Misa is playing WTA Memphis this week and has drawn Elena Baltacha in Round 1.
She lost to her 3-6 3-6 at the fed cup, but she was very tired from her match against Peer, so I think she can beat her. And it's indoors, so that favours her :)

Tuned in while she was trailing 1-4. Broke back after a really close game and then a love game with a great couple of aggressive points. :yeah:

And another break after some nice retrieving. Racquet thrown by Olga. Keep it up! Wonder how the first games were so rusty.

Olga got her head back in again it seems. Held firmly for 5-5. I like Misa's FH angles but her movement and shot selection have to improve.
Andiyan
Feb 21st, 2012, 10:52 PM
3 aces in the 11th game to hold for 6-5 :yeah:

Very sloppy 12th game. UEs :silly: love game for 6-6.

Replay the point after a point Misa had already won at *2-1. Still won the next pt though. 3-2* now

3 UE's from Olga and a serve-winner from Misa to clear the set 7-6(2) :cheer:

Both had their ups and downs in this set. Misa playing quite solid so far

Misa :woohoo:
Followed the whole match, she was off to a bad start but she got into it after she got down 1-4. :yeah:
Good luck vs. Erakovic!
Elwin.

Marina will be very tough. Marina has a big service, and Misa isn't a good returner. Will be very difficult for her.
I think she has the edge from the baseline though.
*Praying that this match will be played at Grandstand, want to see it live :hysteric:

Misa loses 4-6 7-6(2) 4-6 :sad: :hug:
Great fighting, but her serve was a bit inconsistent while Erakovic was imperious on her own serve, who firing 13 aces.
Well, positively seen, she gets a bit of rest this way to fuel up going to Acapulco. :)
Elwin.
Feb 23rd, 2012, 06:22 PM
Misa :sad: Bummed about this loss, because she had her chances. Still, a good tournament in singles. Reached the QF :yeah: Plus let's not forget that Marina is really good indoors.
