First Round Matches I've Seen: Kuznetsova Gets A Scare
Zhang Shuai is one of the four Chinese women in the Top 100 today, and gauging from how she played today, I won't be surprised if she starts to challenge the Top 50 soon enough. She gave 2-time Grand Slam champion, Svetlana Kuznetsova such a scare that the champion had to raise her level of play at different times during their 3-set competition just to fend Shuai away.
Sveta has more dangerous opponents waiting for her on her side of the draw. Potential opponents include Yanina Wickmayer, Petra Kvitova and Vera Zvonareva.
