04:30 Lucie Safarova – Samantha Stosur

Safarova vs Stosur..I dont expect easy match,but Safarova is favorite here.

Czech girl is a great at the start of the season. At the Hopman Cup,she won Bouchard and Pennetta and lose against Serena Williams in tb-in Set 3 .. last year in Sydney she reached the quarterfinals by beating Schiavone and Wozniacki and lose against Kvitova.

On the other hand for Stosur is playing at home more pressure than an advantage. She dont have some good record at home, again lost the first match of the season in Brisbane from Lepchenko in three sets. Last season Stosur did not play this tournament.

Also, is very imprtant H2H: Safarova is much betet in the last 6 matches, Stosur took only one set!
