Laura plays Rybarikova apparently, and Anne Vesna Dolonts. Good news, I think.
If you got that from one of my tweets and are wondering why it's not on any of the drawsheets, I got it from Tuesday's OoP on the tournament site.
Anne has a 2-1 H2H against Dolonts, who is well off her CH of last year but a word of caution - Anne's two wins came in 2008, Vesna's was their only previous clay court meeting at RG last year, though it was close.
Hev's really not having a good time against Birnerová, is she? 2-6 1-2*

different clay courts play differently. maybe she just needed some time to settle into these ones from estoril. or perhaps she just figured out her opponent. all speculation of course.
