponent (Dubois/ Peer).

 

My pick is under 17.5 total played games. Good Luck!
