Montreal
Q1 Callens (5) vs Mattek

go Els :bounce:

Any draw for Rebecq?

Head-to-head:

Callens - Mattek: 2 - 0 :)

Kirsten is playing again? She'll be really tired, but if you are on a run, why not, I guess! :D

I assume she'll withdraw. She should, in my opinion. :rolleyes:

Well maybe she feels she's on a run and will keep playing? WOuld be good for her rankings i guess...but she doesn't wanna get injured again!

Bethanie Mattek d. Els Callens 6-3 6-1 :(:(

Els toch :tape: :sad:

Els :sad: that's dissapointing

Els, nee hé. Hoe komt het toch dat je op de tour nooi je beste niveau haalt?

That's awful :help: She'll definitely need that WC for Hasselt :o
Good luck in doubles... (with Mandula?)

Bram, why did u laught about Justine winning her 1st rnd???

Maite :sad:

Bram, why did u laught about Justine winning her 1st rnd???

Maite :sad:

I wasn't laughing at Justine, I was laughing at Karin! I saw her play in Zwevegem and she's the worst player I've ever seen :o :o :o Goele Lemmens, playing her 1st ITF match ever, was KILLING her in the 1st set :o Karin's mother was even laughing, she found it funny :cuckoo:
And now Justine Bourdon, playing in her 1st match, beat Karin-Marlies too :p ;)

As usual, the organisators don't keep their promises. I didn't keep the updated draws! I don't understand them. They don't publish the draws anywhere, I offer them to publish them which is some for free advertising , they just have to e-mail the pdf files, and they don't do it.
Anyway, some explanations about the results of the Belgians. Ornella Gentile had to withdraw (injured at the back). Wouters won quite easily, 7/5 (or 7/6)-6/2. Baijot lost the first set 6/2, won the second one 6/2 or 6/3 and led 4/2 before Goetz came back to 4/4 40/0 on her serve. Then Cecile hit a ball which was out but close to the line and the referee considered it ok. Her opponent lost her nerve and the game and Cecile could serve for the match. She hold her serve and won 6/4. Barbara Laurent lost in straight sets but showed a far better game than last year. Eva De block won against a quite weak opponent. A lucky draw is a good thing from time to time. Klaartje van Baarle got a tough opponent and although she fought on every point she lost 6/4-6/2. I just saw a few points of Tatiana Cutrona and Aline Coulon, therefore I have no opinion on their matches.

Hechingen, DUI, $25.000
R1 Flipkens (4) vs Q/LL

4 of the 19 Belgians in the third round, rather depressing :o
but when you look at last year, there were only 2 in the third round (Claes and Bailly) and only Bailly won her match, but lost in the final round then
I sure hope at least one of them qualifies, but looking at the four who are still left, I'm not expecting much, if I'm not mistaken, I think Eva is the only who has qualified for a tournament this year, I don't even know if the others have even qualified once in their career? :confused:

pfffffff at the organisators of rebecq :rolleyes:

We want results..

I'll try to go there for the "evening" matches. I'll ask them again and anyway I'll take the updated draws and scan them on my site. But don't expect them before 10 pm.

Thanks tennisbelge :kiss: I really hope that Eva Pera has won..

Have fun tonight! ;)

Kirsten withdrew from Hechingen

Good luck on the hardcourts, Kirsten !!! :yeah:

I didn't go to Rebecq. I will tomorrow. Anyway, one of my friend working with me on the site went and asked again for the draws. Good news they sent it to me! They're available !

Julie had played some more tournaments before this one (that was actually last week, cuz I posted the results back then) but never managed to reach round 2. Anciaux was listed as Belgian on the draw I found...she lost 6-1 6-0 against Van Horne (1)

ITF Leiria Portugal Grade 4
(2) Julia Goerges GER vs Goele Lemmens BEL

Tough draw :( Good luck Goele :angel:

Stefanie :fiery: :sad: maybe it's time to go regroup in Cairo

Scores thanks to Axel who’s in Rebecq today ;)

(6) Leslie Butkiewicz BEL def. Elena Stoianova BUL :)
(3) Antonela Voina GER def. Caroline Bailly BEL (6-3 in third set) :sad:

Leslie :)
Caroline :sad: but good fight

For Caroline, maybe it was 6-1... I don't really remember!! 6-1 or 6-3 :lol:

I had to leave after the 1st set of Aude's double match. Her partner and her lost the first set 6-3 after leading 3-1 :sad: Aude was playing well, her partner made some bad mistakes at times!

I saw Emilie Bacquet playing as well, and she is really good! She has a killing forehand, she hits really flat! Emilie is also really beautiful!!! I talked to Emilie's mother, actually I asked her if Emilie was finally belgian or french... she told me Emilie had the double nationality (2 passports and 2 identity cards). But for the WTA, she is french. Because the French federation is helping her more than the Belgian is doing. And it's also better for the WC in France. And finally, when she plays WTA tournaments, when she beats higher ranked players, her french ranking improves as well, while in Belgium it stays the same and she have to play Belgian tournament to improve her ranking. So that's why she is playing for France. Btw, she has a really cute chiwawa (sp??) (but she let him lick her face and mouth after the match :eek: :vomit: )

And finally, when she plays WTA tournaments, when she beats higher ranked players, her french ranking improves as well, while in Belgium it stays the same and she have to play Belgian tournament to improve her ranking.
Huh? :confused:

The little dog is cuter than Bacquet :p :devil:

Huh? :confused:
For example, now she is in the QF of Rebecq, so her french ranking will improve with the quality points of the players she defeated (and the ranking points). While in Belgium, she wouldn't get any points for her qf in Rebecq.

And what ranking are you talking about? I only know the wta-rankings

*so very confused :confused: :D*

And what ranking are you talking about? I only know the wta-rankings

*so very confused :confused: :D*
The national rankings :p Like in Belgium you are ranked even if you are not a pro :p (C 30.4, B, A)

In France, WTA results counts in those rankings, while apparently in Belgium it doesn't as she told me to improve her Belgian ranking she had to play Belgian tournaments

Oh okay. But at that level isn't wta-rankings much more important?

R2 Butkiewicz (6) - Laurendon (Q) 6-2 7-6 :)
QF Butkiewicz (6) vs Balaci (1)

R2 Butkiewicz (6) - Laurendon (Q) 6-2 7-6 :)

Leslie :hug:

Good luck against the top seed :) Go girl!

Friday's order of play is available on my site for those who plan to go to Rebecq (and for the others too ;) )

Oh okay. But at that level isn't wta-rankings much more important?
Yes it is (but maybe not in France for the $$$ offered and for the WC for RG ;))

I've been there 2h this afternoon after my tennis practice in Brussels and Emilie Bacquet :hearts: (too bad she isn't belgian) won easily in 2 sets.

Balaci is really good and hitting really hard and was leading Leslie by 1 set when I left and Jessie De Vries/Debbrich Feys were leading 3*-2. They seemed to be a really good team together. I think they'd win against their argentian/french opponent. (Jessie is really good looking!)

I took some pics, I'll try to post some soon

Go debbrich and Jessie! :D

They are in the final! I read it in La Dernière Heure! And the single final is Balaci vs Voina... Jessie and Debbrich will play Balaci/Voina in the final

I don't know if I can mention this here. But the ladies competition in my club is won by Claudia Smolders. She beat Patty Van Acker in the final: 3-6, 7-6, 6-4. :sad: :sad:

In a 3h match starting at 11h until 14h, under a very heavy sun!

Patty had to play another final in Kortemark that day, but she was a bit down after the match. It's a pity, she could have won, but there will be other chances :D

Go Patty :kiss:
