Well what did you expect? ;)
Btw, I think Aude plays way too much for someone her age :( No wonder she's dealing with injuries all the time :tape:
She plays Juniors, Belgian tournaments, Austrian league?!

Nice to see Caroline & Cécile winning :p ;)

Well what did you expect? ;)

It's not like Yvonne is ranked inside the top-50...she is ranked 278...I was hoping for a more closer match, not a double bagel ;)

Elke :bounce:

R1 Maes (3) def. Haring 6-2 6-4 :bounce:

The good news is that she gets one quality point for that victory.
She really needs some good results to boost her confidence. Honestly I think that if she does'nt break into the top 200 this year she'll quit the professional tour.

I would not be surprised. With her place on the ranks she has now (for some years the same :( ), I'm sure she does not earn enough to make it :s

Justine bt Strycova 6-3, 6-4 :bounce:

I'm sure she does not earn enough to make it :s

Her official prize money in 2003 is $13,062 which is far from enough to make one's living.
As I don't think she earns a lot from sponsors (is she even sponsored?) her only other way to earn money is to play interclubs in France, Germany, the Netherlands...

Doens't BLOSO support Caroline Maes?

Some Austrian Interclub???
R1 (7) Natascha Karolyi AUT d. Aude Vermoezen BEL 26 75 63

Doens't BLOSO support Caroline Maes?
Even with bloso-help it will not be enough to pay the travelling, coaching, hotels... It would be a surprise to me if they gave her more as 1000€/month

Probably interclub will be her best source of income

Pas nog De Caluwe (atlete) gehoord dat BLOSO haar financieel volledig ondersteunde... Ik weet niet in hoeverre natuurlijk, maar ze liet toen uitschijnen dat ze zelfs niets moest betalen.

I guess BLOSO does the same as ADEPS in Wallonia, they just give an official job to the sportman (woman) but he doesn't work and has all the time to train.
