My Comments:
Nathalie VIERIN:
Nathalie must be inspired by all of her compatriots who are rising in the world ranking. She's got a pretty good year's start reaching the Final Round of the qualies in Melbourne. Last week, she was competing in her home land at Ortisei $75K challenger where she reached the Quaters ousting the 8th seed/n°88 Emanuelle Gagliardi before loosing to qualifer n°177 Olga Blahotova.
She's up 5 places from her previous best ranking.
Vania KING:
Vania continues her rise in the world ranking. Last week , she reached the 2nd round of the qualies in Tokyo Tier 1 $1,340M loosing to veteran compatriot n°93 Lisa Raymond.
Olga BLAHOTOVA:
Some girls have to wait to produce their best!!...Olga is reaching her highest ranking just after her 30 y.o birthday! Last week, she just produced an incredible run in Ortisei $75K challenger reaching the Semi Finals as a qualifer before loosing to eventual champion n°112 Eva Birnerova.
Shiho HISAMATSU:
That double handed both sides player is having a good sart in 2006. After a 3rd round in the AO qualies, she also reached the last round of the qualies in Tokyo Tier 1 $1,340M with a victory over the 1rst seed/n°36 before falling to 7th seed/n°107 Saori Obata.
