and pfff@Ivanna and Keiko losing.

Congrat Diana. Oh, Samrita lost!

Ivanna :( :sad: didn't expect this loss :(

Ivanna was up 5-3 in the 3rd and then Eva went on a run and pulled it off, according to the newspapers. Somewhat unexpected from Ivanna to let that happen....

I am very interested in the Isha vs Vesnina match in the R2. Hope Isha can pull that off...

Ivanna learned a lesson,:sad: but it will make her sharper:mad: and then:kiss: :bounce: again

:bounce: Diana :bounce:

interesting quarters.....
Isha vs Elena 2 juniors, go Isha for 1st title before 18,
#2 Indian junior vs Vesnina
and Akgul, revenge for Ivanna
Q Joulia Vorobieva (RUS) d. 7 Sonal Phadke (IND) 75 63

another qualifier taking out a seed,
opposite half of Elena,
cant help but think another Russian final.....:p

(4) Da-Jung Hong (KOR) d.Megha Vakharia (IND) 6-4 6-4 :(

Dhruv,

The official ITF spread sheet says 76(5) 76(4) win for Rushmi-Sai. I too saw the agency news with the score you reported. I don't know where they got that..

Jay

News agencies in India these days are trying to screw with our minds I think. Actually they are probably pre-occupied with the cricket WC right now to validate any of the scores :). I can recall a couple times over the last little while that they have had results reversed and other gaffes.

Atleast Rushmi-Sai won I am editing my first post so as not to confuse everyone too. ;)

Rushmi/Jaya :D

Oh, shoot. :(

I would like to thank you, jayakris and Dhruv, for making this thread so much fun. :D:D

Better luck next time, Megha! You have some new international fans now! :)

Congrats to Da-Jung

You are welcome Janie!

Here is the coverage in The Hindu newspaper -

Maiden Title for Da-Jung Hong (http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/2003/02/23/stories/2003022305861600.htm)

Nice picture (though black and white) of Da-Jung with the trophy. I didn't know that she was also pretty short (just over 5 feet, according the newspaper) like Megs. Congrats!

Jay

WhoohoO! Finally, congrats to Da-Jung! Hope this brings many more success!:bounce:
