I hope that there are other Zuzana Fans here!
i am a kinda fan of Zuzana, i guess i'll try to follow her results from now on, am a fan of her since Zuzana's winning match ag. Iveta Benesova (one of my other favs, was hard to choose between them who should win :bigcry: , but i was happy whoever won :yeah: :)) in Prostejov....
I really begin to love this girl :hearts:
 
#3 ·
I saw her at Antwerp this year! I will post pictures of her soon

#8 · (Edited)
I saw her play in a Challenger a few years ago and I am not a full time supporter but I like her
 
#11 ·

Again Zuzi in Hannaut

Zuzi beat Natalia GUSSONI 6-0 6-1





I have now nearly every Zuzi picture on the internet!
 
#13 ·
Zuzana is now in the quarters! She defeated Sandra Kloesel 6/3 6/4 to now play top seed, Ludmila Cervanovca
 
#14 ·
well done so far Zuzana!!!, you can beat Ludmila as well :yeah:

Keep it up, i wanna see you go into the final and win the final (shoot i don't i'll jinx her now :s)
 
#15 ·
She won 6/2 2/6 6/1!

Zuzana now is in the semi finals playing the unseeded Emma Laine of Finland! Good chance to make fina! :bounce:

At the bottom side of the draw lies Martina Muller of Germany and second seed, Roberta Vinci of Italy

IMO, Roberta could be dangerous but Zuzana is doing really well and hopefully can win this tournament and soon get back to the top 100.
 
#16 ·
yay!!! great!!, i think she has indeed a great chance to reach the final here, although i am not sure how stronge Laine is, but i do think Zuzana can reach the final and the hopefully win the title!!! :bounce: :yeah:
 
#17 ·
Laine is unseeded so Zuzana has a good chance. I agree that Roberta could be a threat and so could Muller who won the WTA Budapest open a few years back but hasn't done loads since and good luck Zuzana!

She has 15 ITF Singles Titles! :eek: Make it 16

I can't find her on the entry list to many WTA Events so I presume she is playing challengers. She was due to play the 50k in Biarritz in France but withdrew probably because she didn't expect to do as well as she is doing and needs a rest!

Her Head to Head with Emma Laine lies at 1:0
The Met in 2003 in Helsinki clay and Zuzana won 6-1 6-1. Laine has improved since because in Luxembourg last year, if memory serves me it was her that beat Magdalena Maleeva.

She has never played Martina Muller

And has a fantastic 3:0 record over Roberta Vinci. The played in Dinan the current tournament in 2003 and Zuzana won 6-4 4-6 6-2 so I think Zuzi has a great chance here then
 
#18 ·
:) More Zuzana images! :)






 
#19 ·
She defeated Laine 6-1 6-4

Still unknown whether her opponent will be Muller or Vinci yet

Great news I think she certainly deserves this title
Way to go Zuzana!!! :bounce:

I hope she can win the final now, and indeed she certainly deserves this title :yeah:
 
#23 ·
Roberta Vinci the second seed beat her 7-5 7-5 in the final. I am a bit disapointed cos Zuzana had a good week beating Cervanova but she had a good week and takes a well deserved break next week. :)
 
#25 ·
Pity about Zuzana's loss but it was a great tourney for Zuzana, hope she continue like this way, does smb know what will be her next tourney??? :scratch:
 
#26 ·
Zuzana is ranked 115 in the world now and the Czech Number 8 :woohoo:

I can't find her next tournament I think someone mentioned she was due to play in Biaritz but withdrew maybe she is taking another week off
