normal start from Michelle.

Thanks 4 winning this

I Think she still is connected with IMG ;) She'll stay train at Bolletieri's too...Atleast i think i read that...

Oh ok, thanks! That makes sense.

Yes she is still connected with with IMG. But she rarely goes to the Nicki Bollettieri Academy. As for the game yesterday i saw it and it was one of those games that only depended the way Michelle played to win or loose. Because she played bad in the first set, but she woke up in the middle of the second set and didn't give any chance to her oponnent, impressive groundstrokes and superior intensity. There is some photos bellow.

Boa sorte Michelle!

Michelle lost 1-6 3-6. :smash:

She seems to have hit a wall recently. :(

Reaching the 2nd round is a good thing,I guess.What worries me is Michelle's serve.I know that she is not tall but there is a room for improvement.

WTA.2009.US.Open.2R.N.Li.vs.M.Larcher.de.Brito.ENG .WebRip.x264 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0VBOPBAE)

i watched michelle practice before her match against li and i have 2 decent photos on my phone but i am unaware to post them. Interestingly the whole entire practice she didnt grunt once, strange in comparison to azarenka and sharapova who grunt in both practice and matches.. she can then obviously control it.

Hope she can get better soon! Forca Michelle!

also voted

Votado :) voted

Michelle is also on the lists to Poitiers and Ortisei...Both 100k+h both in the same week. Finally she decided to play some challengers...It's a pitty that they are so strong...She's in the Qualies in both but half of the players are in both lists so i expect her to get to the MD of atleast one...

Does anyone know how many tournaments does she have left and will she play any more after playing Poitiers/Ortisei?

After Luxemburg she has 4 more tournamnents left. I think she will play 2 before the Australian Open in January. So i think she will play two itfs until the end of the year.

Besides the results i think this Fed Cup was very good for Michelle because she played 4 matches in a row which gives her a very good balance for the next tournaments. Next tournament Memphis.

did they play vs Bulgaria yesterday?

Yes. Lost 2-0. Michelle lost 63 63 against Pironkova. Michelle played well, her serve is much better. But Pironkova was very solid and served really well.

Playing at Memphis this week...we'll see how it goes. Good luck but don't be a brat!

I don't expect much against Alexandra Dulgheru. It would be a great result if she beats her.

Dulgheru is a clay's player. After these two wins I'm expecting another win from Michelle.

Michelle receives a WC to Miami md

Michelle has a very difficult task against Sorana Cirstea (#40) in 1st round. She will play on next wednesday. She has already been defeated by Sorana Cirstea in Tashkent, two years ago, when the Romanian won that tournament.
If she wins, an even more difficult opponent, Venus Williams (#5).

Go, Michelle! A win in Miami would be awesome!

Michelle played today and lost against Sorana Cirstea, 7-5 and 7-6 (11-9).
Not a easy win for Cirstea, but a natural defeat for Michelle.

Next, Estoril (Portugal)? Or semething before? Pontevedra, Marbella, Charleston, Barcelona, Stüttgart, Fez?

The other portuguese players (Frederico Gil and Rui Machado) has the same fate: defeat.

Better luck next time, Michelle.

Next tournament Charleston

I think Michelle will now lose her title of being the highest ranked U18 player, after wimbledon considering Tomljanovic won 40 points in the qualifying and Michelle will lose 100.

Oh Well, Good Luck Michelle :)

Let's go Michelle, you can do it!

Michelle, plz, beat Serena :bounce:

C'mon Michelle! Break Serena!!

Michelle did well in the second :)

I guess not much more could be asked since serena was just too good...

Bastad next, she's one out of the MD so i'm sure she'll enter :p

Michelle played a nice second set, with some great shots, but Serena was just too good :hug: She was a bit unlucky sometimes, with possible winners out just for a few cms, but I think she's serving better, even if she is still making too many doubles.
Bad luck with the draw!

Good fight in the second set, Michelle. :hug:

I agree, I think the serve is getting better.

She was injured in the right shoulder, she is serving even better than this.

^^ Really? I didn't notice that! I hope she gets better soon and I also hope it is nothing serious!

^^ Really? I didn't notice that! I hope she gets better soon and I also hope it is nothing serious!

Well, I actually did notice something on her shoulder I think the right one...After one of serena's serves she was massaging and rotating her shoulder. I hope she can recover for Bastad :D

Hugo do you know if she really plans on playing the european season after wimbledon? :D
