Katarina Srebotnik didn't impressed at all in 2010 but certain here at Portoroz she has made a nice start winning in straight sets against Petra Martic. Srebotnik had enough time for preparation for Portoroz as her last tournament was Eastbourne (on grass). Preparation has been always a so important aspect in tennis and I always draw a lot of attention to that, in our situation Srebotnik as I have mentionated had enough time before this home tournament and he has already impressed with her first game here.

On the other hand Polona Hercog comes after a good period, she did looked in a quite good form recently, but lets not forget about the suraface as she has played on clay, here is hard. Hercog is not playing her best tennis on hard as clay is her most favourite surface, so from the surface point of view Srebotnik has an clear advanatage. Both players are playing at home, and there is not a favourite from this point of view but it is still Srebotnik the better player as she can play her best tennis on hard while Hercog not.

All in all, after a long period of bad results Srebotnik did impressed for the first time with a victory in straight sets against Martic, so this could be a sign for a better form. Good Luck!
