Celani/Quercia vs Alesiani/Caronti or Hoch/Poos

Good win Astrid :yeah:, kinda lucky she didn't have to play Dominika but a LL :)

See? :lol: I was right. :p Cibulkova not there.

itftennis.com has no records for a "Mónika Cibulkova". And even if they called an unknown player, I doubt that one unknown player would win a match 6-0 6-2

Besides, check this attached file that I printscreened from the Klosters nominated players thread, then I highlighted the important parts:

In these days Italy is also hosting a 6.000$ tournament, not valid for wta ranking. Alice Canepa, Angelika Roesch, Gloria Pizzichini, Giulia Gabba and some other good athletes are playing in Vergosa.

This is the draw (http://www.federtennis.it/pdf/singolare_vergosa.pdf)

Whoa, those are players used to good challengers, why do they bother going to somewhere that won't give them ranking? :eek:

I wonder if "Piccolini" (# 2.3 on the draw) is Katia Piccolini, a top 100 player in the 90's?

I wonder if "Piccolini" (# 2.3 on the draw) is Katia Piccolini, a top 100 player in the 90's?
She is :) .
Katia won 14 years and 6 days ago the only Wta title of her career (San Marino, 15 jul '91), but she's not so old: born in 1973, she's one year younger than Silvia Farina.
