Look at the 2nd sets of the last four losses.

I think the split with her coach has somthing to do with it.

At least she is back on track by beating Linsday...

Dunno whether to be happy or not... :|

It seemed that she didn't realy fight anymore in her last tournaments but she is back now :bounce:

whatever it was(and believe me,i've been verry verry worried),she seems to have put it behind her!
kimmie's back in business!
good luck for the finals kimmie!!!!!!!!!!

Go Kimmie, you can do it(beat venus)!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

it's the limited amout of practise that made her lose. After a couple of monyhs it starts to work against you. I think/hope she now found the right balance between rest and practise

It's probably also mentally. She said she could serve at 110 miles/hour but in her head she still knows she has to do it slower.

Didn't realize she'd been doing so bad:eek:

but this week has been much better from her

Ditto to that! :)

Kim's on her way back! And all players go through a little slump at one point!

C'mon Kimmieeee!!! :bounce: :bounce:

There are about 8 different serious reasons why Kim has done poorly. Hard to say which are the most important, but all that matters right now is that she has a lot of confidence anytime she plays Lindsay.
