Sydney 2007

Dinara starts against Pratt, the winner plays Kim. No doubles this week.

She should win. By far.
Kimmie. Tough. But not impossible.

Go Dinara!!! :D

Dinara won the first set 6-4, Pratt won the second 6-3 and Pratt is serving at 1-1 in the second. Maybe she is tired from her long matches at the Gold Coast?

Whoops sorry. Something screwd up then and it kept posting when I typed letters.

Dinara serving at 1-2 30-15 in the deciding set. The winner played Kim :)

Dinara lost 6-4 3-6 2-6.
Dinara shouldn't have played Sydney. I've no doubt fatigue played a factor in this loss. She looked spent in the doubles final on Saturday. Dinara should have gone to Melbourne and had a few light days in recovery before building up again. Dinara needs to be sensible with her schedule. Medical Fatigue Syndrome doesn't just dissappear.

AWww Dinara :sad:

I wont get to see her this year :(
Oh well good luck in melb and i hope she hasn't worn herself out!

Well if she has worn herself out, at least she has quite a few days rest and she might not have to play until Day 2 of the AO.

Good luck in Melbourne Dinara. Hope to see you there ;)

Well, at least the haters are having a happy time now, so good for them ;)

Probably fatigue from last week, is the only explanation. In any other normal circumstance she should not lose to a Pratt.
Nice for Pratt though. Tough she meets Kim now ;)

Go and rest Dinara. :yeah:

It's no big deal. Now she has time to rest before Melbourne, which is much more important.

You should look for her anyway. Sometimes the players stay
in the area and practice there.

well, I guess there are days when shit happens... all what matters is should will be well-rested for AO :hug:

Here's for an awesome Melbourne for Dinara :bigclap:

Dinara :sad:

At least she has a week off now and can get ready for Melbourne

I'm convinced she just wanted to see Marat play in Melbourne. (smile)

I hope this doesn't affect her confidence for the AO in any way...
Still, a week off should make for a strong, refreshed Dinara :yeah:

That was a mess after winning GC.
She should have been able to beat Pratt and get to Kim.

She has to do better next week, and lose to a top 10 player, not a Pratt.
