Vote who will win the most games

Nancy. I will seriously question her career if she doesn't qualify here.

Good luck Shilpa, Nancy, Elizabeth & Megha. :)

Nancy will likely be double bagelled again. I think it should be between Elizabeth and Marilyn, but I'll give Danielle a small darkhorse chance ;)

Go Stacia:)

if aneta loses, :help:

I was there today! Didn't take any scores down, and with trying to be at as much of the action as possible, I don't have all of the results. However, I do have some of the winners, as well as a TON of pictures. Hopefully that will do.

What I did see:

W.Jones d S.Joshi
D.Brown d. B.Acquistipace
Tuchband d. Griffith
Fonseca d. Stein
Kojian d. Levan
Leimbach d. Trunkos (retired in 2nd set)
Barnikow d. Shumate
Wright d. Baker
Soukop d. Spacek
Luzhanska was up a set on Brengle

I'll have more on this later, as well as a link to where the pics are. I ended up with about 250 high-rez pictures (over 1MB each, the pic placed here had to be resized four times to fit under WtaWorld's maximum upload size) featuring action from ten matches.

Hope this helped, and if anyone is interested in the pics and more, just let me know here.

So Marilyn won! And Danielle came in second!

An interesting stat: For those who don't know Adrienne Green, she is a new bagel girl I guess. She was born on September 3, 1968 (making her 37 this year)

Slyde2 i would be really interested to see the pics that you took and reports on all of the matches you watched

Dani Brown ;) :D

An interesting stat: For those who don't know Adrienne Green, she is a new bagel girl I guess. She was born on September 3, 1968 (making her 37 this year)

but that was only the second time she got double bageld and has also a career win over Vanja Mikovic SCG

Wow I so would have go to that tournament if I had see the quali draw. :eek:
:(

And I missed the poll. :( But yeah, Marilyn was always going to be the favourite in this. ;)
BTW, maybe Nancy took herself off Gigmasters.com because she wants to concentrate on tennis again. :hearts:
And great to see EFY back. :)

but that was only the second time she got double bageld and has also a career win over Vanja Mikovic SCG


poor Vanja, no wonder she sucks :rolleyes:

What, Allentown is this week??? :eek:

Well, too bad. I had thought of going again this year -- I went up for a day 3 years ago -- but it's going to be really really HOT around here all week. So I'm not going to go up there to watch and suffer as I bake in the sun. :(

I would love to see the pics, and i think i am going up on thursday, i just want to see Katya a. so badly!

All righty-- I've downloaded the first 40 or so pics into an album for you to be able to see. I was going to edit through them and take only the best stuff, but I figured I'd let you get your hands on everything and pick and choose through what you like.

Here is the URL:
http://community.webshots.com/user/athletipix

Now, I went in and was able to download pics without being logged in, so it shouldn't require anyone having to sign up and/or login for anything in order to see the pics.

This is only the first batch. If there is enough interest, I will start posting the rest later today (about 200 more or so).

If you haven't used Webshots before, when you click on a pic that you like, it will give you the option to "Click Full Size". Definitely do that, as it will give you the picture in the original resolution rather than processed and shrunken down. You will see that these are at times VERY big and high resolution.

Hope you enjoy. Please please please give me feedback, not as much telling me if you liked the pics as much as if you were able to download or not. Place them here or in private PM's. And hell, if you want to tell me how much you like or dislike them, I'm here for that, too.

BTW, I am hoping (weather-permitting) to get out there for the full session tomorrow, which should be most, if not all, of the round of 32. We shall see... keep your fingers crossed for a sunny day (right now, possible rain early morning, but mostly sunny and 89 degrees through the day).

if u go tomorrow please take pics of Katya A.- i would appreciate it more than anything!
Thanks
Kutuzova

Hi, everyone-- had to leave town for a couple of days so I haven't updated anything. Before I left, I did get back up to Allentown for a 2nd day (Tuesday) and have another 200 pictures of so to show for it. I will continue posting them to the Webshots page if there is any interest. Rather than fill up the thread here with requests, I'll leave a list of players here that I got pictures of. If anyone has specific requests, please leave it for me on PM and I'll post those pics at Webshots.

Here's who I got:

Bianca Acquistapace
Diana Stein
Stacia Fonseca
Lauren Barnikow
Tetiana Luzhanska
Sarah Riske
Christina Fusano
Jennifer Tuchband
Blakely Griffith
Madison Brengle
Varvara Lepchenko
Samantha Reeves

Amy Dillingham
Petra Rampre
Judit Trunkos
Nicole Leimbach

Thanks for everyone who's left me kind remarks so far, and I'll do what I can over the next couple of days to accomodate any requests. I have anywhere from 5 to 15 pics of each player, and as I said before they are mostly all high-resolution shots.

If you haven't checked out the sample stuff yet, refer to this page:

http://community.webshots.com/user/athletipix

Also, I shot about 11 small videos during the play of several players, and I'm in the process of finding somewhere to host them. Once I have them set up, I'll get a list ready and figure a way to get access to you all.

Hope you enjoy, and keep those requests coming!

Also, if anyone has any questions about any of the above named players, feel free to ask, and I'll answer what I can.
