Ekaterina Makarova making waves Thread

Well done Katya :bounce: :rocker: Good luck against Olga now :D I think she will manage to qualify :rocker: :rocker: Davai!!

I shouldn't make predictions anymore :tape: coz I'm damn bad :tape:
Take your second chance Katya and please beat Gabba! :rocker: :rocker:

Good Luck Katya!!!

pls use LL status well

Katya lost in 3 sets :sad: :sobbing: :( :(

Damn :( On to next season get some good results before RG cut-off. Hopefully, she plays GS-Qualies before turning 18.

:sad: :sad: :sad: Quite disappointing loss :sad: :sad:

sad loss :sad:

Katya M. back in action, playing 25 K. in States this week. :) As for Katya get a few results before RG Cut-off, if not then take your big chance to play at least US-Open Qual. What's for sure she hardly can do worse than last year. Good luck Katya.

Katya won today 60 62 ;) :banana: :D :)

Great start of the season :bounce:

Booked pretty comfortable win qualified for QF's. :D

Katya lost in QF :sad: :( :(

Nevertheless have a good feeling if Katya M. opts for the American tour. It"ll work out fine. Reached QF's after first american challenger she played not too bad. Can see Katya making the top 200 this year if she opts for the American Tour. Considering Shvedova/Linetskaya/Bardina who owe their ranking mainly to the American tourneys.

Katya d. Akgul Amanamuradova 75 62 :woohoo:
1st rd 25k Minsk

well done Katya ;) :D
2r vs Grebenyuk
good luck Katya tomorrow :kiss:

Very satisfying win :)

wow Katya :) ;)

Good win!!!
+ win in dbls
MAKAROVA (RUS) / RODINA (RUS) defeated ORLIK (BLR) / YEMIALYANAVA (BLR) 76(3) 61

Katya in QF's Minsk. On good form could go all the way,:) :D but what a shame Minsk in only a 25 K. For players as Zhenya G./Vesna it's easier to make the Sf's in 50/75 K. than in Minsk. :o

Katya :yeah: :D
good win today as well ;)

now keep on going :)
Katya only got a bit to defend before RG cut off
hope she can make it.

http://www.tennisvideos.fr/forum/showthread.php?t=182

thanx for clip :)
saw the match yesterday :)

Katya is on Ashe Friday, playing the #1 in the world on the biggest court.

get to see Katya again tomorrow :yeah:

good luck Katya :hug:
just play your game 100% :) :kiss:

Sometimes playing on a huge court against a top player is not a positive.
Bardina played Kim in Rod Laver Arena, then did nothing.

Katya has to use this as a positive. Focus, and learn from it. And continue to move forward.

Nice to see Ekaterina in the third round of the 2007 U.S. Open. :) I hope she goes for her shots against Henin and doesn't play nervous tennis because of the occasion.

I cant wait to see Katya tomorrow!! Good luck, I accually think shes a chance. Henin wont out hit Katya, so the match is on her racquet. Good luck :worship:

Katya played some okay tennis at the end of the match. Her lefty serve has potential. Her 2 hand backhand is okay.
She has to get steadier and stronger.
That was a good tournament, and she's in position to do something next year.

This is just for Eggy. :p
Katya after her win against Schruff.

Honestly, I was not impressed too much with her game against Schruff, she lacks something special in my opinion. However, against Sugiyama she played very well and went for her shots! I am sure she will continue to improve.

thanx for the pic :wavey:

we could tell she wasnt good vs Schruff or she wouldnt have lost a set :lol:

Russian tennis player Ekaterina Makarova gestures as she celebrates winning the first set during her womens singles match against Austrian Yvonne Meusburger at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne, 17 January 2008. Makarova won 6-3. 6-1.

Katya does play Nadia next

if Katya plays like i know she can, and nadia plays like she has been recently, i'd give Katya a pretty good chance of winning.

c'mon Katya :kiss: ;) good luck vs Nadia

Katya :kiss: Good luck vs Nadia :D:) Great chance of a good result here!

Good luck against Nadia tonight :D :D She seems to play very good in slams :yeah: Congrats for reaching the top 100 btw :D

3rd round is a very good result. Katya has a chance today. Nadia can be up and down.

I'll be watching this for sure
so glad they put a mens match on before so i can watch Anna vs Masha.

First match on SC 3 Sunday

I never saw that Makarova girl, but I promise, If she'll be able to kick Nadia out of AO, she'll have loyal fan in me till end of carreer...

Great to make the 3rd round.

Katya has to work on her serve. She was broken 4 of her first 5 service games

Nadia served at 61 52 and Katya broke her 3 straight times.
They're in a tb 7-7

Katya lost 16 67(8). She fought back, but was broken again at 65.
Her serve is the problem

Katya :sad: :( she fought well but in end came up short

You can't fall behind 16 15.
She has to work on that serve.

Katya gets US$49,000, which is like a Tier I SF.
Good payday. But she needs to do more work. Her game isn't there yet.
