I can't believe there wasn't a thread for one of Ukraine's rising stars.

She's born on 12 September 1994. She's the reigning junior Roland Garros Champion and has been the ranked number 1 on the ITF circuit. On the professional tour, she has also made the finals of a 25K losing to another talented teenager, Lyuda Kichenok. Her highest WTA ranking is 548.

Let's all cheer for her as she rises up the rankings soon and be a real star on the WTA tour!

Much better energy and focus than in the last two matches I saw of her, before this tourney.
Mostly defense and counter-punching today, but that was probably the smart approach, considering the windy conditions. And some of her junkballing was pretty delicious. :hearts:
Larsson next for a spot in the final. Let's do it!

Too many short balls in the first set, but Vesnina was in UE mode and didn't really take advantage. Better hitting from Elina in set 2, and the junkballing was quite effective at times. :lol:

According to the WTA site she's never faced Larsson before. GL! :cheer:

Wanted to add: *outstanding* play from Elina to save 5 BPs in that epic 12-minute final game when she served for the match (she didn't face a single BP before that)

- 4 unreturned serves (incl. 2 aces)
- 1 crosscourt forehand passing shot winner

Really solid and focused under pressure :yeah:

Yes, she'll be the new Queen of New Haven after La Borz ended her dominance there. :inlove:
