The women are no strangers, having met on three previous occasions with Schiavone leading the head-to-head 2-1. However, it was the American who won their last encounter during the 2010 Fed Cup Final in straight sets. Today Schiavone was fresh for revenge and opened the day’s play as she meant to go on despite the sweltering conditions on Philippe Chatrier Court. The Italian set the pattern of the match by breaking her 19-year-old opponent in the opening game and followed it up with textbook tennis.
“[There was]a lot of adrenaline. I felt really happy to be there,” Schiavone said after the match. “That court is fantastic, because it is compact. The court is perfect. Everything is going around you and it is like when you go home and your Mum does everything for you and you feel comfortable? I felt like this.” Oudin is also convinced the Italian is a definite contender for the title. “She is serving well; she’s moving well; she pretty much doesn’t have a weakness on the clay. I can see how she won the French Open last year,” she added.
