Beijing 1r: Anna Chakvetadze d. Iveta Benesova 6-4 7-5

anna was leading 4-0 in the second. :help:

got the win thank god. was clearly the better player, but has absolutely no confidence, she looks like a ghost of her former self on court.
she played some brillant backhand DTL winners and constructed some great points to lead by a set and 4-0, then started slapping at the ball and going for way too much and let iveta back in. held it together in the end which was good. shes so talented but is just totaly gone mentaly right now, this match was won on her ball striking abilities alone as her mind is a 0-15 deficit in every game.

good luck in your next match chak and mission accomplished as far as getting a win on the board again.

That's what I'm talking about. Now take the title!

Whos next opponent

Finally a decent win vs a difficult playing Benesova!!!

Congrats Anna :bounce:

Good win :)

:bounce: Straight sets, can't complain, even if there was a slight wobble in the 2nd. Keep on winning Anna!

Sucks, perhaps Iveta is injured. Or tanking.

:)

Shocking :lol::help:

Anna :) a win :D she´s so much more tanned than her usual self, maybe her hair just looks more blonde ;)

well if she's tanned we can assume she was exposed to sun.. And exposed to sun, blond hair tend to lighten, so we may have the answer to that breath-taking suspens...

Well done Anna, a win's a win, you just to get a few more to get your confidence back :bounce:

A win is a win! Nice job and good luck in the next round Anna!
