Anett Kontaveit

Game Set Match!!!!!! 63 61 Pironkova
Anett once again had opportunities at 15-30, but her inexperience held her back
She really could have gotten close in this match. Many opportunities. Anyway, lets hope she does better in her next match
It goes to show though, that if kaia played, and anett played kostova, she might have won a set given that her match was a lot closer today then it seemed

Anyone know whose playing doubles?

Anyone know whose playing doubles?

Paalma and Vorobjova.

Not a bad effort against a very experienced Top 50 player.

Anett won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She will surely get an interview on WTA. her highest career victory by over 300 ranks!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job, Anett! I'm really happy about this result :sobbing: A win over top50 is a very good achievement.

What a win! :eek: :cheer:

I never expected this. :)

This should hopefully set the tone for her season. She should try and get a wildcard into either copenhagen or bastad as she has the capability to go far. And against a wimbledon quarterfinalist, in straight sets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:yeah: anett!!!!!!!!!!! :kiss: for you

awesome win, anett :worship:

Anett entered into 10K Tallinn as 24 player in qualifying. She should be seeded for main draw

An interesting article. So, basically her coach has pointed out to her that grunting helps her to stay focused and produce better results and kind-of insists on doing it :eek:

Anett Kontaveit def. Bibiane Schoofs 46 76(3) 61!!!!!!!!!! I soooo want her to pull out of Tallinn 10K. If she could do this consistenly, she would be able to make the quarters of some wtas!!!

Anett Kontaveit (EST) d. Bibiane Schoofs (NED) 46 76(3) 61

Another very good win for Anett :hearts: Looks like she really is playing at least on the level of top 200 right now?
But here's a fun fact: Last year Anett played 13 tiebreaks and won 11(!) of them. This year she has played 4 and won 2.

But the ones shes won have actually been career changing important matches whereas the ones against townsend and lee wouldnt have been career changing. The thing I love was that she outdid Bibi mentally. This is a ood sin of what is to come!

You know, I've been always thinking that big countries' juniors have it maybe a bit easier, because they will be offered WCs to various events, so they can gain some valuable experience against much higher ranked players. But Fed Cup has now actually worked out even better for Anett. She got a chance to play 3 matches, at a regular tournament it would have been just the first loss, and then bye bye.

A very legitimate point. Im hoping ether copenhagen or bastad give her a wildcard due to her form. shed almost make copenhagen qualies with her ranking!!!

A 0 and 0 loss from kontaveit/vorobjova. where did that come from???

She still hasnt puleed out of Tallinn 10K 2

Here is a short video clip about the Estonian Fed Cup team arriving back: http://sport.err.ee/tennis/5e2d8b6a-e86f-4be1-ae26-0a28ae989e89

Anett says she can now be at home for a while - play one Tallinn tournament and attend school. Then she plans to go and play women's tour, but she is not yet sure where exactly.

Its probably a good idea that she stays at home, get some rest and go to school. Her wins at Fed Cup were great, and im sure that she will have a larger fan base in estonia now. Hopefully some people will watch her play at Rocca al Mare!

Indy de Vroome has been given a MWC to to Tallinn 1 and presumably Tallinn 2 so hopefully they play dubs together. They seemed to be a good team at Au Open

28 May / 03 Jun 12 $25,000 PREROV, CZE Czech Republic $25000

These are the tournaments that will be in EUROPE until early June. Perhaps Moscow/Bath on 19 march and then she could do the G1 Citta di Croce and Trofeo Bonfiglio followed by Grado then a week off and then Paris for Roland Garros. She could play 100k Cagnes Sur Mer but she would need to play probably 2 25ks and win them both to get into qualies.

Anett is now officially not making the trip to Asia as she is not on the entry lists.

Anett's schedule should look like this:

10k Tallinn 2 in February
25k Bath, GBR in March
25k Tunis, TUN in April
25k Chiasso, SUI in April

In juniors she's planning to play just GS, and one tournament in Italy (I assume it's the Italian Open), and maybe some more in the end of the year in USA.

http://ohtuleht.ee/464500

She will use her junior exempts in these three tournaments. Hopes to have a good enough ranking after, so she can get into 25k-s directly.

Goal is to reach top 300 this year.

If she wins Tallinn 2 she shouldnt need the wildcards for Chiasso and hopefully not morocco. She should be top 300 by the end of the year if she continues the form she had at fed cup. She would almost be top 200. To be ranked 300, she needs to have 173 points. If she plays 12 tournaments, thats an average of 14 points a tournament. Should she win at least 2 tournaments this year and hopefully 2 25ks, she should makes this comfortably :)
She has to improve her doubles ranking though. I know she needs to go to school and everything but she should have just played dubs here with indy as a bit of fun, creating a good partnership and earning some money and ranking points. She has the potential to be a good dubs player but being down at 900 is useless. They surely would have given her and indy a wildcard over mahoni and ilves!!!

If she wins Tallinn 2 she shouldnt need the wildcards for Chiasso and hopefully not morocco.

Even, if she wins next week, she would be barely inside top 600. Last year, Chiasso was one of the strongest 25k tournaments, with a MD cut of #206. No reason to think it would be much lower this year.

And the junior exempt is not exactly the same as wildcard.

Really!!!! I just assumed it would be weak as many of the swiss tournaments in the past havent been strong and i watched a video of the tournametn and there was noone i had seen before. Bath will be strong, all of the british ones are. This weeks rabat is decently strong so anett would be 2 seed in qualies. Tunisia will e weaker though. I hope she doesnt get killed in Tunis :scared:

Did any of the Estonians go to SEB Tallink Open V or plan to go to VI?

Kontaveit def. Van Riet 61 61 in 58 Minutes
Complete domination :cheer:
Go Anett!!!!! :yeah:

that's impressive :)

Nice win today!

http://sport.err.ee/tennis/a6951169-e5ba-44dc-86e0-127c8351079c
Surprisingly, Anett said that the game was mediocre and her serve wasn't working so well.

Destroying scrubs even when playing medicore :worship: I would be disappointed if she doesnt win this tournament.

Any player who beats a top 50 player will smash a player ranked 500 no matter how they are playing. and Van Riet is a puddler so anett will just walk all over her. I dont see her losing this tournament. I understand why she played it but she really shouldnt have played this tournament. If she wins this tournament she will have lost 2 professional matches in estonia and 1 at RAM. She will be undefeated at RAM indoor

Kontaveit beat dutch qualie 62 60 and now has golubic. I can see a final :cheer:

Impressive so far :)

Video from today and some pics.

Even so, if she played like she did at fed cup she would be able to win Chiasso or at least make the final if she had a good draw.

Happy Estonian republic day!!!

Still nothing on Anett vs Vika. This match might have been very close :scared:

Anet WOn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 63 26 64. Now has wacanno. Would be clear favourite for title despite this little downfall vs golubic
Go anett :cheer: :yeah:

Thank you chingching, today is very important day. :)

Anett def Vika 6:3, 2:6, 6:4.

Thank you chingching, today is very important day. :)

Anett def Vika 6:3, 2:6, 6:4.

I know. I had almost forgotten when my relatives told me. It turns out that today I got blood sausage!!!!!!!! Its not easy to find in Australia :)
We sung the national anthem with all my estonian relatives in australia and it was really nice to be so happy and finally remember a positive thing about our past.
Anyway, nice to know that Anett won on independence day. Should make the final. Today was slightly worrying but a wins a win

I went to watch it today. There was quite a lot of people imo (a lot means about 30:lol:), and it was clear they weren't there randomly, because as soon as the match was over pretty much everyone left.

It was a long match, going on about 2.5 hours or so. At first I thought this match doesn't last very long. Golubic's serve wasn't as powerful, so maybe Anett tried to do too much returning it, resulting in quite a few errors. 2nd set was very erratic from Anett altogether, at some point it felt she was bashing in frustration, making wild errors. And she was actually down 0*-5, I was pretty sure she'd get bagelled because she had lost her last service game before that to love. 3rd set began with breaking Golubic's serve, and she didn't give the lead away anymore.

As they played, Katarzyna Piter vs Anna Zaja also started. As little as I watched them, Zaja left me with a better impression, but maybe she got too erratic in the 2nd and 3rd set, idk. Also Vinogradova wasn't very amused after her loss.

Thanks for the report, its nice that someone went. Are you going today? Anyway, lets hope anett has a better match against eva. I thought Vika would be easy but she seems to be better than I thought. Again, thanks for the live update

Are there any videos of anett cause i cant find any

It seems that there are no videos from yesterday (at least not published ones). Though there was a TV camera up, but I don't know if they were filming too, or not. There was no sport news scheduled on ETV yesterday, maybe that's why.

Unfortunately I can't go today nor tomorrow.

Thats a shame, but thankyou for giving us your update. Gives us a ood insight into anetts game :)
Anyway, Anetts match should hopefully be finishing soon

Anett def. Eva Wacanno 63 64 :) Final against Piter or Sasnovich

Chance for a title number 4 :yeah:

YAY!!!!!! :cheer:
Go Anett.
Although these last matches have been closer than anticipated. She is defs the favourite for the final. :)

I hope Anett can take the title again!

Btw, according to ERR tomorrow (26th) in Spordipühapäev in Vikerraadio there will also be an interviw with Anett. The program starts at 18:15, can be listened online here http://vikerraadio.err.ee/. There is also an archive for those who miss it http://vikerraadio.err.ee/kuularhiiv?saade=77&kid=269 :)

Title #4:D

Anett Kontaveit def. Katarzyna Piter 75 64

I read that she needed 6 MPs to seal the deal:eek: In 1st set she lead 5-2 40:0, but then it got to 5 all. In 2nd set she was down 2-4, but was able to win 4 games in a row from there.

Well done!:worship:

Great job Anett :cheer: :)

Nice job Anett :yeah: I guess this was the last 10k of her life? Time to move on to challengers surely :)

Good job :yeah:

The delfi video was great. she was so happy :)
By the way, is it legal for one of the players to know the umpire???

Anett finally updated her facebook page:
http://et-ee.facebook.com/anettkontaveit.tennis

So, her next tournament is in Bath in three weeks. The initial entry list should be available by Friday, so we can get a clue of how tough it will be.

The british ones are normally quite tough but hopefully most are in America. She should be the equivalent of seeded for qualifying. I think that she will definately win rabat if she plays well (she says she played badly in Tallinn which makes sense given her results but in the hihlights she was playing well) and Bath and quarters or semi showing could be nice. Chiasso will be a challenge but if she plays like in Fed Cup, she is as good as a top 100 player. I hope she plays Bastad as it is on clay, it is a weak field and she should have learnt from Timea Babos that if you have confidence, you can go a long way

im going to bath.
but not the first week, the 2nd week when it is a 25k. hope she is playing.

im going to bath.
but not the first week, the 2nd week when it is a 25k. hope she is playing.

She is and automatically makes maindraw with her JE. Hope you can give us some good comments :)

entry will be released tofay !!

This may not be helpful to everyone but I was wondering if we could speak a bit more Estonian in this thread as many would understand it better and I want to work on my estonian :)

So the list is out, seems quite tough. Anett would even be nowhere near the qualifying cut, more like alternative no 100. The last main draw spot is 214 (compared to 288 in Moscow for example) and for qualifying 286 (vs 403). :unsure: Of course this list is not final, but looking at the priorities, there will probably be a number of withdrawals from Moscow, but likely not so many from Bath.

Anyway, let's hope Anett won't have the worst draw and can get at least some wins :)

As I like to say, is she play like she did at Fed Cup and the maindraw cut off gets down to about 250, she has a legitimate chance

But you have to remember that some fo the good players will drop out because their are other good players. E.g. Nastassya Burnett. A 50k winner and a girl who beat Hradecka isnt going to play 25s if theres a risk shell lose 1st round

I am considering quitting tennis forum
Sorry but it is a decision i am genuinely considering

What happened?

Why are you quitting? :confused:

Sorry to see you go :wavey:

People send me bad pms, always put my rep down (except you guys :)) and in general tell me I am annoying, that I should go away and that Tennis forum would be a nicer, more functional place without me

I am not definately quitting though, I am simply considering it. I will probably not start any more threads (except in Baltic Breeze) and also not do fed cup anymore but only follow my favourite players threads

Another video of Anett at SEB Tallink Open VI Final :)
http://sport.err.ee/tennis/8b395c26-c7d0-4c9b-9a2c-6afa42518dfd

You shouldn't take it seriously. If it wasn't you, it'd be someone else. :)

You shouldn't take it seriously. If it wasn't you, it'd be someone else. :)

Thankyou. You guys have been kind and helpful. Theres no way im quitting now. I love tennis too much :)

This field remains ridicuolusly strong. Only 3 maindraw withdrawals!!!!
If they keep this up the cut off will be well inside the top 300 (except of course anett)

If you look at Itf La Marsa, this field will be similar to tunis's one. In terms of preferences, the last main draw acceptance Federica di Sarra of Italy ranked 451. If Tunis is like this, then Anett has a good cance to go deep in the draw. I still think she should've played Fes. She could have made a quarter final :)

Well, looks like there have been some withdrawals from Bath, currently the cut for main draw is 258 and for qualifying 375. Today is the last day for withdrawing, so I suppose tomorrow this list will be modified a bit more..

Hopefully. This field is still very strong though. Anett has a legitimate chance now though

WHOA!!!!! So many people withdrew!!
Anett has a good chance now because with qualies and wildcards the lowest qualifier would be despina at 376

According to a provate message I sent to Indy de Vroome (http://www.facebook.com/IndydeVroome) on facebook, she said that she would continue to play dubs with Anett. If you dont believe me you can ask her herself. She lets all her fans send her PMs)

what's Indy's next tournament, i didn't find her in Bath's list?

Do you speak estonian?

no, i don't speak estonian, i can only read a little

what's Indy's next tournament, i didn't find her in Bath's list?

I didnt ask her if she was playing in Bath. This was our conversation:
Me: Are you going to continue to play doubles with Anett Kontaveit??
Indy: Yes I continue to play doubles with Anett Kontaveit best regards Indy
Me: Thanks for the info :)

what's Indy's next tournament, i didn't find her in Bath's list?

I dont know soory. It will be in europe, probably a 10k before the Italy junior tournaments

maybe fallenden?? The entry comes out later today

In Moscow 25k the main draw cut seems to be 605 :eek: Why oh why didn't Anett sign up there instead of Bath. Maybe because of the surface? Anyway, kind of ridiculous that the points given for both of these tournaments are exactly the same. :lol:

I know. I am personally against tournament whoring but for Juniors I think its acceptable. When you can only play 12 tourneys a year, you cant risk getting a bad draw or not playing well. If Anett wants competitive match play, then do it at higehr level challengers or wta, not chaallengers. Whats the point ion taking a risk in losing whn even if you win you dont get huge amount of ranking points?? Even La MArsa would have been better

didn't expect that :eek:

O is anett planning on playing any higher level challengers/wtas xause she could play bastad?

I seriously doubt she's gonna try WTA this year. Looks like she wants to take it very slowly. Unless maybe she does really really well in those challengers, but even then I think no. After Tallinn she was talking about "having to return to 10k if she does not succeed in 25k-s".

Returning to 10ks should be a last resort as she can basically win everyone she plays. Its a good idea to take it slow, she is only 16!!!
But I do think if she was the ambitious type that a WTA international Quarterfinal or a high level challenger semi would be doable and a great result. If only Estonia had a challenger :(

Can anyone think of a calender after these tournaments???
For example, lets say she makes semis bath, wins tunis and quarters chiasso. Her rankin will be top 400. Do you think she will play some more 25s?? If so, which ones. Or will she consider 50s??

just found Lauren Davis, who won 2010 Orange Bowl, is now a top 200 player after first round win at IW yesterday, so if Anett wants to make that push and has the chance to do so, why not?

agreed
and i am not criticising lauren, she is a great persona and has a really good game but the god have blessed anett with a bigger physique so from a younger age hopefully she can match it with the big ones. And lauren has an easy second round which is great to see :)

1 or 2 players are withdrawing everyday
The field is gradually weakening
Anett now has a good chance to go far, or even win if she plays as well as fed cup

The tournament has now weakened considerably. There will be some unranked players in qualifying and the last direct acceptance is below 300. Anett has a great chance now. A semi or final is do able if she can replicate fed cup form. Is it just me or does anett not play as well at home (this years tallinn 10k, fed cup??)

Anett's draw in Bath :rolleyes:

Elitsa KOSTOVA (BUL) [1]
Patrycja SANDUSKA (POL) (Q)
Anett KONTAVEIT (EST) (JE)
Alize LIM (FRA)

Her first match is probably on Wednesday.

A very good draw for anett if she can get past elitsa. If she can get past the second round (i dont see her losing first round if she can gain any type of good form), the semi finals is very much possible

Not the worst draw IMO. Lim has been out of form lately, hopefully Anett beats her :)

If anett can get past elitsa (who actually also isnt in good form, lost first round KL to rogowska 60 64!!) then i dont see why she cant make the semis or even win the whole thing. In quarters she has Stanciute who is really bad then she has either beck or glushko in semis. I dont see her losing a match if she beats kostova, cause she will need to play quality tennis to get past kostova, meaning she can beat the others. muusa was right about her match being on wednseday.

It confuses me as to why she didnt enter dubs cause there was a spot left, else there would be no bye

Also, theye are showing live streaming of court 1 atp so later on hopefully they show some womens too :)
then ill get to see anett on tv :)
The link is below
http://www.lta.org.uk/fans-major-events/AEGON-GB-Pro-Series/Watch-LIVE/

Most likely they will put only one women´s match on that court and turn the stream on only after that match is over.

that sucks. why though? the womens tournament isnt that match worse than the mens
At least there are livescores: http://www.protennislive.com/framesetperpc.asp?lang=en&ref=www.atpworldtour.com

Anett and the gang at fed cup :)

nice find, love it :cool:

Her schedule should look like:
Bath, Trofeo, La Marsa, Chiasso, RG, (maybe a challenger like marseille in the middle) Wimbledon

Anett will start very soon :)

Anett wins 64 61!!
Her Ranking will got to approximately 550 but ifshe beats her opponent who will probably be a qualifier, she will go up to around 520.
SF: Approx 480
F: Approx 450
W: Approx. 400

Good job, Anett! Also, currently it looks like Kostova has some trouble with the qualifier..

well done Anett :)

Tomorrow Anett plays first match on court 1. It is followed by men's match. Let's see if there will be any video stream, but I guess it is a small hope. Anyway, at least we have livescore :)

Another good win from Anett, defeated Sanduska 60 62!

Anett obviously wanted a challenge. If she had played 25K Moscow, she would have almost definately won. Even la MArsa. But given her form here, I see no reason why she shouldnt be top 100 by er 18th birthday :)

Now at around 520 in rankings :)

Anett's coming along nicely. :)

Easy win, hopefully she keeps playing confident and beats them all :bounce:

im going to bath.
but not the first week, the 2nd week when it is a 25k. hope she is playing.

Have you seen any of anett??

Anett to play Marcinkevica :)
She defeated Lina 63 64
Will be on tomorrow :)
Good luck :cheer:

Anett second on court 5 against marcinkevica. The first match starts at 11 (10:00 PM our time) so I may miss it :(
Anetts section of the draw has really opened up.
QF: Kontaveit vs Marcinkevica
SF: Kontaveit vs Beck/Glushko
F: Kontaveit vs Malek/Vrjlic/Konta/Bertens
I dont see Bertens getting past Konta and Konta is a massive choker so Anett stands a great chance
Sh should be top 200 by end of year if she keeps up this form :)
SHe shouldve entered doubles though

SF: Kontaveit vs Beck/Glushko
F: Kontaveit vs Malek/Vrjlic/Konta/Bertens
I dont see Bertens getting past Konta and Konta is a massive choker so Anett stands a great chance
Sh should be top 200 by end of year if she keeps up this form :)
SHe shouldve entered doubles though

Final between Konta and Kontaveit would be funny :)
Hopefully Anett can get to semis at least, 24 points would already be a very good achievement from this tournament - it's like defending two 10k wins.

Have you seen any of anett??

Disappointed today. Got there at 10.55am and she was already finished :sad:.lol

Did get some pics and vids though later.

Thanks so much :)
Her coaches name is marten tamla
will you see her today vs marcinkevica??

Final between Konta and Kontaveit would be funny :)
Hopefully Anett can get to semis at least, 24 points would already be a very good achievement from this tournament - it's like defending two 10k wins.

Also good prize money for 1 week (not as muchn as winning 2 10ks but less accomodation)
She should own the La Marsa field :)

Lost to Marcinkevica 06 16. What a nightmare to win only one game :help:
How is this even possible, this kind of overnight transformation from good to worst.
Btw, when she played Azarenka last year, the result was 26 06.

Diana Marcinkevica def. Anett kontaveit 60 61 :(:sad:
I have no idea where this came from. Diana has been so far out of form (*lost to clothilde de bernadi, a girl who anett beat 1 and 3, 64 60. she also lost in straight sets to 14 year old Belinda Bencic)
Even this week, she won 75 in third against British wildcard in final round of qualifying

Lost to Marcinkevica 06 16. What a nightmare to win only one game :help:
How is this even possible, this kind of overnight transformation from good to worst.
Btw, when she played Azarenka last year, the result was 26 06.

When I saw that Anett lost first set 60, I thought they might have gotten the scorecards confused
Anyway, such a shame. This will ruin her confidence, losing to a player of similar rank so convincingly
I do think that she probably played horrifically though

Well, this result sucks of course. Who knows what happened, and if something happened at all. As they say there's more to learn from a loss.

Still
Something has to have gone wron
Marccinkevica isnt really that good
TBH, I thought anett would breeze through the match 2 and 2 or something
I would understand if she lost in a tight 2 setter or a 3 setter but this!! Given how many opportunities she had, id say that she just hit piles and piles of unforced errors with no winners

I was just looking at the juniors ranking. She'll lose the RU 100 points on Monday, and drops out of top 10.

Strangely there were some unfamiliar names (to me) quite high, like Kulichokva #7, and McPhillips #11.

Kulichkova whored up points at abierto jiuvenil (no qualies for a GA :tape:) as did mcphilips but mcphilips also megawhored the G1s afterwards and this years Brazil G2s. I find it funny how many good tournaments are in America (North and South) given the amount of good players from the region. I also find it funny that in 1 year, there went from being 4 Non-Grand Slam GAs on Hard to just 1 :haha:

Anett down to 19 in rankings. Such a shame that players who are so much worse like Danilina whore points to get up to no. 4. Still, if she wants to win a GS, she will have to beat them all anyway :)
How embarrasing that haddad maia is ahead :(
Anyway, out of people who will actually play GS, anett will probably scrape a top 8 seed

She is a part time player at 6th Sense (Henin´s) academy now.

how do you know that??? its not on the 6th sense website and they list part time players

Thanks. It was a good move to not move their permanently, she needs to have a life and marten seems like a good coach :)
But why isnt she on the website???

do you cap matches because if you do i can find links for junior matches. in australia, they televised the wimbledon junior finals boys and girls and the youth olympics but not all the tennis (they had other events too)

Anett has a twitter page :)

the field in Tuni is inexplicably hard!!!
Last direct acceptance is top 200 :scared:
hopefully a lot of withdrawals. Of course Yakimova came in for a whore :facepalm:

Oh, this is bad :sad:

not a good choice for Anett :(

She seems to intentionally pick the events with strong fields :confused: She played Bath, where she could have played La Marsa (well yes, her Bath draw turned out to be very good in the end). She plays Tunis in the week where it is one of the two 25k-s in the world (and close to Europe, the other one is in South-America), why not Uzbekistan or sth a week before? Then she plays Chiasso which will probably be as packed also.

I know that in the end it doesn't matter as she should be able to beat those top 200 players anyway if she wants to be a top 100-200 player, but currently she just needs some more points quickly to even get to those future 25k events directly when the JE-s are used up.

For example Donna Vekic played some 25k-s in Nigeria last year and one in India this year, got a lot of points using the advantage of a bit weaker fields and now she is almost top 300.

Copenhagen Qualifying

(4)Mihaela Buzarnescu (ROU) v Rika Fujiwara (JPN)
Olga Puchkova (RUS) v Annika Beck (GER)
(wc)Anett Kontaveit (EST) v Lenka Wienerova (SVK)
Marta Domachowska (POL) v (7)Kristina Mladenovic (FRA)

7 years since Estonian not named Kaia/Maret/Margit tried WTA.

Get out!:bolt:

This WC seems out of a blue a bit, but it's great she gets to try the waters a bit. Best of luck against Wienerova!


The Tunis 25k has actually many youngsters on the list: Putintseva, Mladenovic, Garcia, Krunic, Beck. She's in a good company.

Exciting WTA debut! :eek: :)

Where did that come from? :eek:
Anyway, just looked at the schedule - first match on Centre Court at 10:00.

Anett won 64 61 :yeah:

Anett won 64 61!!! Congratulations on the successful WTA debut :)

Very nice win:)

:yeah:

Amazing! :D

Astonishing :worship:
Glad for her :bounce:

Seemed like a very nervy start, made 3 DFs in the first service game. Lots of breaks in the first set in general.

WTA debut, and a win. Great stuff:yeah:

6 points in the bag:dance:

Next up: Kristina Mladenovic

congrats Anett, saw her training when went to see Kaia training for the tournament..She looked good, hope she can bag some other decent wins

whoa! So happy for her :bounce:

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
GO ANETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
It would have been nice if she told us though :haha:
Keep it up!!!!
Up 3-0 vs Mladenovic
Is she playing dubs with Kaia????

She is off to a fast start 4-0 :D

She is off to a fast start 4-0 :D

Visit live score thread for discussions

Just came here and saw Anett is leading 5-0 and has only lost 1 point on her serve so far :eek: Keep rocking :rocker2:

Beat Mladenovic 6-1 6-7(6) 6-3 :yeah:

One of her best wins, if not the best. Should have converted one of three match-points in the second set, but oh well ;)

Did lose 2 points on serve in set one and 1 point in third :eek:

and 28 in set two :lol:

Anett beat Mladenovic 61 67 63!!!!
It was worrying after the second as she had at least 2 serving at 5-4 and 1 in the tiebreak, but she dominated the second (lost 1 point on serve!!!!!!)
Has a great shot at maindraw. I wanted her to play here but I thought she wouldnt because she didnt release it in her schedule
Go Anett!!! :cheer:

Beat Mladenovic 6-1 6-7(6) 6-3 :yeah:

IMO, Paszek/Schoofs was better

Yes, GOAT serving (or crap ROS:oh: from the other side) in 1st and 2nd set.

10 points in the bag:dance:

I think Annika Beck will be tougher though.

:eek: Impressive! :worship: Kristina played a very solid 1st round...

IMO, Paszek/Schoofs was better

Equally impressive I think so happy for her :)

Yes, GOAT serving (or crap ROS:oh: from the other side) in 1st and 2nd set.

I think Annika Beck will be tougher though.

She will play Annika Beck next? So looking forward to that match!

I suppose Beck will be much of a threat for Anett than Kristina was. But still, our girl has her chances:bounce:

If the match is on centre court before a maindraw, there might be a live stream. Apparently Annika is a counter puncher who gets everything back so either Nett will lose like against marcinkevica or she can hit throug her. I am so excited for a possible maindraw!!!! If only she could have replaced putintsrva an faced barbat first round :haha:

I suppose Beck will be much of a threat for Anett than Kristina was. But still, our girl has her chances:bounce:

Btw I have been to Sibiu, when it was Capitol of culture

Btw I have been to Sibiu, when it was Capitol of culture

I haven't been in Sibiu when it was the capital of culture to be honest :lol:
I'm only studying here, so spending much more time here than home.

Did you like it?:D

Another good win for Anett, really happy for her! But the next opponent is quite tough, Annika Beck has played in three 25k finals this year already and the few losses have been to top 200 players only.
Anyway, now Anett's ranking goes up to 485 or so and by the end of April she has a realistic chance to aim for top 400 if she gets at least some wins in Tunis and Chiasso.

So Anett lost after her serve totally disappeared. Well, I actually did not believe she'd win anyway, but after that first set my hopes went up of course. Too bad about the bagel though, that is now her second during a short period of time :(

Next up Tunis and onto clay. Interesting to see what she can produce there.

Anett lost 46 63 60. She was leading 64 33 Game point when everything fell apart (she got nroken the last 7 service games of the match :tape:)

First, Dan Doe, I did like Sibiu. It was a beautiful eritage town, my second favourite place in Romania behind Sinaia, a ski resort near Brasov. It was much nicer than Arad and timisiora was nice but not as nice. Second, I think that Anett has to think of a better schedule after her loss to Annika today. I think its great that she is trying the big stae as she is more than capable but I think she has to cut out what shes doing with playingg ridiculously hard 25ks. She can get the seame experience playing easier WTAs or 50-100ks. I mean if she makes QF at tunis and chiasso that would be an achievement, and she would only gain 28 ranking points and about 1000 in cash. if she played for example Bastad and Baku, she could make the maindraw and maybe win a round, putting her ranking points at around 50 and prize money at around 3000. I think its good she want to play hard opponents, it does nothing but good, but if you are only allowed 12 a year, you should try and make the most out of them you can.

A schedule for example could be:
Australia G1
Australian Open
Fed Cup
10K Tallinn
25K Bath
WTA Copenhagen
25K Tunis
25K Chiasso
Trofeo Bonfiglio
French Open
25K Kristinehamm
25K Ystad
Wimbledon
WTA Bastad
WTA Baku

Thats a start and if she played those tournaments she could easily be top 250 by the end of the year. n Baku, a WTA 2nd round or QF is almost on the cards given last years draw and you cant really expect this years to be any better

Just a comment her on Diana Marcinkevica, how badly must anett have played to have lost so badly!!!! Diana just lost 2nd round of a 10k in coratia to someone just inside the top 800 in straight sets. She also lost to belinda bencic, a swiss junior this year in straight sets and she lost to clothile de bernardi in amiens 60 64 who anett beat 1 and 3 in stockholm. That loss simply puzzles me.

Some comments from her coach Märten Tamla. Says that Anett was a bit tired from the previous matches (and that caused the problems on serve) and that game point she had in the second set on 3-3 was about 3-4cm out. Says that the tournament overall was a positive experience of course.

Yea, it is a real mystery. Not the general fact that she lost, but how she lost. Anett must have had a really really bad day.

Anett updated her facebook page :cheer:
http://www.facebook.com/anettkontaveit.tennis

Tamla said about the loss to Marcinkevica that he doesn't make a big deal out of it, Diana just had a super day (also admitted herself after the match).

The match against Mladenovic had been tough. Anett was serving very well, and had better movement, so when she was able to keep the ball in play, the points went her way.

in Estonian: http://ohtuleht.ee/472039

Yeah, I guess it was just out of the blue. It still shocks me though. Anyway, why didnt anett say she would play copenhagen???

typical junior results, btw, Diana is definitely not that bad

Maybe no one asked her?:oh:

Probably they didn't know if they'd get the WC (she/her coach talked about the schedule sometime in January/February if I recall). It's not like they give weekly updates in the press/somewhere else about what's new:p

So does anyone think that Anett will play any more Wtas this year. I think that she should play at least 1 more as she was unlucky to get annika and she was unlucky not to win. I think she could have beaten all of the qualifiers on her day

True. They still havent changed the schedule of tunis and chiasso plus GA trofeo and Roland Garros. I wouldnt be surprised if an Italian 25K gets slipped in there somewhere. Anyway, now that anett is updating her facebook page, she might be more up to date :)

Depends on whether she will get any wildcards, but I guess why not. Bastad in July could be an option..? At first I did not believe she'd play any this year, but after this successful debut I'd rather think she will try if given a chance.

But does anyone know how many wildcards could she theoretically get/use during one year? Was it limited to 2-3 or sth like that?

Geographically I guess Copenhagen in Denmark and Bastad in Sweden are the closest WTA events to Estonia. Maybe Swedes will give her a WC:shrug:

Her draw here could have been much tougher I think, had she landed in the Tsurenko/Chakvetadze section, or even against Czink.

According to 2012 WTA rulebook, she is allowed to accept 4 wildards into ITF or WTA events (JE not included)
Theoretically, she could play 3 more WTAs and play Baku with qualifyin as she would make maindraw

She could also play Belle challenge after US Open but I dont think she should play US Open. Its too expensive to travelt for just 2 or 3 tournaments. I hope that next year her ranking is high enough for aussie open qualies, that would be cool

Great, 4 is quite a lot, considering she can play 12 altogether. Even if not WTA, then maybe some wildcards to bigger ITFs.

Btw, the new photo on Anett's facebook fanpage is really pretty :hearts:
If only she updated the page after losses as well :oh: A great example here is Jürgen Zopp who always writes a bit of analysis or comments even when he loses.

Her coach told that it was a close match, long rallies from the beginning of the match. On 3-3 in the 2nd set she had a gp but unfortunately the ball landed 3-4 cm out. And she was too tired in 3rd set.

That would have been like a break given that no one was holding serve
Annika got an out of form Martic so anett had a shot at the second round where she would have had pervak. It might have been streamed on centre court :sad:

The tunis field is getting considerably weaker which is good:

About her schedule it says that after Tunis and Chiasso she will play a couple of juniors tournaments before RG.

So she isnt just playing Trofeo GA?? Thats good. She needs a good seeding for Roland Garros
If she is top 8 seed, and draws Danilina ion quarters, she might be able to win!!!

First, Dan Doe, I did like Sibiu. It was a beautiful eritage town, my second favourite place in Romania behind Sinaia, a ski resort near Brasov. It was much nicer than Arad and Timisoara was nice but not as nice.

Don't underestimate Belinda:mad: Her win over Marcinkevica wasn't so shocking. She won 6-1 6-3 against another top 400 player just 2 days ago.
Anett surely had some unknown issues, otherwise she couldn't have lost so bad against Diana.

Well, there is some tough competition. Khromacheva, Putintseva, Bouchard, Barty and Jabeur are all great claycourt players. Townsand and Min are not, but...well, they shouldn't be underestimated. No other player than those should be a threat for Anett. So let's see who's playing RG and who's not.

I doubt Jabeur and Min are playing, maybe Barty also not as she even didn't play junior AO on her home ground (still a major puzzle for me why). As for the rest, they probably do play, but yea, we have to wait.. Of them Anett has never beaten Khromacheva and Townsend.

Anett musnt like the left handers. She beat Barty at French Open though and loves clay (beat Putintseva and Bouchard on clay at orange bowl)
Taylor I dont think can beat Anett in clay cause Outdoor hard is probably anetts 3rd best surface (behind indoor hard and clay) whereas its taylors best. Grace Min has given up on juniors

The field in Tunis is soooo much weaker now (no alternates!!!!)
A Quarter Final or Semi Final is a very achievable result here, if she plays like she did in copenhagen

If Anett plays Baku, she could almost make a quarter final!!

The fact, that the field is weakening is ofcourse good! But i think that Anett can surely win even these stronger opponents with her very good game.
I can talk with Anett, so i'll ask her after tournaments what are her thoughts and all that, so i'll tell you guys everytime i hear something new from her :)

Thanks nimona123. This is all great news. I am sure that she would love to see our positive comments :)
Can you please also ask her if she plans on playing more WTA???

Anetts chiasso field released tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully weaker than last years
I think that if she can get 60 points approximately (winner in tunis and quarters in chiasso or semis in chiasso finals in tunis) that would be a good result. I have thought of a potentially good schedule (i hope she reads and chooses this one ;):
1. 25K Tunis
2. 25K Chiasso
3. Week Off
4. G1 Italy
5. GA Italy
6. Week Off
7. French Open
8. Week Off
9. 25K Kristinehamm
10. Week Off/G1 Roehampton
11. Wimbledon
12. Week Off
13. WTA Bastad
14. WTA Baku

I know its quite packed but I belive that it gets the most out of the tournaments

My reasoning:
1 + 2: I wouldnt have put these but shes already committed
3 + 4 + 5: She can head to Italy and play some matches to get used to teh flow of juniors again and get her ranking up
6 + 7: She could play Astrid Bowl in week 6 but 6 tournaments in 7 weeks is hard work especially if your reaching the last few days of every one. Plus, the ranking points for this tournament dont count for French Open Seedings. French Open is a good choice and if she can get around 1000 Points alltogether from these junior events (including doubles) she might get more junior exempts for next year, if she needs them
8 + 9: It would be nice to play an easier 25K which it wwill be because all the players in the top 220 will be a wimbly qualies and she should get into maindraw
10: I think she should have a week off and practice for wimbledon instead of going from clay to grass in potentially a day, especially when she hasnt had much experience on grass. It has worked for champions like sharapova and willimas in the past
11: Wimbledon juniors may be her last slam
12: Week off for training
13 + 14: Weaker Wtas which she can play to get some more experience. A WC may be necessary for Bastad but I highly doubt it for Baku. She has a good chance of making some Maindraws and except for the quick change of surface, these tournaments would be perfect. To add to the normal weakness of these tournaments, they also collide with the US hardcourt swing this year due to olympics, meaning they will be even weaker

Welcome Nimona!
I honestly don't think it's a wise idea to tell her about the forum :scratch:

If you do, only mention this thread. Thanks to me there are many haters :sad:

A very legitimate point. Im hoping ether copenhagen or bastad give her a wildcard due to her form. shed almost make copenhagen qualies with her ranking!!!

My dream is half true :haha:

I am like Mia Nicole Eklund. My father is Estonian, my mother is Dutch and I live in Australia. My parents thought they should teach me these languages. Also, Sabine Lisicki is my cousin.

BTW, just so you know, Sabine Lisicki is actually my cousin

Lisicki's of a Polish heritage from her father side. Is her mother Dutch? (She can't be Estonian, or the media would have picked it up a long time ago:lol:)

Well not by blood. My Dutch mothers Brother is married to Sabines Aunt (her moms sister)
Which means that Sabine and I have a mutual cousin.

So what do you think of my schedule. I want opinions!!!!!
Everyone else should make one too, to give Anett inspiration!!!


Anett could have made Quarters of Copenhagen given the draw!!!! She has the game to beat an out of form Martic and then Konta :tape:
Then she could have faced off with Niculescu and won that. Then Wozniacki
Its as if god each day wants us to feel worse about that groundstroke 3-4 inches out :(

An article and a video.

When asked about playing more WTA-s her coach says that out of 4 allowed wildcards they have now used 1 and that they will surely try to get more.

EXCITING!!!!! If only Estonia had a WTA, or a 50-100K challeneger or even a 25K challenger given the tournaments anett is playing right now!!! I like that shes training in estonia and not becoming a bollitieri girl!!! Her and Marten seem to be getting on well. Its weird that shes not training on clay. I mean, if it's been raining in tallinn, dont tere tennisekeskus (where she was just playing) have indoor clay courts???

Yes, but i think we don't have to think about these things..like she would have made the quarters, no need :) it's always bad to loose! but we just have to be patient and see what she can do in the future :)

and muusa already told us about the WC-s, so i'm not gonna ask her about that :)

I shouldnt say what if, but its hared not too
I would be very interested in her schedule after roland garros because there are so many options
The list has basically stayed stationary in the last day, no major withdrawels. Anett has a good shot at this tournaments, lets hope she can pick up off last years clay form (her last match was winning savitaipale!!!)

Yeah, Tere does have indoor clay, I was wondering the same but maybe they couldn't film there or anything...

Also, LOL, I mean you wouldn't know but it was just snowing few days ago.. and today it is first time over 11C in Tallinn.. no outdoor clay prepared yet.

geez. Im happy I live in Australia

So, does anyone here know if there are any thoughts of a higher level challenger by ETL???
Also, I was wondering why they didnt put womens on clay in coordination with mens tournament. Sure to attract more numbers that way.

Entry list for Chiasso should have been out 33 minutes ago :fiery:

Entry list for Chiasso should have been out 33 minutes ago :fiery:

I think the date and time on the ITF page is the deadline for the players to apply. I can only guess that after that the organizers will upload the list, but no one can tell when they get to it. Usually it is published in the evening of the deadline day.

Lets hope so
If the LDA isnt int the top 120, the field will be worse than last years :)

Chiasso list is out

http://beta.itftennis.com/ITF/Web/UserControls/Tournaments/TournamentEntryList.aspx?TCC=WT&EventId=1100159980&_=1334259510671

Everyone is with priority 1, so it should´t get much weaker. MD cut will probably similar to last year.

Lets hope so
If the LDA isnt int the top 120, the field will be worse than last years :)

Last direct entry was #206 in 2011.

In comparison with the other tournaments that week, the last direct acceptances as of now - Moscow 25k #246, Gifu 50k #241, Indian Harbour Beach 50k #188 :spit:

Last direct entry was #206 in 2011.

WOW!!!! SO many priority 1s. When I said if its 120 it would be ok, I hoped that the LDA would go down about 80 spots. But theyre al priority 1s!!!!! The real question is why do these players want to play packed 25ks, where if you win you get nothing but a bit of confidence and you have a legitimate chance to lose first round. Do they give an appearance fee to everyone or give them hospitality in a 5 star hotel???

Silly, silly anett!!! SHe should have played moscow again, although I understand that this tournament is close to Italy. Anyway, with her great copenhagen form, maybe she can do well here.

nimona, have you interviewed anett yet???

no, sorry guys, she hasn't answered me yet. :( and i'm busy all the time, can't visit that place here that often..i'll try my best
