Irena Pavlovic at Memphis WTA

Since her convincing run at the AO, Irena played an ITF at Sunderland $25K.
Average result for her ambition as she was upset by 8th seed/n°280 Vrljic in QF.
Was she in the best form for that match???...may be not, as she was forced to withdraw from the Open GDF Paris qualies due to illness.

She's now feeling good and flight to Memphis WTA to play the qualies.
1rst good result: She ousted 3rd seed/n°161 Julia Cohen.
Sadly, she now has to face 7th seed/n°182 compatriot and friend Larriere...for a place in the MD!

Good luck!

Irena Pavlovic at Memphis WTA

Irena qualified for the Main Draw!
As unseeded, she defeated 3rd seed/n°161 Julia Cohen 6/0 6/1, then she beat her compatriot and good friend 7th seed/n°182 Victoria Larriere 6/2 6/2 to qualify for the Main Draw!

In the Main Draw, she faced 7th seed/n°62 Johanna Larsson:
She played on the Central and gave a real fight falling 4/6 6/4 7/5!
With a bit more of experience, she could have finished that match as she was leading 5/3 in the 3rd set! :fiery:

However, Irena seems to play another level than her ranking!
After a close match vs Erakovic at the AO and here again at Memphis, she can capitalize on her level!

Good luck for her!

Pavlovic, la Française qu'on n'attendait pas

La Française Irena Pavlovic a remporté à 23 ans son premier match sur le grand circuit en se qualifiant pour le deuxième tour de Roland-Garros face à la Taiwanaise Chang Kai-Chen (6-4, 7-5) dimanche.
"A la balle de match, j'ai pensé à mes proches, j'étais contente pour eux. C'est toujours à part quand on est à la maison", a déclaré la joueuse née à Belgrade, qui a bénéficié d'une invitation pour le tournoi parisien.

Grand espoir chez les jeunes, l'actuelle 176e mondiale a connu des problèmes de santé et d'entourage qui ont nui à son éclosion.

"Ce match, je l'aurais perdu il y a un an. Mais j'ai eu la bonne attitude. Quand j'étais petite, je gagnais tout. Mais j'ai eu des problèmes de santé et je n'étais pas forcément bien entourée. Il a fallu que je me détache de ce que les gens pouvaient me dire. Je ressentais trop de pression. Aujourd'hui, je ne me mets pas de limites", a déclaré Pavlovic, arrivée en France à l'âge de 3 ans.

Elle rencontrera l'Espagnole Anabel Medina Garrigues ou la Britannique Laura Robson au prochain tour.
