Formbook shredder Anne Keothavong will aim to defy the odds again when she plays Marion in the second round of the Bank Of The West Classic on Thursday.

Just a month after being the first British woman of the century to reach the top 100, Keothavong has now taken one of the biggest scalps of her carreer, beating top 30 player Sania Mirza 76 61. Marion has never played Anne Keothavong before.

Keothavong has already played 4 matches at Stanford, having reached the main draw through the qualiying tournament.

I love my country and always want our players to do well. But when it comes to Marion my loyalties abide undivided. Sorry Anne.

GOOD LUCK MARION
