:oh:

Was Seed 5 at 25K Moscow this week, but lost in R1 to (WC)Shakhlo Saidova 0-6 6-7(4) :( :eek:

She's playing 25K Namangan this week, and she's in QF as Seed 6, after wins over Artamonova in R1 and Sezer in R2, all in straight sets. :)

Now facing the top seed Alexandra Panova in QF, Panova is in bad form and wasn't really impressive in her previous matches, so I think she has a chance! :)

She lost 6-3 4-6 4-6 :hug: good week :)

Good week for her. :yeah: Was she injured for a few weeks beforehand? :(
