Kerber is having a good start of the year (2 semifinals and a loss to Sharapova in R3 AO) and showed very good play vs. Safarova in the 1st round.

Niculescu... not so much. Also R3 of AO (loss to Woz) and won the 1st match here, but Gajdosova was kind of lethargic and I wasn't really impressed by Niculescu's performance.

Kereber should win and the price looks correct. Maybe a small back for starters.

I will be really happy if slice girl sneaks the first then go large on Kerber

What is this tosh!?

There is no way on this court that Kerber should be troubled by Niculescu.

Kerbers power alone should be enough to win this, so many UE's and so early!

Report stockinho. • February 9, 2012 3:00 PM GMT

kerber gifted 2 games to niculescu, should be 4 1 now for kerber

Report Marin1977 • February 9, 2012 3:00 PM GMT

What is there to read? The match is on Kerber's racket, Niculascu is just here to retrieve balls.

Report lolodecroix • February 9, 2012 3:02 PM GMT

yeah...thats right...

Report stockinho. • February 9, 2012 3:05 PM GMT

61 kerber is the correct score here

Report mercs • February 9, 2012 3:05 PM GMT

kerber is scary, if she can sort out the UE and get a bit fitter, she could trouble the top players regularly... that break was easy, even for the women's game!

Again fantastic price on Nicu

pile on!

Should be but Kerber can always brainfart a bit, she knows Nicu cant hurt her so...

Just like most other WTA players! Nothing to worry about!

Report tenniso • February 9, 2012 3:13 PM GMT

the only way Niculescu is going to bother her opponent is if Kerber gets frustrated by a barrage of Niculescu non-textbook shots (that her coach should be shot for)

There isn't anything to worry about (If she wants to stay were she is).

To improve she will need to improve movement and fitness!

Wake up.

Yes! But for her to improve she would have to care about it.

She isn't unfit!! To be better she could improve on her fitness (losing some weight) that will improve her movement even more.

Report tenniso • February 9, 2012 3:28 PM GMT

she lost 4-5kg I think since last summer

Report Marin1977 • February 9, 2012 3:30 PM GMT

Kerber will have a huge year unless she gets injured. Good early results, has game, has good attitude (allowing for brain farts which pretty much all of them have).

Report hollywood85 • February 9, 2012 3:31 PM GMT

Kvitova is also no fit and she's at the top... It can improve your tennis level but it will not make miracles

"mercs there is nothing wrong with Kerber's fitness"

she's in better shape than last year and was great in the US open, but i just don't think she can last a tough three setter yet. she's not fat by any means, but also when you compare her to some of the top 10 players, you can see where she has to be...

it will come and yes i agree, top year for her if she stays injury free...

Vs Niculescu in the second match of a indoor tournament isn't when she will be tested, although she was shocking in the second set.

Niculescu was never supposed to pose any threat on the match but she has by out maneuvering her.

Do you not think that if Kerber was even a slightly bit fitter and in better condition she would of got to more balls in time and Niculescu wouldn't of had so much success in moving Kerber around?
