Nice start to the tournament :banana:

Katya lost in the 1st round last year, so this is an improvement:yeah:

Congrats for your first win in a grand slam Katya :yeah: :bounce: Nice match despite the fact that she lost her focus several times (she led 4/2* in the first set ,then let Ivana Lisjak coming back to 4/4 before holding and breaking for the set.Then, in the second set she led 1* /0 but was broken back.After that,she led 4*/3 40/0 but once again was broken back :eek: Still, the most important is that she won :bounce: ) Best of luck against Nikki now :D :scared:
