After becoming only the third to break the WTA top 100 in Taiwanese history (now ranked 73 in the world), Yung-Jan Chan, 17, aims high at the top 50 by the end of 2007. :yeah: Best of luck!
Finishing Asian Games impressively with 1 gold (team) and 1 silver (doubles), Yung-Jan would start the new year in Hobart, Australia, and then compete in AO where she was awarded her first direct entry of a grand slam in career.
Re: Yung-Jan Chan 2007 Cheering Thread - The whole new start !
Yung-Jan mistakes the starting date for a day later and miss Hobart because of late arrival.
This means she has no choice but to head straight to Melbourne for AO without normal training at the end of 2006 and warm-up events...
-:lol: We all make mistakes. But I agree.She can learn a lesson from this though.
-Actually I'm not familiar with Hao-Chin's game.The only thing I know is that she swept both singles and doubles (of course with Yung-Jan) in G4 Hong Kong last oct when she just turned 13,and that was her debut in ITF juniors circuit. (Oh,and She's tall )

Mixed dubs draw is released.Yung-Jan and Hyung-Taik Lee of Korea don't get the WC they applied for.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yung-Jan(#108)/Chia-Jung(#75) is playing their first GS doubles as a team against Y.Fedak(#36)/T.Perebiynis(#62),leading 4-2 and A-40 in the first set,but struggle a bit while rain interrupt the match before finish the set 7-5.
They keep their good form and make a dominant lead of 4-0 in the second set,but from this moment they start to make easy mistakes,giving away the set 5-7 by only 1 point down.
Now matches continues;YJ/CJ is up 2-1.

A crazy 119-min match,with soooooooo many break points from each other.
Yung-Jan & Chia-Jung converted 7 out of 22,while Tax & Roberta captured 6 out of 10.Now they got themselves into the final 16 ,next they would face either Safina/Strebonik or Mauresmo/Bremond...
