Razanno is in the semi finals of the Eastbourne championship but grass is definitely one of her weaker surfaces. She excels best on clay and her recent success in roland garros and Madrid did help her gain some ranking points to move further up the standings. She made it to the last 16 of the French Open two weeks back and coincidentally, this is her first grass court tournament before Wimbledon. She will meet a very strong Bartoli in today's intriguing tie and going into this match, the French girl Bartoli leads 2-1 in head to head meetings.

Bartoli is world number 12 at the moment and if she does win the Eastbourne championship tomorrow, she has a very good chance to break into the top 10 standings which will give her a motivation boost. The clay season was disastrous for her and she will hope to forget it as soon as possible. I expect her to defeat Razanno in today's match and since Razanno's record shows that all but one of her defeats this year have been in straight sets, back Bartoli to win 2-0.

Pick: Bartoli 2-0 @2.20
