FO 2012: Interesting First Round Match-Ups Women's Game

The women's side has their own set of interesting first round match-ups.  Here are my Top 5 picks -

#1 Francesca Schiavone (ITA) vs. Kimiko Date-Krumm (JPN) - a senior slugfest if ever there was one!  Both accomplished players, one a French Open champion. 

#2.  Li Na (CHN) vs. Sorana Cirstea (ROU) - If my memory serves me right, Sorana reached a quarterfinal or was it a fourth round, here in Roland Garros.  To be matched up with last year's FO champion may have been something Sorana did not want, maybe Li Na too!

#3  Lucie Hradecka (CZE) vs. Julia Goerges (GER) - Lucie was my find for this year's clay court season.  She's a very talented yet raw singles player.  Goerges is no pushover, herself.

#4 Peng Shuai (CHN) vs. Tamira Paszek (AUT) - Once in a while, Paszek shows her potential, while Peng has already shown hers. 

#5 Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) vs. Eleni Daniilidou (GRE) - Eleni has been looking for her comeback match while Caroline has not been in good form lately.
