Go Teodora

Thassha and Montinee in the same quarter! :sad:
Good luck!

Go Teodora
descover your real talent like ANA IVANOVIC did in 2003, playing this tournament.

history of youngsters sweeping through these asian circuits

2003 - Ivanovic
2004 - Gajdosova and Ferguson did pretty well
so far 2005 - Dellacqua, Erakovic and Fuda

Good luck to Leanne and Monique:)

Best of luck to Leanne and Francesca. :D

All I know is I am ill thinking about Mi-Ra's ranking if she continues her losing streak at this tournament. It's hard to believe she nearly beat Ana Ivanovic here last year. :shrug:

Best of luck to her though, I still have faith.

my seniments exactly, ivanovic is obviously a great player by her skyrocketing up the rankings and mi-ra nearly beat her! i think if jeon keeps this up ill cry, she can be sooo good if she just believed! it pains me to think her ranking could fall even further :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

If you read some of her responses to tennis in her cheering thread it becomes apparent that she is probably a very emotional person. She seems distracted with other things in life right now. It's a shame she just didn't get the right support early on in her career, because it's obvious she is talented. My heart breaks when she loses these tough matches, a 0-6, 0-6 loss to Granville this year, and her 8-6 in the third loss to Edina Gallovits at Wimbledon last year in particular. It seems her confidence is very fragile. Last year she rolled into the SF of Changwon, and lost just 2 games prior and then when crashing out to Mi-Ok in the next round. :sad: I pray her luck changes here.

Emily Hewson AUS vs Marina Erkovic NZL.
Erakovic leads head to head 3/0.
6 March 2005 WARRNAMBOOL GRASS (O) R16 M. ERAKOVIC 6-4 7-6(8)
13 March 2005 BENALLA GRASS (O) SF M. ERAKOVIC 4-6 7-6(1) 7-6(4)
20 March 2005 YARRAWONGA GRASS (O) F M. ERAKOVIC 6-3,4-6,6-4.
Played doubles together last week. Should be an interesting match - too good for a qualifying match.

(2)Daniella Dominikovic AUS vs Maika Ozaki JPN
Never played.
Ozaki has beaten only 10 other top 400 players since joining tour in Nov 2001.

(wc)Mari Inoue JPN vs Christina Horiatopoulos AUS
Never played.
Inoue has beaten only 4 other top 600 players since joining tour in Nov 2001.

(4)Lauren Breadmore AUS vs Francesca Lubiani ITA
Never played.
Fran is having an awful year in singles, still has a good record against Aussies though. I have a bad feeling Loz is going to lose this one!

(3)Monique Adamczak AUS vs Cassandra Barr AUS
Never played.
Will be an interesting one. Barr has good form coming into this match. Mon is much higher ranked but lacking match play. Wouldn't be surprised to see Cassie cause an upset!

(wc)Kasumi Aiko JPN vs Leanne Baker NZL
Never played (Aiko has never played a non-Asian player!)
Since starting in March 1998 she has won 4 qualifying matches in challengers & two $10k MD matches. Has played 1 tournament outside of Japan (Korea in 1998).

(wc)Marie Yamabe JPN vs Lisa D'Amelio AUS
Never played.
Saved the best til last! If Lisa doesn't get at least one 6-0 set - I'll eat my hat! Yamabe's 1st match in 2 years - Gifu is the only tournament she's ever played! Has never won a set in singles or doubles, in the 4 singles matches played she has only managed to win 6 games. In the 3 doubles matches she's ever played, has only managed to win 7 games! Last time she played singles Adamczak flogged her 6-0,6-0! Lisa will probably do the exact same!

Thanks for the report dittman fan, much appreciated

ditto that good luck soph ferguson in singles and then again in doubles with dani d! pre-emptive :banana:
ps. does anyone know why hanamako didn't count for points??

hamanako did count for points is wont be added until next mondays rankings though, all 25,000 & 10,000 events are added a minimum of one week following the conclusion of the event! so on Monday points for hamanako and gifu will be added together, i think! lol

Gooooooooo Casey good chance to open up your section their if you can beat Obata who has struggled somewhat this year and has been very up and down so hopefully you can meet her on one of her down days.

No Trudi in doubles???????? Hope she does well in her singles! Hope her and Casey are still going to try and make a permanent doubles partnership, Casey/Tongsalee is a strange pairing and i would say the hardest opponents first up tomorrow in round one! would have prefered casey to play with adamczak but good luck

Sophie, hopefully she can do a bit better this week than what she did in hamanako, hopefully erakovic lands up with fujiwara in r1 so she is on other side of draw, if soph played like she did here last year she is capable of beating just about anyone in the draw, would love a casey vs sophie quater final!! i need to prove a point!! lol

Bad day for aussies in singles qualifying except Mrs consistency herslef, Lauren hopefully she can qualify and hopefully will draw anyone but Fujiwara in her opening round.

The sexiest team in the tournament Dani D & Sophie - Plz qualify sorry lisa and hori!
Good luck also monique and daja - nice to see both of you back playing together, oooh the potential these 2 have if only they could get injury free and mentally tough!

Monique :rolleyes: :( pffft

Is Rika planning on playing every fucking week?:rolleyes: 14th tournament of the year (plus one week of Fed Cup). She's got one other tournament before she heads to Europe, then the French Open, then Surbiton, then Birmingham, then Eastbourne, then Wimbledon...she's out of her mind.

She must really want to make it into the top 100 or something, but winning 10 points per week isn't going to get her there. :( Geez. Perhaps she loves this surface so much she couldn't pass it up. Dump the 25Ks at least Rika!

Do your best THAI girls (Viratprasert,Tongsalee and Tangphong)!!!!!!!

Horrible draw for Tiffany....good luck babe!

Yes Rika plays a ton of tournaments but it's not like she's playing a lot of matches in every tourney...most timesd it's just a couple....a few matches a week is not that strenuous....

oh shit karen :sad:

not again :sad: :sad: please be okay

apparently karen's injury may be a reoccurance of the groin/tear pull that she had problems with last autumn.

someone posted somewhere that she hurt it again in pratcice out in mexico, and maybe just felt it twinge in the second set here and felt it best not to risk anything, especially seeing as she was on her way to a loss.

hopefully nothing 2 serious and a few days rest and some physio will have her back feeling fine!

Casey Dellacqua :rocker: :rocker:

AUS & NZ 2nd Round Match Up's:

Lauren Breadmore vs Ayumi Morita.
Morita's only just turned 15, playing in only her 3rd tournament (1st was in Nov 2004). She beat Sophie Ferguson 1st round (just). I give Loz more chance than Sophie. Loz is match tough & has the results on the board of late. Will be a tough match.

Marina Erakovic vs Saori Obata:
Obata easily beat Casey Dellacqua 1st round. Casey was probably still suffering the effects of the neck problem that put her out of the final last week. Marina has the talent to win this in 3 sets.

Leanne Baker vs Yan-Ze Xie:
Xie beat an unranked player 1st round. Leanne seems to have the form behind her (beating Fujiwara in 1st round, after qualifying). I'm hoping for a str8 sets wins for Leanne.

Go Saori (This should be her tourney), AYUMI!, Yan-Ze, Napaporn, Yuka, Shiho, Aiko, Mi-Ra, Yung-Jan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
