well they just came from the AO a week ago & now they have to adjust to another surface & a different climate which ain't easy even for a top 5 player. plus they are playing players who are lowly ranked have nothing to lose so its no surprise that ana & jelena are struggling.
Plus that Reinhard and Rus are lower ranked then they belong to. Those two are at least top-200 players.

Renne :)

Renee is rank 594 and Ana is rank 2.
They are playing like having very similiar rank.. what a shame..
Ana should have won easily, but Reinhard and Rus are very young talented players. Both only 17 years old.

Plus that Reinhard and Rus are lower ranked then they belong to. Those two are at least top-200 players.

well i mean as much as i want ana to win, you gotta give credit to Reinhard for putting up a fight as she has nothing to lose & so much to gain. and its much dangerous for ana to play this sort of player who she has never seen before & who has no pressure than against someone who is close to or at her level.

anyway, c'mon ana :D

2 games all.

Ivanovic - Reinhard 6-2 3-6 *2-2

Belarus- Romania
Ima Bohush- Monica Niculescu
Olga Govortsova- Sorana-Michaela Cirstea
Bohush/Kustova- Kvatsabaia/Mikadze

:p

pls don't lose focus ana

Yes, Renee has a low rank coz she hasn't played that much tennis the last two years. The last 2 weeks, she won a $10k and she made the final of a second, losing only to SIlva. So it's not like she can't play, and she was a good junior, but she had some family problems the last couple of years, and didn't concetrate on tennis so much!

Any way to get live scoring

Ivanovic - Reinhard 6-2 3-6 3-2*

3-2*... Please get a break now, Ana!

Deuce. 2 more pts, Ana!

you must break ana!

4/2 ana :)

Ana breaks for *4-2. :yeah:

Fight back Renee!!!

Ivanovic - Reinhard 6-2 3-6 *4-2

Noo Renée got broken :(

Monica Niculescu d. Ima Bohush 60 63

:drool:

5/2 ana

Quick hold for Ana. 5-2*... Finish it off right here!

Nice hold Ana :yeah: now break to seal it!

Ivanovic - Reinhard 6-2 3-6 5-2*

Renee :sad:

Ned :(

Belarus- Romania
Ima Bohush- Monica Niculescu
Olga Govortsova- Sorana-Michaela Cirstea
Bohush/Kustova- Kvatsabaia/Mikadze

:p

Why Romania play with Belarus? For what?

Ana serving for the match at *5-3. Ajde!

Ivanovic - Reinhard 6-2 3-6 *5-3

Come on Renee - break here now. ;)

30-15.

MP for Ana.

Pobeda! 62 36 63. :D
Good fight Renee. :hug:

Renee :( Well done though :)

:woohoo: Ana, Ajde :D

Renee :hug: good effort.

Renee :sad:

Renee :hug: Great played!

Ana :)

ana was sleeping during this match. she said that the matches are too early in the morning, and that she has problems with adjusting to surface and time zone... anyway well done :)

Next match Serbia-The Netherlands ?

Great match Renee! You can be proud of yourself for taking a set off the world #2! :bowdown:

Hopefully Arantxa can also trouble Jankovic.

Great match Renee! You can be proud of yourself for taking a set off the world #2! :bowdown:

:worship: :D

Pity, but great fight from Renee - no one expected her to win more than a couple of games, let alone a set! :hug:

ana was sleeping during this match. she said that the matches are too early in the morning, and that she has problems with adjusting to surface and time zone... anyway well done :)

Yes, she got bored and fell asleep in the second set right? :rolleyes:

Why Romania play with Belarus?

well i watched this match. reinhard played some good points and she has potential but ana made so many errors . ana showed her game only in some points, the rest was bad. in first set reinhard was nervous so she lost and then started to plat much better. reinhard needs to lose some weight, she is good

Well that's a bit more positive than what you said before I guess.

it's really good to see how these young girls are motivated against ana and jelena. i'm really looking forward to see Rus now, live. She won junior AO and she beat serbian biggest talent Jovanovski. We will se how jelena can handle this.

Why Romania play with Belarus?

I am confused too...

According to that idiotic ITF site only 4 group winners and 4 last place finishers ought to play today...

it's really good to see how these young girls are motivated against ana and jelena. i'm really looking forward to see Rus now, live. She won junior AO and she beat serbian biggest talent Jovanovski. We will se how jelena can handle this.

Yeah - I was at the final (and her first round match). :p

belarus and romania are playing. Monica Niculescu d. Ima Bohush 60 63

belarus and romania are playing. Monica Niculescu d. Ima Bohush 60 63

I know...but for what?

But for what?

Fun? :p

go serbia

jelena 2/0 Rus has attractive game. She likes to attack and she is left-handed. But she is so nervous especially on serve.

Why Romania play with Belarus?

For ranking points.

Jj 5/0

keep it going jelena :D

Jankovic - Rus *5-1

Go Arantxa!

Agnieszka Radwanska d. Oksana Kalashnikova 64 63

Good fight Oksana. :hug:

But group 2 again. :hysteric:

They battle for Fed Cup rank and position too like 4th 5th 8th or 9th whatever... It seems wasting time as they are for sure will not qualify. Thats why Australia lost 0-3 because all players withdrew... similiar happens to Thai vs Indonesia. Indonesia won 2-1 but those 3 points end up with retirement LOL.

Poland def. Georgia 2-0

Urszula Radwanska d. Tatiana Mikadze 61 60
Agnieszka Radwanska d. Oksana Kalashnikova 64 63

Doubles still to play (or not as the case may be ;))

Jankovic - Rus 5-2*

Poland def. Georgia 2-0

Urszula Radwanska d. Tatiana Mikadze 61 60
Agnieszka Radwanska d. Oksana Kalashnikova 64 63

I don't think they will play the doubles. ;)

HUP ARAN!

Come on Arantxa :banana: :hearts:

Jankovic - Rus 6-2

C'mon Aran win that second set!

Ajde Jelena :bounce:

Jelena hurry up and finish the set

Come on Arantxa, give her a real fight!

Come on Arantxa, give her a real fight!

if serbia win do they make the world group play off?

if serbia win do they make the world group play off?
That's what they're playing for.

That's what they're playing for.

They'll probably face the USA then. ;):lol:

They'll probably face the USA then. ;):lol:That's not possible.

This is to get into world group 2. Isn't USA in World group 1? (I don't follow the world groups so much, coz neither NL or Australia is in them at the moment). :lol:

Hup Arantxa!

Yep, USA is in World Group 1

You're right....

Being enthuziastic about Pova in the livestream, I kept forgetting that the world's #2 and #4 still play in a regional zone. :o

You're right....

Being enthuziastic about Pova in the livestream, I kept forgetting that the world's #2 and #4 still play in a regional zone. :o

That's because the #2 and #4 didn't play on the team at he same time before (or at least the last few years). ;)

Congrats Serbia, I hope you will win the promotion match (so we don't have to face you next year)

Arantxa :sad: :hug:
Still a great match and a great experience :)

Serbia congratulations :)

arantxa is great. she lost TB only because she made errors in deciding moments. match finished with her double fault and one miss shot.
well done JJ :)

Well, don't know what it is, but why can we bother the number 2 and 4 of the world so much? Are we so good, or it their form so bad?
Well it's a pity, but of course Serbia deserves to be in the worldgroup with 2 such good players!!
Next year promotion is ours!

Great fight Dutch girls :yeah:

Larsson Vs Gaglairdi must be a long match :confused:

Yeah.. :o

Arn won 62 61

:o

2 and a 1/2 hours :o

A helyosztó mérkőzést tehát már megnyertük 2-0-ra, ezért a párosokra nem kerül majd sor, hanem egy nagyon izgalmas mérkőzéssel folytatódik a centerpálya programja, a svédek második számú versenyzője, Johanna Larsson ugyanis már lassan két és fél órája üti a labdát a svájci Emmanuelle Gagliardi térfelére és még mindig nincs vége a meccsnek a 2-es pályán, amikor azonban befejeződik, a Schnyder/Arvidsson meccs átkerül a center pályára.

something like Larsson match still isnt over
