Golovin def. Smashnova Pistoelsi: 6-2 6-3

:woohoo: :) :bounce: :banana: :yeah:

Well done Tati! :yeah: :D

wow, that's an incredible win for a girl so young. I thought she had been stalling recently, good for her.

I first saw Tatiana at Junior Wimbledon '02, the same tournament I first saw Maria Sharapova... and I predicted back then that those two would battle it out at the very top. Tati's something special, and she's just getting started :D

Great result :D

At least one wild card to 15 year old was not wasted :rolleyes:


good luck in the next round

ALLEZ TATI!!!!!!!!! :hearts::bounce:

Tatiana :) But Anna :o :tape:

When your game is solely based on getting the ball back in the court and you make 5 winners compared to 25 errors, that is what should be expected.

Can Anna even play at grand slams?

Tough fight against one of the toughest people on tour:cool:

I guess Tatiana is making her getting a maindraw wildcard look like a good move. :D

well done tatiana!

Forza Golovin!

that's a huge surprise to me. i know golovin is very talented, but i thought that such an unexperienced player would go down against someone like smashnova. easily.
so, big congrats to her.

Anna :( :sad:

TA made a right decition on her WC ;)

Well done!!

I never saw her play


does she have a chance against Lina?

AGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Anna :( What the heck???????????

OMG!!!!! I can't be happier right now!!!! :sad: :sad: congrats Tati!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

I'm not surprised, Golovin is so talented and shes in good form, while Anna P is so crap at Grand Slams, at least in the last few years. Shes only beaten either slumping or injured players at GS events recently :rolleyes:

that's a huge surprise to me. i know golovin is very talented, but i thought that such an unexperienced player would go down against someone like smashnova. easily.


Exactly what I thought myself :o

2 wins at AO lifted her ranking from 354 to around 180... not bad at all.
