nika is soooo going to choke
she's not good enough to choke this one away...she might get double bagelled though. she's going to be so nervous playing fed cup again and this time she has an exceptionally good opponent on the other side of the net

Ana :)

0 15

Jovanovic doesn't seem to play very well :unsure:

Is it just today maybe :p

Bt her forehand seems to be bad... Backhand isn't so special either. Maybe she's just not comfortable or what...

Jovanovic isn't a bad player :)

serbia serving for the match :o

Jovanovic isn't a bad player :)

She obviously isn't cause she'd be lower on ranks otherwise.

But the match is bad anyway..

Jovanovic doesn't have much power on her shots, but that maybe her tactic...

jelena wased 0-40 at 5-4 and she hit a ball that was going out :help:

jelena should retire

Jovanovic had a great 2007. She sucks this year, though.

She obviously isn't cause she'd be lower on ranks otherwise.

But the match is bad anyway..

Jovanovic doesn't have much power on her shots, but that maybe her tactic...

she beat Ashley Harkleroad end of last year easy and has only been playing full time for a year :)

serbia won :haha: fucking disgrace

Go Ana Go SERBIA :)

:woohoo:

Croatia :o

what was the score?

jovanovic in 2008:

jelena should retire

Jelena:help::help::help::help:

This is THE WORST match I have ever seen!!!

:haha:
:spit:
Ana :woohoo:

it was 6/4 7/5 :worship:

does anyone have the ozegovic jankovic score? (not that it matters, nika will be lucky to win more than 2 games)

Ozegovic - Jankovic 1:2*

3 breaks so far but some pretty good tennis

Ozegovic - Jankovic 1:4*

1:6, 0:1

3 games???

Serbia leads 2-0 :yeah:

WooHoo Well Done Srbija

WTF was wrong with Kostanic, she was acting like some teenager! :o

Goran Prpic should be gone!

I didn't see Ivanovic! :sad:
Many people in the crowd were very dissapointed and confused when they saw Jovanovic preparing for the match!

^ :awww: I hope Ana will play today.

^ :awww: I hope Ana will play today.

she is playing.

It is 1-1 in 1st set


:wavey:

Ozegovic - Ivanovic *2-4

Keep the updates coming ... :)

Ana serving for the set 5-4 :)

any link for Ana's match?

7-5!!! Keep fighting Nika!!!

Serbia won :)

The girls were great :) Although I must say Ana J. had a lot of luck because Jelena KT played pretty bad. But on the other side Ana was very calm in some situations. JJ played her game at 30% from her maximum and won pretty easy. As of Ivanovic I watched only second set and she played awesome, as ususal :cool:
I think that the Croatians had too much respect for our players. I must say I'm stunned how great they were, the crowd was great, the line judges (right term?) as well. Great weekend for us :)
Now, we hope to have luck with the draw, or at least to get to be hosts against tougher teams.
