2/Rita has had several injuries through the last 2 years (legs, ankles). In 2003, she came through the qualies of Casablanca (as U know it) and Helsinki. She reached the 3rd round of Final round of qualies in Roland Garros & US Open, near to beat Birnerova & Poutchek at these last events.
She only played 3 events this year, losing at the first round of Aus Open to Husarova, losing in the qualies of a 75000$ Ortisei (indoor) and failed to qualify in Bogota, losing to Gallovits ( she played 2 matches that day, while Gallovits had a day off ).
Now that the clay season is beginning, i hope she'll be able to recover a decent level of game. Re the commitments this year in Casablanca, she can definitely qualify for the main draw.
