Is Amelie vs. Justine the first match in the Red Group?! Oh my, what a match!

Momofan, I’ve not seen the specific order of play for Tuesday, but Amelie and Justine are listed as the first round robin of the yellow group.
The yellow group is more intriguing to me than the red - Justine vs. Amelie, Martina vs. Amelie - — talk about dramatic matches.

The only player our of the top 8 I wouldn’t really give much of a chance at finishing in the top 2 of their group is Dementieva. Other than that, it is anyones game as far as I am concerned.
I am still sticking by my original tips however of Sharapova defeating Clijsters in the final

I’m hoping Kim gives Shriekie a drubbing… likewise Amelie and Hingis (and you KNOW which way around I mean that!!)
In a recent interview - I don’t have the original URL, but there’s a transcript here:

It’s the last post on the page.
Amelie says her shoulder is only at 60% - ouch.
Sending good thoughts her way.
