Maria gets it done. Good win for her.

This was a slight shocker... so this must be how it works, if you are a mid level player, she has issues, if you are a super low ranked player, she loses, but if you're really good and NOT named Serena, she probably will win!
Come on Lady Rafulation, you can't be that late to the party. Maria typically struggles in the beginning stages of a tournament. Isn't this her first big tournament since coming back from Sochi? She always gets up for Kvitova. Remember Kvitova denied her that Wimbledon? Champions never let you forget. She'll try to scratch Petra's eyes out every time she sees her.
