First round of Paris and this looks like a tight match on paper.

Georges is firstly a clay court player but has had decent sucess on indoors hard surface. She had a breakthrough year in 2010. and  even better last season. This year she showed some decent form in the Australian open, where she got to the 4th round and playing a great match against Kvitova in the Fed Cup after that.

Peer results a re a bit misleading. In Hobart she should've lost to Jones in the 2nd round but the youngster choked. Than Chakvetadze looked to have her number in the next match but retired because of injury, so she found herself in the semi final where she lost to Wickmayer in straight sets. The poor play continued in the Australian Open where she exited in the 2nd round and hard is supposed to be her best surface.

With Goerges better form on the start of the season I can see one winner here. The H2H is 1-0 in Goerges favor, although that was played on clay where you'd expect her to win.
