It was going to be a close match but Sofia still needs to lose a few kilos to contend with Boom-Boom Marion on a fast court.

Allez Marion :kiss:

LOL Sergi @ Jana finally getting a win and it's over a brit

those poor girls

Anne will beat Blahotova I think...But it will close!!!!! GOOOO ANNE!!!!!!!!! ;) ;D

Marta :sad: :(

Marta, Kaia :sad:

Selima :)
Valentina :(

I think Anne K will cruise to the semis now (although I think she could've beaten Diaz-Oliva).

Anne cruising to semis???

i'm sure the winner of the Glass/Ostrovskaya match will be made of much sterner stuff.

Josh....... Jana won her 1st match for ages over a Brit
now look who she's got in rd2
and another possible Brit in the QF

is that why she came over to play in a $25K ;)

congrats to Olga, Anne, Maria, Selima, Sandra, and especially Jana and Vanny :D

of all people Jana was going to beat, Julie had to be the one ;) Hope she can beat Jane now, and maybe get to semis (won't get too ahead of myself though ;))

I'm surprised she's even here really, her willingness to give much effort recently has been even more dismal than usual (if that's at all possible), and her fitness looked worse too. I hope she;s here to be serious about moving her rank back up and getting herself back near top 100.

too bad for Sofia, Kaia, and Dragana :(

According to Estonian media - Maret had some problems with her passport or/and visa, so she wasn't even there. And to be more exact, according to Maret - she had already sent the withdrawal note weeks before, but apparently they didn't go through...

So, at least there's nothing serious (injuries or something...)

Thanks Kylli! :) Good to hear Maret isn't injured.

it might not be a prob pretty soon if Estonia get EC membership :)

Happy to see wins for Anne K, Lucie, Jane and Maria Geznenge. Sorry to see Evelyn Fauth lose. Hopefully Lucie can beat Russegger.

I would love to see Anne cruise to the semis like someone siad but Glass, Ostrovskaya and Blahotova are all tricky opponents.

Sofia :(
Marta :(
Dragana :(

Jane :)

Mariana played here just because she wanted some match practice on indoors before playing qualifying WTA events next weeks after a long clay season.

2nd rd:

Anne has been on very good consistant form lately!!!!!!! She could definitely win here!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK ANNE!!!!! ;) :D

Andrea - finally, good luck in the next round

Marion :eek: :sad:

Selima - another win (keep it up ;))

Jana and Lucie :)

Vanessa and Sandra :)

Sandra :)
Vanessa :)

Excuse me Boiled Egg, if its not too personal would you tell me why you don't like Sandra?

I root for Sandra because I saw her play on tv once, liked the way she played, and decided to root for this obscure Czech girl that most United States tennis fans couldn't care less about.

Thats it. I don't know a thing about her life or her personality.

Is she a snob, a b****, does she throw temper tantrums on court?

Maybe if I knew what you did, I wouldn't like her either.

ALLEZ VANNY!!! END THE YEAR WITH A WIN!

Stephanie :D :D :D :D :D

Jane :sad:

Marion :rolleyes:

congrats to Anne, Jana :D :D :D. Selima, Vanny, and Sandra ;)

good luck Jana, make it 3 Brits in a row ;)

too bad for Olga and Maria :(

Selima :bounce:
Vanessa :)
All the Brits who won :)
Marion :o

Eggy, maybe Anne K won't cruise to the semis, but I still think she'll get there. Although she'll have to play much better against Andrea Glass.

Mariana lost ?:( :o

Kuilli, if you haven't seen it from the website yet, Kaia & Sofia won in doubles! ;)
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Well done to Lucie Ahl and Anne Keothavong. Selima Sfar seems to be coming back to her old form.

Jane :(

Marion,Jane :sad:

I knew Marion wouldn't last too long on indoors :cool:

Task, don't worry. TBE will never answer your question. The same if you ask him about Smashnova ;)

Great stuff from Anne K though :bounce: and Glass is out :D Hoping to see Anne K v Jana N in the final.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Vanny :sad: :(
Selima :mad:
Anne :)

come on Jana, just think Sandra is British
give her a cup of tea before you play ;)

Sofia/Kaia :D :D

Take the title, Jana! :D

How does Cohen Aloro play?Can Anne beat her?

I think Anne should beat Cohen Aloro because she has so much more potential!!!!!!!!! ;) :D

Come on Anne! :D

Annes been playing gr8 recently, wonder wot she has done to turn it around.

Any doubles 2nd round scores? No, I know they're not on the LTA site yet.

Annes changed coaches about July time plus winning those 1 10k events in August gave her loads of confidence.Anne usually plays really well when she confident.When she isn't its quite horrible! Like the first half of 2002!

anyone know where elena baltacha is? got to support a fellow scot!:o

I think Elena's in the main draw for the Southampton 25k next week.

pfffff selima

cohen aloro? give me a break

Shes mean't to be but this virus may force her to withdraw:sad:

I hope shes ok for nationals so i get a chance to see her!

Selima :rolleyes: - terrible loss

Well done Jana and Sandra - i hope the winner of this match wins the tournament

:bounce: WELL DONE ANNE!! :bounce:

Keep up the good work.

Selima :(
Anne K :)

Anne :)

Go Anne, I can see now a Sandra vs Anne final...oooops, sorry Eggy ;-)

LOL

Anynews on the semis?

Vamos Jana!!!!:D Beat Kleinova! Good luck Bartoli/Webb as well!

Semi-Final results

Stephanie Cohen Aloro (Fra) bt Anne Keothavong (Gbr) 6-2 6-1:sad:

Sandra Kleinova (Cze) bt Jana Nejedly (Can) 6-2 6-2,

Any doubles results ??

Pullin and Diaz-Oliva beat Boulykina and Domachowska in straight sets, I think 6-1 in the second set. But Domachowska was easily the best player on court - just that Boulykina was easily the worst. No idea about the other doubles, it was a set all when I left between Bartoli/Webb and Lubiani/Sassi.

pfffffffffff@semi scores :mad:

Well done Sandra :)

Go Sandra ;)

Anne:sad:

But a great week.

Go Sandra! :)
Good luck in the final!

Did Anne play bad?!?!? :confused: :sad:

Anne :(

Cohen-Aloro BEAT Kleinova 6-1, 6-1

Bartoli & Webb BEAT D-Oliva & Pullin 6-4, 6-2

will post more later

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephanie :bounce: :D :D :D :D

Eggy, if Anna S played Sandra, who would you root for? ;)

Congrats Stephanie :D

neither
i'd stay out of it

Amazing Stephanie !
Just amazing...
Now just get a bit thiner and you'll be able to win against top players !!!
:)

Firstly, the spectator facilities were better today, as they put a row of about 30 seats out, so you could watch from ground level without nets as an obstruction.


Cohen-Aloro V Kleinova:

I said that yesterday's semi-final between Nejedly and Kleinova was slow-paced. A snail would have out-run Kleinova today! The much more athletic Cohen-Aloro completely dominated today's match as the score showed.
She mostly played from the back of the court. This was understandable, given Kleinova's repeated failure to reach the wide cross-court shots.
Kleinova only held her first service game in the first set, and her service hold in the second set was to make it 3-1 when Cohen-Aloro had her only bad game of the match. By the second set, Kleinova was completely losing her composure, repeatedly complaining about line-calls, which IMHO were completely correct. Kleinova was wearing a support on her right knee, but apparently she had been wearing it all week (she certainly was yesterday). There really was never any doubt about Cohen-Aloro winning this match.

Bartoli & Webb V Diaz-Oliva & Pullin

1st set: In a poor start for Bartoli, she lost her first service game. However, she and Webb, recovered immediately to break back, and then Webb comfortably kept her serve. All game stayed with serve until the score was 5-4 to Bartoli and Webb. An interesting incident in the 8th game, was when a boy (probably about 5 y-o) ran across in front of the spectators to his seat during the middle of a point. Pullin just laughed at this interruption, but Bartoli gave the boy a real :mad: angry glare. In the crucial tenth game, Bartoli played some powerful shots to Pullin, who they clearly thought was the weaker of their two opponents, and they succeeded in getting a break to win the set 6-4.

2nd set: All games went with serve until Bartoli & Webb were leading 3-2. However they were winning their service game VERY easily, especially Webb. Meanwhile Pullin was really struggling with her serve now. The game to make it 2-2 was a real marathon service game for Pullin, lasting about 12 minutes.
In their next service game at 2-3, Diaz Oliva served much better, but some great accuracy from Bartoli combined with a couple of bad drop-shot attempts from Pullin, got Bartoli and Webb a break to make it 4-2. They comfortably held serve. Pullin now lost her nerve badly on her own serve, throwing in a bad double fault and they only won one point as they lost the set and the match 6-2.

Now I'm going to get the photos off my digital camera.

Also my condolences go out to anyone affected by those terrible events in Bali.

bluepastures, thanks. :)

Thanks for that bp.:)

WOW! :eek:

Sandra :(

But congrats to Stephanie
