Mirza v Sanchez-Lorenzo
Nasdaq - Round 1

Mirza's the Indian wunderkid who made a name for herself last month by winning the Hyderabad tournament. She's a classy type with very strong groundstrokes which have seen her go 10/3 for the season. She has been troubled by ankle injuries lately but appears over the worst of it as seen in her straight sets win over the highly rated Kuznetsova in Dubai. Her opponent today Snachez-Lornzo is a competent hardcourt player who won't mind the slower conditions as she's equally at home on clay. She's had a very ordinary 6 months and a very ordinary 2005 (2-6 thus far) with her ranking dropping more than 60 places during this period. A short price but the value's with Mirza.

Mirza $1.36 generally available.
