Clermont-Ferrand (Auvergnat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auvergnat_language) dialect of Occitan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitan_language): Clarmont-Ferrand / Clarmont d'Auvèrnhe) is a city and commune (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commune_in_France) of France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France), in the Auvergne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auvergne_%28region%29)region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_France), with a population of approximately 140,000 (2005). Its metropolitan area had 409,558 inhabitants at the 1999 census.
It is the prefecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefectures_in_France) (capital) of the Puy-de-Dôme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puy-de-D%C3%B4me)department (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_France). Serge Godard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Godard) is the current Mayor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_Clermont-Ferrand) of the city.
Clermont-Ferrand sits on the plain of Limagne (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Limagne&action=edit) in the Massif Central (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massif_Central) and is surrounded by a major industrial area. The city is famous for the chain of volcanoes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanoes) surrounding it, the Chaîne des Puys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cha%C3%AEne_des_Puys). The Puy-de-Dôme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puy-de-D%C3%B4me_%28mountain%29) (13km from the city) is the highest of these and well-known for the telecommunication antennas that sit on its top and are visible from far away.
Clermont-Ferrand's most famous public square is place de Jaude, on which stands a grand statue of Vercingetorix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vercingetorix) sitting imperiously on a horse and holding a glaive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaive). The inscription reads: J'ai pris les armes pour la liberté de tous (English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language): I took to arms for the liberty of all). This statue was sculpted by Frédéric Bartholdi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Bartholdi) who also created the Statue of Liberty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty).

Good idea - she is just coming back after a looooooooooooooong time off. ;) Give her some time to find her game again. ;)

Hermenegildo! ;)

Nastya :) :D

C'mon Elitsa. Keep this tempo.

Good idea - she is just coming back after a looooooooooooooong time off. ;) Give her some time to find her game again. ;)

I know it's been such a looooong time and that's why I've been so enthousiastic in my picks. But I thought there was a thing called 'training' which you would use to find that game... but I guess I was wrong huh:o

But at least she seems to be playing on a regular base again (although I'm not sure if playing a 25K in Jersey is the best way to find your game again?:) :) )

Magalie Girard (FRA,Q) def Ekaterina Dranets (RUS,8) 7-6(3) 6-4

Allez Kristina :scared: ...

The match must to be tough for her but no results for the moment !

But at least she seems to be playing on a regular base again (although I'm not sure if playing a 25K in Jersey is the best way to find your game again?:) :) )

Training is not the same as playing matches. She was injured a lot, so training was probably limited as well. Let's hope she can finally play a regular schedule again and improve.

Bergot def. Mladenovic 6/3 6/1

Finally Kristina has been demolished by Bergot :sad: You must to improve your serve Kristina but you are still young :ok: !

Ciolkowski def. Bejar 6/0 6/4

Mraz def. Bellicha 7/5 7/5

Her first serve is really good, she takes advantage of her 1m80, but she stil has to learn.
She did what she could, after all, Bergot reached the final of a 10k last week.
Kristina :hug:, good luck in juniors.

Training is not the same as playing matches. She was injured a lot, so training was probably limited as well. Let's hope she can finally play a regular schedule again and improve.

Exactly. ;)

:lol: gosh you guys can be so serious!
