RE: Week 19 - ITF ($100K) - Prague, Czech Republic - Clay


Kvitova takes the tie-break, 7-1, hope Anne regroups for the next set

Shame, Anne had a set point at 5-4* 40-30* in the 1st set... good score against a top 10 player I guess.

Err, hell of a good score against a top 10 player, who is fresh from winning the Madrid title !

Real pity about not taking that set point.

I know that there was some speculation earlier in the thread that Petra might not be at her best here and / or be giving it her full attention.

But it still on the face of it looks at the moment a very good performance from Anne.

Interestingly, the Czech LL in for the third seed (Hradeckova), Denisa Allertova, is ranked 797, yet she managed to take out her compatriot, Sandra Zahlavova (WR 99), by 5 & 2, while the Pole, Katarzyna Piter (WR 224), did for the Ukrainian SR (whatever that may mean), Viktoria Kutuzova, in three!

Looks like a decent effort by Anne, and she has also been elevated to the main draw for RG today.
Bally now gets her chance against Kvitova after a solid first round win.

Bally gets her chance (and a significant one, given that Petra must have some mental, if not physical, fatigue from last week) second on Center, not before 11.30 BST. Anne plays doubles later on court 1.

Kutuzova (the Ukrainian who got food poisoning at Wimbledon a few years ago, and ended up with a wildcard the following year) is down as SR meaning Special Ranking, as she has been out for over a year and is unranked, but is using her protected ranking to enter here and Roland Garros.

 Ah, I see.  Thanks for that, David. smile  I was pretty sure someone would come to my rescue!
