Well finally Helen is doing well again! She won a G2 in Serbia and beat some really good players! :eek: She also won the doubles title with Rebeka Stolmar. I think she'll be just outside the Top 100 now. Great that she seems to be back on track. :yeah:

Helen started her season last week, she played G2 Donetsk City Cup and reached the final. :yeah: She was Seed #2 and lost to the Seed #1 Viktoriya Lushkova in the final, 6-3 4-6 4-6. :hug: Quite close! :D

Thanks to this final, she moved up 31 spots in the rankings, with a new CHR of 65! :bounce: :yeah:

Playing G2 Trofeul D Sturdza this week as Seed #4. :) GL! :hearts: :cheer:
