Interesting 2nd round match ups :

| All Christina McHale's determination in 1st round (Melbourne, Australia) |
ERAKOVIC Marina (NZL) vs MCHALE Christina (USA)
A tough second round between two youngsters who shined last year and are still waiting for a big breakthrough. The american seems nowadays steadier and most of all, more consistant than the Kiwi who can overwhelm anyone like she did against Victoria Azarenka last year in Stanford and can also lose to anyone. I'd favor McHale to prevail in two tight sets or three sets.

| Victoria Azarenka's firepower in that forhehand (Melbourne, Australia) |
Not that evident a second round for Victoria Azarenka one of the bookmakers' favorites ! She's facing the Aussie, Casey Dellacqua who is coming back from injury and being really convincing from a match to another. We know that Casey love to do well in front of home crowd and I guess she could cause Azarenka some troubles, but the belarus should prevail in three tight sets
LISICKI Sabine (GER/14) vs PEER Shahar (ISR)
Interesting match between two talented players but that got quite opposites game. While Shahar Peer will try to push away her oppenent, Sabine Lisicki is the kind of player who goes for her shot and got a terrific serve and forehand. Lisicki had a lot of trouble in the first round to get rid of Stefanie Voegle and showed some physical issues and the Israliean could use that but I guess Sabine knows Shahar well and knows that she won't be allowed to repeat the same poor performance. Thus, she should prevail in two sets.
DOKIC Jelena (AUS) vs BARTOLI Marion (FRA/9)
Interesting match up a week after their Sydney meeting where Marion Bartoli won 6/0 6/3. I don't think it will be the same at all in this match. Jelena Dokic always loves to do well in Melbourne and she usually does. She's got a terrific power off both wings and Marion seemed a bit rusty against Virginie Razzano in the 1st round. As I love taking risks, I can see Dokic, pushed by home crowd, making the upset and prevailing in three tight sets.
