AO R2: Ana Ivanovic def. Alberta Brianti 6-3 6-2

Much better, Ana :yeah:.

Wasn't Alberta injured? SB was frozen several times.

Played much much better except for that god awful ball toss :help:

Anyways well done Ana. :yeah:

Ana :bounce::clap2::bigclap:

Steadying performance. Serve was a little iffy, can improve, but this was promising :kiss:

Alberta :( :( Got a back injury down 0-3 in the 2nd.

Much better than R1 from Ana though. She will go far here.

Alberta took a timeout at 0-3* in 2nd set

Ana still looks very shaky esp on her FH
still job done :)

Much better performance from Ana, but still have to raise the level of her game.
Even Brianti wasn't bad at times.

That serve is still very shaky but overall, a good performance.

Confidence seems to be slowly trickling back. I think.
Better performance, though Brianti wasn't exactly stellar.

Much better from Ana :D Still a few :tape: ball tosses, but played pretty good overall :yeah:

Onwards we go :cool:

well done ana :yeah:
ball toss was not so great again, but she did serve better today
much better than first round :) keep improving :yeah:

:banana: FIST PUMP :banana:
Solid, promising performance by Ana. :)

Much improved!! Keep it up Ana!!

Her ass looks really good in this dress !

Getting much better, Ana :D

Looks like her comments about getting much better as the tournament progresses is coming to realisation....

Brianti was very good...she plays like top60... Ana was solid!

Ana beats a qualifier? You can give her the trophy already. :cool:
On a serious note, more fluent performance than in R1, but still quite shaky. Tough test against probably Alisa in the next round.

Congrats Ana :yeah:
Next round maybe she will meet Kleybanova , :scared: she isn't a easy opponent :scared:

Back on track! Finally a good match again.

Well done Ana!

A much better outing from Ana. There's still :tape: elements to her game like the ball toss, but there were flashes of old Ana in that match.

GLad to hear Ana was better today :banana:

Brianti was very good... she plays like top60...

Are you kidding me? :o That woman shouldn't be near grandslamlevel based on today's performance. She has no court awareness whatsoever. Her play today was itf-level at best. If this match had been close i would have been really worried for ana's future. Anyways, she has loads of improvement to do. Well done today ana, but you were still giving away way too many free points. pick it up quick or you're not gonna make it far!

Ana:D

Alberta :o Some qualifier you are!

Well done Ana. :) You beat Juju! :D

Her ass looks really good in this dress !

now that's what i call a technical analysis!

well done Ana :D

annoying lass.

well done ana

Better :D

Just keep going

Agreed :yeah:

Yaya :)
Keep it up Ana !

Good win for Ana. :clap2: I`m very pleased with the improvement she showed in today`s match.

Ana played well, but I think her forehand could have done more damage...

I didn't get to see the match yet, but I'm glad to hear that she was playing better. Truth be told, she really couldn't get any worse than her 1R performance.

Good win. Brianti has talent, too.

Brianti has talent, too.

:tape:

Better Ana :D Keep it going :bigclap:

playing better :yeah: :D
good luck against Alisa

Im really very very happy to hear a solid win from her. Keep fighting ANA

Anci :woohoo::bounce:

:woohoo: I'm so happy, sounds like Ana is coming back!

It looked good on paper but that was still horrible for me. Her game looks stiff or something I dont know how to discribe it. Where is her pace of shot where is the depth. Her backhand is horrible and her forehand is not what it once was far from it. I just dont get what has suddendly happen. There is no smoothness there and no conviction.

Disgusting match.

Sucky ITF players do not qualify for R2 at slams. All said. :D

Exactly! Plus Ana will have to really step it up, cause she's going from playing girls outside top100 to Kleybanova who is top40 :scared: Though, good that she improved in comparison to horrid 1r ;)

well done!

Very good match Ana:worship:

well done Ana!

Every time Ana fistpumps after an unforced error from an opponent ranked outside the top 75, the point should be replayed. The girl is abusing the fist. I mean literally after every point. It´s so annyoing. Wow Brianti made a mistake, praise the lord. I wish some opponent would mock her. After beating her Wozniacki should go to the press conference and fist pump after every statement.

Question: So Carolina amazing win tonight.

Wozniacki: Yeah baby fist pump.

Question: What was the key to the match?

Wozniacki: Forehand baby fist pump.

Question: She made a lot of errors?

Wozniacki: Yeah baby fist pump.

Question: What about her ball toss?

Carolina: Guess it sucks fist pump.

Much more solid performance by Ana. Though it may have much to do with the fact Brianti has no weapons at all. She's got probably the most useless groundstrokes (esp. backhand) in the game.
