OLGA POUTCHKOVA Cheering Thread!!!

Ok, Ok, she's not russian. But she is Belorussian! That's just as good :p

Saw her at the College Park challenger today and she is a talent. She is 16, and does everything well. No obvious weakness.

She won her qualifying doubles match and I think will play singles tommorow.
Good Luck! :bounce: :kiss: :hearts: :drool:

:bounce: Good luck ;)

Olga won her first two matches in 25K qualifying at College Park and
Olga Poutchkova http://www.fedcup.com/shared/images/flags/BLR.gif def. Sarah Taylor http://www.fedcup.com/shared/images/flags/USA.gif 61 60 :bounce: first round!!!

Next up most likely Maureen Drake. If she played like she did when I saw her on Monday, she'll win easy. Good Lucke :D

Olga is into the QF with a win over #1 seed Maureen Drake, who took Venus to 3 sets in 2002!

I'll see her (hopefully) tommorow!

Olga is in the final!!! If she wins, she'll move up over 100 spots into the top 300!!!

Olga's finally done something at last :D :)
she's still only 16 but she's been around along time

she was playing top grade juniors coming thru qualies back over 2 yrs ago.

good luck to her :)

if u see her tomorrow...... ask about her surname
in juniors she was Puchkova, thats how i still use her name as.

I'll try, but when I talked to her on Monday, she wasn't as approachable as I thought.
But then again I talked to her maybe 45 seconds after her match....I saw her in the club room, but wasn't sure how to approach her....

She is in the FINAL!

:bounce: :worship: :yeah:

keep going Olga! One more win!

Olga wins!!!! :bounce:
Welcome to the Top 300! Keep going!!! :bounce: :kiss: :hearts:

Well done Olga! :) Somehwere Megan/theMinskLynx the bella Belarusian who is a big fan of Olga's is smiling about Olga's win! :D


Thanks for the reports mmc.

Olga :yeah: :D

Megan was a big fan of Olga
and has a site on her

http://www.geocities.com/olgapuchkova/

anyone heard/seen of Megan lately ??

TBE- do you know her ranking? According to the ITF, she is 406, and the WTA tour has her listed in the 600's :rolleyes:

Olga's pts will be added next week :)
should be close to top 300.

dont know where WTA get that 600 from :rolleyes:

oh Ok. I was wondering about that
I actually was looking at her doubles ranking :angel:
silly me.

Where can I find commitments for challenger tournaments? I definately want to keep my eye on her :)

Where can I find commitments for challenger tournaments? I definately want to keep my eye on her :)
as she plays mainly in the US
USTA site will have lists
http://www.usta.com/protennis/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=50421&itype=921&icategoryid=200

Olga won her first match in Us Open Juniors 6-2 7-5 over Maria Alvarez.

Good luck against Kraijeck...but whats up with the 15 DF?

Olga was listed as Russian on the WTA ranks last week
maybe just in time as well ;)

she made her 1st 25k final last week
and this week into semis as well :D :)

go Olga ;)

Olga :o

F Zuzana Zemenova (http://home17.inet.tele.dk/wta/sp/zeme1591.htm)-Q - Poutchkova(1) 4-6 6-4 6-0

Ranked 800 in the wolrd :tape:

But still good result after a long layoff. Just make the top 300 and maybe get into OZ Qualy, definately Roland Garros

Olga lost her semi yesterday to Lina Stanciute in 3 sets :sad:

She now is representing Russia and is under that nationality for WTA ranks. I saw her at Advanta practicing with Varvara Lepchenko and she really impressed me. She was killing Varvara in their practice points. She looks like she could be top 100 soon. She hits very hard. I think she just needs more expirience and to work on her serve. Her groundies are AWSOME!!!!

TBE, Megan is a proud Belarusian and she likely won't be pleased Olga has switched from being a Belarusian citizen to a Russian citizen! :eek: But has it even been confirmed that Olga is now a Russian citizen? The draw in Philadelphia lists her as being from Belarus. :confused:

look at the WTA rankings under Russia and she is listed

Thanks.

Hopefull I will be seeing Olga in the qualies at the 50000 Palm Beach tourney!!!!!!!!!!

That should be a good tournament. I hope Maria Kirilenko plays there too.

Olga is playing the qualies for Pittsburgh 50K

1st rd. vs. A. Riske- should be easy GO OLGA good luck!!!!!!!

Olga def Alison Riske 7-5 6-1 :bounce: but lost in the 2nd rd. of qualies 6-2 6-3 to Adriana Barna :sad:

Olga should be winning these matches.
If she can work on the consistency, she can definately be well within the top 50.
I saw her practice her serve, and she hit some beauties...very well placed. But she can't practice well then go hit 10 DF's in a match...

Olga is playing the Orange Bowl GA tourney this week. She is seeded 4 and def. Lauren Albanese 1st rd. 7-4 (4) 7-6 (6). Go Olga this is a good tourney to go far in !!!!

Godo luck Olga :yeah:

So how come if she lives In florida, but was born in Belarus is she playing for Russia?! not that i'm complaining!

good luck this season! :D

A little article
http://www.eadt.co.uk/content/eadt/sport/story.aspx?brand=EADOnline&category=SportMisc&tBrand=EADOnline&tCategory=zsport&itemid=IPED13%20Jul%202006%2010%3A34%3A07%3A777

THE Gotelee & Goldsmith East of England Lawn Tennis Championships was bathed in sunshine yesterday to greet the latest glamour girl of Russian tennis.

Olga Poutchkova, the No.1 seed here at Felixstowe, was also the number one attraction as she set about trying to emulate her fellow Russian, superstar Maria Sharapova.

She opened up with a tie against Yorkshire-based Anna Smith and in the early games, struggled to live up to her burgeoning reputation. Smith took advantage to break serve at 3-3 but was immediately pegged back as the Russian, ranked 125th in the world, began to find her range from the baseline.

With the top seed 5-4 up, Smith sent an errant forehand long before being punished by a huge Poutchkova backhand winner. Having rarely looked entirely comfortable, Poutchkova did what all good players do, played the big points well and came away with the first set 6-4.

It was a case of deja-vu in the second set as Poutchkova continued to look awkward when drawn to the net, but was able to out-think her British opponent from the baseline. With the set seemingly drifting towards a tie break, a Smith double-fault gifted the Russian a match point which she gratefully took via a fortunate net cord.

Olga into final with a 63 63 win over South

Olga plays Aussie Musgrave in final tomorrow
good luck Olga ;) :kiss: :)

Job done :) Good luck in the final. Let's hope Olga & Nastya Pivo can make double Russian final win on the same day. :)

Olga qualifies for 1st slam ;) :yeah: :D
61 63 win today :banana:

Well done to make the Main Draw

Maybe Olga is starting to come into her own as a tennis player. I hope she thinks of making the 2006 U.S. Open as a new beginning to her career as she has elevated her play and expectations. :)

she lost 46 06 to Bartoli :sad:

That was an unfortunate scoreline for Olga's first grand slam match. :( Perhaps nerves got to her.

1R in Bali: Olga Poutchkova (RUS) v (4) Ana Ivanovic (SCG)

Go Olga :bounce:

Certainly not best of first round draws. Anyhow good luck Olga.

Olga bt Ivanovic 63 46 62 :banana: ;) :D

best win of Olga's young career
she's not 19 for another 2 weeks (27th)

Fantastic win.

Congrats Olga on first Top15 win :yeah: Impressive. :)
I hope it was more of her fight than Ana's tank :o :tape:

Now make use of the draw and reach SF please :angel:
Dawaj! :banana:

Olga :bolt: :banana: :woohoo:

gREAT :banana:

"I'm very disappointed with my game today," said Ivanovic, who won Montréal and the US Open Series this summer. "I played a lot of tennis the last couple of weeks, and coming here I didn’t have time to adapt to the conditions.

"My serve, a couple of games it was working and then not so much. I'm disappointed with that. I still had my chances but everything I went for was a mishit or a mistake."

World No.97 Poutchkova was thrilled about her victory. The 18-year-old Russian, who made her Sony Ericsson WTA Tour main draw debut this year, will try to reach her first Tour quarterfinal against Slovenian qualifier Andreja Klepac.

"This was the first time I’ve ever played a Top 20 player," Poutchkova said. "So to have a win is unbelievable. I really played without nerves today, and I'm so happy to be in the second round."

i met olga to rg this year and i like this player! :-)
I liked when she takes pose with her coach for one photo

Great Job Olga!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!

I've never seen Olga play. Anyone see her game?

I've never seen Olga play. Anyone see her game?

one of Nick B's ball bashers :wavey:
she could get a bit fitter but she moves pretty decent from what i saw of her at Birmingham.

I have a DVD of Olga's Washington D.C. Challenger final last year against Harkleroad. Ashley won in straight sets as a nervous Olga made alot of errors. She was not ready for that final. But I see raw power and an upside in Olga. She is big and strong and plays hard. I just don't know if she can get it together mentally. That's the key for Olga. And because of her height and size Olga's serve should be better than it is.

Olga in QF : 75 63 win over Andreja Klepac

next one - Bartoli

oh no she was the one who beat her in us?!

Olya :yippee: go girl :D
lost against Marion 46 06 at USO, we will see what she does this time

go Olya ;) :D :)
she's doing great :D :)

its only her 4th WTA maindraw event as well

good luck vs Marion
just get ahead of her and stay ahead (then Marion will probably find some excuse to retire :o)

Davai Olga :yeah: It was a nice and solid win :bounce: :rocker: :rocker2:

olga :)
doing amazingly well after so many matches this year.
next year, when she'll be into MD directly she'll only play aroung 60 matches all year long, she's practically played that uch in victories alone!

These are some nice results

Well done Olya! :banana: :yeah: :woohoo:

1st WTA semi for Olga ;) :D :banana: ;) :D
she bt Brianti 75 63 :yeah: :D

Olya moves to #67 now ;) :D
good luck in semis vs Iroda ok :)

:eek: already in top 70

:woohoo:

Great Job Olga...So happy you are finally making the transitions to the WTA's!!!

righto - who to cheer on?
olga's advancment seems to be claer - she can now get into wta events most of the time.
iri on the other hand is gunna be WCed to whatever she wants herself + she's got the next few weeks of play to boost herself up the ranks more.
so the question is whom do i prefer for a final matchup for the title.
iri beating well known foe should be intrestin - but i'm rooting on for olga to add another russian title in a row.

Olga :woohoo: :banana: ;) :bounce:

Now beat Iroda please :angel:

Well done Olga def. top 60 calling.

Olga into final ;) :banana: :D
64 64 win over Iri

Olga vs Hingis in final

good luck Olga ;) :D :)
only moves up another 3 places after this win
but can move up another 12 if she wins tomorrow.

We are going to see Olga in slam main draws for years

Before the semi- "As long as I play my best and get something from each match, I'm satisfied," said Poutchkova, who will play her first Tour semifinal. "I'm happy to be in the semis but I try to focus on my game not just the result."

Olga in final :)

amazing effort :)
hopefully she will carry her good form into the final and trouble hingis the distance!

Olya :woohoo:

olga lost 06 46 :sad:

Tough match in the final but an AWESOME week Olga!

Congrats to Olga on making her first WTA Tour final. :) Maybe she's starting to come into her own as a tennis player. But it's too bad she had to play a class player and champion like Martina Hingis in the final. :(

tough match for Olga, but hope she learnt from it

now Olga is in Guangzhou
and plays the defending champ in r1 (Zi Yan)

good luck Olga ;) :D

Great week in India, Olga!!!
