Day 1: Australian Open Match of the Day - Wickmayer and Groth

Women's Singles - 1st Round
Yanina Wickmayer(BEL)[21]	vs.	Jarmila Groth(AUS)



A good match to open the first night session of the tournament.

These two are two of the most athletic players on the circuit.  They have only met once before with Wickmayer winning in three tough sets back in 2009.

They both have improved since then, and this should be another close three-setter.  Groth will be a bit of an underdog, but she will have the support of the crowd.  Wickmayer likes playing in Australia.

Prediction:  Wickmayer in 3 sets.

*Upset alert or Monday's play:  I don't like the matchup for Mardy Fish playing Victor Hanescu of Romania  out on Court 3.  Not sure what the state of Fish's game is right now, but he will have his hands full in this one.  I say Hanescu pulls off the upset in 4 sets.
