In the 2nd round Maria will play either Shahar Peer of Israel or Vera Zvonareva of Russia. Maria has played Peer twice before and leads the series 2-0. Maria has played Zvonareva 4 times before and the series is tied 2-2 but Maria won their only meeting on clay 2 years ago at Roland Garros.

Maria has played Rome twice before and her best performance here was reaching the semis last year. Maria has beaten the last 2 Roland Garros finalists at this tournament (Elena Dementieva in 2004 and Mary Pierce last year). Rome's points came off last week so Maria can only add to her ranking.
