Bychkova is Back in Opening Win at WTA Tashkent

Russian Ekaterina Bychkova lived up to her top seeding Wednesday at the WTA stop in Tashkent, defeating India's Shikha Uberoi in straight sets to advance into the second round.

Bychkova had to wait until Wednesday for her first match as Uberoi had to fly in from playing in the doubles final at Guangzhou.

"All the waiting doesn't help," Bychkova said. "Neither of us played our best."

(1) Ekaterina Bychkova (RUS) d. (WC) Evgeniya Rodina (RUS) 46 61 63

First wta SF for Katya :)

Katya :clap2:

Now, take out Krajicek! :D

Krajicek d. Katya 6-1 6-3 :sad: :shrug:

That means she's going to play KC.

every cloud has its silver lining

Katya :sad: but now get to Moscow ASAP and play qualies :)

Krajicek d. Katya 6-1 6-3 :sad: :shrug:

:sad:

It's not easy when you played yesterday a different tournament on a different surface. Really wondering, isn't it better to change the surface of Tashkent? Would be better Tashkent is played indoors, rather on carpet than Hardcourt.

Kremlin Cup

Katya lost 6/4 6/1 against Eva Birnerova in the 1st round of qualies at Moscow :sad: :bigcry: :sad: :sobbing: She must have been tired of the trip or not fit to indoors like KV feared :(

nice pic :)

Katya is playing Hasselt and will meet Kim in the 1st round :fiery:

Her current vBetting odds are 75/2 :help:

Cause an upset!!! :cool:

Go and Win Katya!!!

Another top 10 winn will help to sound yr name louder!!!!

To beat Kim in Belgium, what can be better for you this time, Katya :devil:
After that you can lose yr second rnd match again, no problem

Kim d. Katya 6-1 6-3 :sad:

I expect Katya to keep moving up the rankings next year

Hopefully she will learn to string some wins together

hopes are died

Katya lost so easly

"There was definitely a bit of rustiness there tonight," Clijsters said. "She's a good player, she beat [Svetlana] Kuznetsova at the US Open, and she surprised me with her shots sometimes."

The 22-year-old Belgian has won 29 of 31 matches since Wimbledon.

Getting to Know...
Ekaterina Bychkova

Russia's Ekaterina Bychkova (http://www.wtatour.com/players/playerprofiles/PlayerBio.asp?ID=&EntityID=1&CustomerID=0&OrderID=0&ReturnURL=&PlayerID=20706) has taken some giant leaps in recent weeks on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. Shortly after making her Top 100 debut on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Singles Rankings in the summer, the 20-year-old stunned defending US Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first round at Flushing Meadows, her career-first victory over a Top 10 player. Although she fell in the second round at the year's final Grand Slam, she surged from No.97 to No.75 in the rankings afterwards. In her next event in Bali, Bychkova ousted Indian sensation Sania Mirza in the first round before falling in the second round. As the top seed this past week in Tashkent, she reached her career-first Tour semifinal before falling to eventual winner Michaella Krajicek.

The talkative, always-enthusiastic Bychkova was more than happy to talk to WTATour.com at the recent Tour stop in Bali.

How did you get started playing tennis?
I started playing when I was six-and-a-half. My mother decided I should try tennis; I'm not sure why, because she didn't play herself, but I'm glad she introduced me to it. I played at Spartak club for a while, and that's where I worked with Aleksander Krayshkin.

Did you get to hit with the other players at Spartak who are now stars on the Tour?
Not so much. There are photos on the walls at the club of (Anastasia) Myskina, (Elena) Dementieva, (Dinara) Safina and (Svetlana) Kuznetsova. I've hit with Dinara and Sveta several times, but not with the older players.

How did you juggle playing tennis and your studies?
It was difficult at times. I went to school from 8am to 2pm, then I would go to practice. I missed school from time to time when I went to tournaments, but I managed to keep up with my studies.

Did you travel overseas very much when you were playing juniors?
Yes, I went to tournaments mainly in Europe. I would compete in about 12 tournaments a year.

When was your first trip to the United States? What was that like?
It was when I went to Indian Wells this year. It was great; the weather in California is really good, and we stayed with a family while we were there, who were really nice. I still keep in touch with them. But my first trip to New York (for the US Open) was amazing. For the first two days I was walking around Manhattan in a daze – all the tall buildings, the taxi cabs, the noise and the people. It was just like in the movies; exactly like I imagined it!

Of course you had that great result at the US Open. When you saw the draw before the tournament began, what did you think?
I thought that maybe I was having a little bit of bad luck, but I was looking forward to the match. Sveta and I are both from Russia, and we're about the same age, but obviously she has a lot more experience than me; she was the defending champion! I think that was a bad thing for her, because everyone expected her to win, but I just went out there to try my best and have fun. I thought maybe somewhere back in my mind that I could win. Why not?!

And when you beat her, what was your feeling?
It was unbelievable. As I was coming off the court I was shaking; I was trying to sign autographs and I could barely hold the pen! I think the next couple of days I was in shock. The night I beat her I hardly slept because I was getting phone calls and text messages from Russia all night. It was like I won the whole US Open! I tried to tell myself it was just one match, and after I lost in the next round I was disappointed, but I was still in shock. It was an amazing time.

Do you think the fact that you were the underdog helped you?
Possibly. Like I said, we're about the same age, but Sveta has had more experience than me. We used to play against each other when we were younger, but in the past couple of years she hasn't seen me play much. Of course, I've seen her play quite a bit.

What's your favorite city to visit?
That would definitely be Paris. It's just so beautiful, and wonderful for sightseeing. I love going to Notre Dame, visiting the museums, and the shopping too! I think I know the Paris Metro better than the Moscow Metro! I really like visiting that city and being a part of the atmosphere there.

What goals have you set for yourself?
My goal is to stay in the Top 100, and to keep working hard, so I can get into the Top 50. After that, we'll see what happens.

What types of off-court training do you do?
I do a lot of running and sprinting. I also jump rope for my footwork, and when I'm not at an event I also like to swim.

Wow Katya started at the big Spartak Tennis Club.
Even though she's on the Poitiers list (happily it's indoors HC). Not so sure she's going to play there. Has to pay a fine too. Most important Katya's ready to do it the hard way. What she proved vs. Sveta/Kim/ and F. Schiavone. That's the best way to make progress, it's not necessary having the same schedule as E. Loit. E. Loit hasn't made any progress at all by doing it the easy way. GO Katya.

Katya is top seed in $50,000 Bergamo! Good Luck and earn some more points to move in top 50 next season!!!

New season for Katya starts with match vs Pennetta at Gold Coast:

(5) Golovin vs. (WC) Pratt
Bammer vs. Bohmova
Vinci vs. Li
Bychkova vs. (4) Pennetta

Whatever happens against F. Pennetta, Katya does it the hard way. That's the best to progress. Nothing be ruled out vs. F. Pennetta.

Katya lost 26 46 :sad: :( :(

I was sure she would win :sad:
Is she going to play some tournaments before Australian open?

Katya :sad:

Still have a time to gather some points before summer

Katya plays Ondraskova on sunday in Canberra.

Good luck!!! :)

Easy win :yeah: Keep up Katya :bigclap: :clap2:

Katya is in QF after Rodionovas withdraw

Katya got what she needed most , her first round win vs. Ondraskova. :D Shame there won't be a 2nd round tie with Rodionova. At least Katya got what she needs, into QF of Canberra.

Good Luck tomorrow ! Hope Katya will be able to beat Anabel!

Katya's on the Tokyo list. Probably playing Qual. Looks Katya does it the hard way, best way to progress. About carpet it's better the 200th ranked playing Qual like Alla who can play on carpet than a top 60 ranked who hasn't done anything on carpet. Looks like Vera D. is not going to play Tokyo, C. Castano and Nuria are. :mad:

Seems Katya has changed her mind

She is in the draw of $75k in italy

Here her part of the draw:

(3)Ekaterina Bychkova (RUS) v Yvonne Meusburger (AUT)
Eva Birnerova (CZE) v Q

Camille Pin (FRA) v Tatiana Poutchek (BLR)
(5)Zuzana Ondraskova (CZE) v Martina Muller (GER)

Katya will doubles with Marta

(3)Hradecka/Uhlirova v Blahotova/Kustava
Schaul/Voskoboeva v Bychkova/Domachowska

Meusburger d. Bychkova 76(1) 26 75
:help: :help: :fiery:

Katya had one SP in first set - wasted it

Was serving for match in FS - wasted

Another wasted win

:rolleyes:

These 75k's can be difficult. But she needs points.
It's much easier to make a schedule when you're in the top 50.

Katya :sad: :sad: :sad:
Still hope for doubles...

Katya :crying2:

Gotta close out those matches :sad:

Katya and Marta won their first round match against Schaul/Voskoboeva in straight sets :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Pattaya -

1-ZVONAREVA Vera RUS vs WC-SUAREZ Paola ARG
WC-VIRATPRASERT Suchanan THA vs BAMMER Sybille AUT

WC-NAGYOVA Henrieta SVK vs BYCHKOVA Ekaterina RUS
6-ZHENG Jie CHN vs CZINK Melinda HUN

I think the draw is rather good for Katya, at least she can easily beat Nagyova :wavey:

A potential QF meeting with Bepa :sad:

Still, a nice draw :yeah:

GOOD DRAW

but again all depends on Katya

Congrats Katya!!! 6-1 7-5 win over Nagiova being 2-5 in the second set

A potential QF meeting with Bepa :sad:

Still, a nice draw :yeah:
Vera lost to Suarez, so the draw became more perfect for Katya ;)

Vera lost to Suarez, so the draw became more perfect for Katya ;)


but don't forget that it's Katya Bychkova who seems always celebrate her first win too much

But congrats with the start

Well done Katya :yeah: :bigclap: :D Since Vera lost,I'll cheer 100% for her to take the title :D Davai Katya,best of luck against Bammer!! :clap2: :D

She lost 2/6 6/3 7/6 (7) I guess she wasted MPs again :sad: :sad: It's so heartbreaking to see her always lose the close matchs :( :mad: She needs to learn to play better on the important points :(

:sad: She lost 2/6 6/3 7/6 (7) I guess she wasted MPs again :sad: :sad: It's so heartbreaking to see her always lose the close matchs :( :mad: She needs to learn to play better on the important points :(


seems it's becomes sad story and bad jokes as well as Lena D serve Nadia's first Title, Vera's crying......

Katya :(

Another wasted opportunity. :sad:

Also surviving a nail-biter was Hungary's Melinda Czink, a 26 63 76(7) winner over Russia's Ekaterina Bychkova. Bychkova battled hard before going down, saving triple match point while serving 5-6 and two more while down 5-6 and 6-7 in the tie-break, but Czink capitalized on her own service point at 8-7 to move into her second quarterfinal of the year, also reaching the final eight in Canberra.

At least no wasted MP from Katya and she show some fight saving a couple

Shenay Perry d. Katya 6-3 7-6 in Memphis :bigcry:

Katya :o

Strange decision from Katya ---playing only doubles in 75 k at Las Vegas

Losing////

Davai Katya!

Katya is to play Nagiova today on IW 1st round. Katya has defeated Henrietta this year and I hope she'll do the same in IW.

Good Luck!!! Winnable match!

Good luck vs. Henrieta.

Is in next round booked comfortable win over H. Nagyova. :D Keep it up!

Katya :clap2:

Good luck in the 2nd round :)

6-3 6-0 over Nagyova. Udachi Katya, continue this form! :D

:rocker2:

Good Start!!! Bartoli now :devil:

well done Katya!!! :worship:
She should play her next matches like that ;)
and please no more second round exit

Davai katya

Katya was 3-6 6-3 3-3 with Bartoli when rain stopped play :(
Good fight, hope for good end ;)

Katya on the edge
needs to break today quick, she's 0-30 up on Bartoli's serve

come on Katya, win today :) :D

That's a better performance. Katya can do it the hard way. Best way to improve play the big tournaments more and more. Her ranking is good enough, don't want Katya to do it the E. Loit way.

she lost

as wexpectied

always need a time to be in a game

Katya :smash:
2nd round lost again :retard: :o
Good luck in Miami then ;)

IW pics http://www.mfwweb.com/tennis/IW06/Bychkova_02.jpg

Katya in Miami draw:

Flavia Pennetta (ITA) [17] vs. Bye
Kveta Peschke (CZE) vs. Qualifier
Ekaterina Bychkova (RUS) vs. Catalina Castano (COL)
Bye vs. Anastasia Myskina (RUS) [10]

Castano is very strong :scared:
Good luck to Katya and show everything u can

so, hope Katya will be able to beat Cata

Katya impressively won 6-4 6-1 :woohoo:

Well done Katya, never doubted Katya would def. C. Castano as long as she keeps the ball well enough in play. :D :) Think Katya will finish the year in the top 50. Only thing what can prevent her is using the E. Loit schedule.

great win Katya :woohoo: :D
very impressive ;) :D

now she plays Myskina
good luck in r2 :)

2 sets win

Good Job :)

Katya has a fighting chance right about now, it's 7-6 (2) 1-1 for Myskina.

*sigh*

Typical Katya meltdown, she lost 7-6 (2) 6-1. :sad:

Good tournament, though. She won an easy match and pushed a solid top fifteen player. Well done. :yeah:

Nothing to feel disappointed. She pushed Nastya for longer than one set. Could've had better scoreline than 1-6 second set.

Do the same as in first rnd of USO 2005

Off to a good start :dance:, but the 2nd round is gonna be tough...

Katya beat Sveta, so she can beat Justine. It just means that she will have to win two matches in a row :o

She lost 6-1 6-2, but Henin was extremely sharp! Katya had 13 winners and 12 errors and was still killed. :eek:

She did not play badly and hopefully her good play is rewarded during the Summer. :)

Katya :hug:

Pictures from Budapest here:
http://forum.index.hu/Article/showArticle?t=9135808&la=57263796

katya's such a mess right now. she should play some more itfs, just to work on getting her game together.

well, she played an itf, like i said. as the top seed, katya lost in the first round of baden to qualifier ancic 6-2 3-6 7-5.

she needs to get her shit together quick. the ranking is going down the drain fast. :help:

katya is the highest ranked player entered in the 50k in the bronx next week. let's hope she shows up with some better tennis then she's been showing.

But this is the nost lovely second rnd match :tape:

I hope that Katya can win two in a row :o

Now vs. in form Kata. For Katya nothing to be ruled out. On current form wasn't expected to def. Liouda. Against Liouda Katya's closer to the win. Hope Katya's one of these days.

another second round loss. :(

6-2 4-6 6-2, so she fought, but not good enough. :hug:
