Its looks like you guys have a strong entry list this year. Good Luck! :D:bounce:

Sofia and Lilia:hearts:. I think its smart they both decided to play here than in the Qualies in Germany. :bounce:

Alg :)

Will there be a livestream again this year?

go ALG :kiss:

Good luck Anna-Lena :)
time to rise in the rankings again

Main question is how she looks ;).

MD WC

Jelena Kostanic Tosic
Sanda Mamic
Ajla Tomljanovic

Karolina Sprem got a WC. :banana:

great list of md wcs :D:D

I'll watch Karolina play live! :woohoo: :banana: :woohoo:
Hope she's ok now and full of energy! :p

i don't think there will be a live feed...last year, the bwin feed was because of the men's challenger being held concurrently and bwin never shows women's challengers. hope i'm wrong

I also don't think there will be a live feed, especially cause it's not being held like last year along with atp challenger! This time it's at Majoli's tennis centre!
But I don't care about it! :bounce:

does the qualy draw come out tonight or tomorrow?

Karolina :woohoo: :banana: Good luck!!!

Jelena and K-lina in the same week :eek: Hope they'll grab the titles :rocker2:

We had pre tournament metting today. I'm umpiring as the chair umpire for qualies, because they miss umpires and have only 2 white badges for qualies.

does anyone know if they put up a website this year (the one in the first post is for the challenger in zagreb that's held next month)

Can't wait to see Anna-Lena's name again in a draw :sad:

Good Luck Daniela

I also don't think there will be a live feed, especially cause it's not being held like last year along with atp challenger! This time it's at Majoli's tennis centre!
But I don't care about it! :bounce:


:hearts: One of my faves from the 90s/early 2000s :hearts:.

Anna-Lena :woohoo: (excited about her just playing :lol:)

When is her first qualies match and can I watch it on a livestream?

Qualifying draw ? :secret: :D

Matcheswill probably start soon and yet we still don't have the draw :sad:

no draw :o

hopefully AL will get a decent draw, she'll need it

md is out

I wish ALG will win a few matches. She really desverve it.

md is out

where is it???:confused::confused:

iva should know that any decent tournament needs a website :mad:

ALG won 6-0 6-0 :eek::D

ALG 6/0 6/0 against Daniella Dominikovic :bounce:

Good chance for Amanda to qualify. Katie's so unpredictable, it's probably a bad idea to say she has a chance of reaching QF. :o

Daniella has had 3 double bagels in the last year. :tape: :spit:

ALG :woohoo: :D

Daniella has had 3 double bagels in the last year. :tape: :spit:
i still think the double bagel is a good sign for ALG though cause it means she didn't give away a game with dfs and ues

Good luck Katie and Bally! Katie should beat Schaul but Bally has another tough draw considering it's on clay!

Hercog vs. Radwanska should be good!

All of a sudden. 4 really really big shocks :eek:

Groenefeld 60 60 :eek:
Kajtazovic, Obrez and Palcic :eek:

I'm back from a tournament, I was umpiring 3 matches and it was ok. Women's tournaments are too boruing and poor quality. Poltoratskaya pushed me into a swimming pool after a lot of drinking in Hvar, I was totally wet and I tried to push her in a pool but she ran away.

All of a sudden. 4 really really big shocks :eek:

Groenefeld 60 60 :eek:

:eek: Why did she do that ?

When does the play start every day???

Could I know how Hercog got SE from a 50k into a 75k? :o

She's an up and coming player, everyone want to see her play :) Come on, a player who jumped 800 spots in a year deserves one 75k SE if she's played a great tournament 1 week before..

:scratch: SE has nothing to do with who people wanna see play or who's up and coming. That's what Wild Cards are for. SE's are for when someone who should play quallies the next week make the SF or F of the tourney the week before and so can't make quallies for the next tourney.

Good luck to:

Claudine Schaul
Anne Kremer
Karolina Sprem

Let's hope Claudine's foot is ok.

Why isn't Jelena Pandzic here?

Pandzic was down to play in Bucharest, but when she heard I was gonna watch her, she withdrew. :( :(

Good luck ALG today :yeah: :D

Go ALG and qualify!

ITF Women’s Circuit tournament with prize money of $50,000 or higher
or any WTA Tour tournament within the same continent in the preceding

:confused: When did they change the rules? It's not mentioned in their rule change summary so it looks like they just decided to change it durng the year?

good luck Alg! :)

ok, the double bagel was promising, but i can tell you guys that ALG must be playing really poorly to lose 5 games to banovec. banovec usually struggles to win matches in 10k qualies and she consistently struggles at the G3/G4 level in juniors

maybe this girl played the match of her life, facing the biggest name she's played against during her young career...
whatever, decent wins for Anna, no desaster as in Portugal, 2 wins in straight sets and the first back to back wins since Eastbourne 06, should give her confidence
keep going!

Good field :)

i saw the website for this tounie,, it said "live scores",, does anyone know the site as they have taken it down on the first page:p

www.zagrebladiesopen.com
But the site sucks, it still says 2007 :help:

Estonian newspaper Postimees wrote that Ani withdrew from Zagreb. Her main goal to rise into top100 and get into Wimby main draw is done and she will take 2 week vacation.

I think there was some play after cause the rain stopped for a while, not very long though! I didn't want to stay there because of the weather.
ALG looks fit, also Karolina looks great! :)
It's a very small venue, I liked it much more when it was being held along with atp challenger at Park Mladost!

ALG :banana: Well done!

How do you rate Amandas game?

the top pic is amanda right:??,,, she lookin buff:D

How do you rate Amandas game?

Her game is very solid, she was able to control rallies with top spin forehand and eventually hit winners of it if needed. Backhand is a bit weaker shot, didn't see her attack with it. She also goes to net to finish of the point.
Anastasia has great feel on the ball but she really tried to hit too many drop shots, some were fantastic winners but most of them were played at wrong time.
Amanda hit an ace when serving for match at 6/5 40/40, so it was definitely at right time! Otherwise her serve is ok, could be even better if she would try to hit it a bit harder.

Andelko if you go also tomorrow please give a look to Vinci :)

ALG vs. Kostanic
Good match for ALG ;)

good luck Alg :)

if kostanic loses to her (again) she should seriously retire
i really hope alja can win her match :)

Zuzana :eek:

if kostanic loses to her (again) she should seriously retire
i really hope alja can win her match :)

:lol:
Kostanic lost to weaker players during the last weeks :p

matches suspended:
vrljic 6-2 5-7 0-0
ozegovic 4-5*

Nice going ALG :bounce:

Zuzana :rolleyes: She lost with same result already in Italy 4 weeks ago against Mathilde. Looks like her pretty bad year will continue :sad:

:lol:
Kostanic lost to weaker players during the last weeks :p

Normally it is out of question that ALG is the way better player. I would be pretty disappointed if ALG won't win this time as well, Kostanic didn't play well in last weeks and ALG has to win these matches, despite it is her first tourney :) However she already played 3 obviously not bad matches so far.

She also beat Kostanic in 2007 after a break as well on clay - in Fed-Cup :)

Auf geht's Anna :D

Good test for ALG. ;) Auf gehts's :D

Please Lilia, end your singles losing streak here :sad::p.

Well done Mathilde!

Mathilde :) Well done ! It would be great if you win this event.

didn't know Kostanic just reached a 100K-final 2 weeks ago, beating players such as Sfar, Bremond and Foretz in straight sets... so it's not an easy match-up for Anna, but well, she obviously knows how to handle Kostanic ;)
wouldn't be too disappointed if she lost though, honestly I didn't expect her to qualify after that disaster in Portugal last year

did anyone take a photo of ALG :confused: but great to hear she's looking fit again

well done Mathilde ;) :hug:

Kostanic leads ALG 4/3 and serving!

Hladikova easily beat Tomljanovic who couldn't do anything, was very nervous and her arm was heavy!
Also Bychkova beat Vrljic 7/5 in the third.
