Da Annika Beck mit 15 Jahren das Finale des 10K von Equeurdreville erreicht hat, hat sie denke ich mal schon einen eigenen Thread hier verdient ;). Sie dürfte damit die jüngste Spielerin seit langem sein, die das in so jungem Alter geschafft hat. Hier mal die Ergebnisse im Überblick:

Q1: (6)Annika Beck def. bye
Q2: (6)Annika Beck def. Katharina Holert 6:1 6:1

R1: (Q)Annika Beck def. Alize Lim 3:6 7:6 6:4
R2: (Q)Annika Beck def. Marina Melnikova 6:0 6:0 ;)
QF: (Q)Annika Beck def. (3)Danielle Harmsen 6:4 6:1 :eek:
SF: (Q)Annika Beck def. (2)Kinnie Laisne 6:4 6:0 :eek:
F: (Q)Annika Beck vs. Constance Sibille

Sie schlug damit zwei Spielerinnen aus den Top500 und das ganz glatt. Im Ranking macht sie einen deutlich Sprung von Platz 1101 auf Top950 momentan :).

Serving for the match at *5-4.

Edit, playbyplay:

Service Winner 15-0
Forehand unforced 15-15
forehand unforced 15-30
Ozaki unforced 30-30
Ozaki unforced 40-30
Ozaki unforced GSM

Ozaki either injured herself or is cramping badly after the last shot of the match, standing behind the baseline, Annika helping her.

On the other hand, this is a typical match to show off her main problem: She has to work way too hard for each win with her game, that will always limit her potential because she has to put in so much effort even in early rounds, that will always put her in a disadvantage compared to players with bigger weapons.
ja, das trifft es ziemlich genau. Annika muss für ihre Siege immer sehr hart arbeiten. Mit ihrem Aufschlag bekommt sie keine freien Punkte, sogar eher das Gegenteil. Er lädt die Gegnerinnen zum Attackieren ein, und Annika ist sofort in der Defensive. Der schwache Aufschlag und die geringe Größe sind einfach ein Riesen-Nachteil. Ähnliche Probleme haben Sesil Karatantcheva, Michelle Larcher De Brito oder Tamira Paszek. Alle klein, extrem schlechter Aufschlag. Sie müssen wie Annika sehr hart für ihre Siege arbeiten. Dann fehlt natürlich Kraft für die weiteren Runden.

Also Annika lacks self-confidence right now, that`s obvious with her many losses and rare wins. It`s tough for her. She should play the lower tournaments next season (when possible) in order to gain wins and confidence. It would me smart to play Tashkent and other MMs. And Annika has to improve her game, work hard on her serve and play aggressive.

She looked a bit tired at the end and was not focused enough. Too many UEs in the last couple of minutes.
That is bound to happen if each of her matches is a big grind. It's like I said yesterday, each win is such a struggle for her these days, she's bound to run into opponents that are better rested.

Oh well, at least she won one match :)

They will loose, sorry but Ivanovic is too strong for her.
