:worship:
:bounce: Good work with the singles qualifying and getting into a GS :bounce:

More Slams to come please!

it was a lil disappointing loss againt raymond :bigcry: nastya was maybe tired after her great job in qualy. Btw, it was her 1st grand slam and i'm sure she'll improve her record very very soon!! davai nastya, i still think you're such a great talent!! and good luck for the next tournament!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: hope she'll reach the top 100 this season! :D

Woaaaah only 2 replies and the last one from jan 2005. :eek:

I´m Tom, Anastasiya is one of my many faves. :)

US Open draw

Francesca Schiavone (14) vs. Romina Oprandi
Karolina Sprem vs. Sania Mirza
Martina Muller vs. Anastasiya Yakimova
QUALIFIER vs. Shahar Peer (21)

Go Anastasiya :bounce:

Lost to Muller in straights. :bigcry: You can do better than this Nastya!!

Anastasia is the best!

:)

:bounce:

In Guangzhou she has a chance to make some serious damage. 1R v Qualifier, 2R possibly against an injured Czink, QF against slumping Medina or Jidkova, and then a SF against Li, which I can't see her winning.

GL Nastya. :bounce:

She is the 4th seed at 75K Bratislava. :scared: It's a great field, and she is slumping, so it will be tough!

Here is her section of the draw:

(5)Tsvetana Pironkova (BUL) v Sandra Kloesel (GER)
Roberta Vinci (ITA) v Katerina Bohmova (CZE)

Tatiana Poutchek (BLR) v (wc)Dominika Cibulkova (SVK)
(4)Anastasia Yakimova (BLR) v Q

I just hope she gets past the qualifier. :help: She should get past Poutchek/Cibulkova. But it would take something extraordinary to get past Pironkova. :sad:
Good luck Nastya. :rocker2:

OMG she lost to Henke 1-6 1-6 in the 1r. :help: :help: :help: :help: :bigcry:

50K Deauville 1r against (wc) Karla Mraz. If she loses this then :help: :help:
Then a 2r encounter with Beygelzimer or Tamaela - both will be extremely hard. :bigcry: :scared:

Nastya won 1r 6-3 6-3. :D :D :D :D Good luck against Beygelzimer!

She beat Beygelzimer 6-1 7-5. :eek: :aparty: :rocker: Keep going!!

Nastya!:hearts: Continue in this way! :) :worship: :D :bounce:

Nastya beat. Maes 60 62 in QF. :kiss: :hearts: ;)
Good luck in SF against Kutuzova:wavey: :bounce:

She lost in the semis 6-0 4-3 rtd. :bigcry: :sobbing: What a shame. :( But great tournament Nastya. :kiss: :kiss:

She is playing 75K Poitiers this week. :eek: Here is her section of the draw:

(3)Anastasiya Yakimova BLR vs (wc)Mailyne Andrieux FRA
Yulia Beygelzimer UKR vs Tatjana Malek GER
Q vs Virginie Pichet FRA
Q vs (7)Sandra Kloesel GER

Not a bad draw. ;) Hope she's not too injured. :sad:

Its is true! where are all the Belarussians!!!?? Anastasiya Yakimova is the best in Belarus...and nobody support her...

GOOD LUCK IN 2OO9 ANASTASIYA YAKIMOVA...THE BEST OF BELARUS...I'VE BEEN POSTING DURING THE SEASON ALTHOUGH I WILL THE ONLY ONE...BECAUSE YAKI IS A TALENTED TENNIS PLAYER!

GOOD LUCK MI PRINCESA!

Sorry pal, if I were as young as you, then I guess I would have had more spare time to post here :)

actually I had luck to watch Nastya "live" on couple tournaments and and was able even to wish her a good luck in person ;)

I respect her ability to work hard during practice and her ability to fight on the court until the last moment. Well today it was a great fight and she barely missed 4-th round :(

So I join you and do wish her solid tennis achievments in 2009! :wavey:

P.S. If I do not post here it does not mean that I do not follow all her tennis matches results in singles and in doubles :))

give me the links please..i wanna see her :)

well at least this one will work for sure:
please register an account at www.bet365.com and there is "Live streaming"
(you don't have to deposit anything to watch live stream)

I see that they scheduled Nastya's match on 12.00 CET - I will watch :)

Good luck to her!

P.S.
you may also check such URL: www.atdhe.net - sometimes they also have tennis feeds

well not a bad match, quite intensive rallies...

but unfortunately 3-6,3-6 :(


let's hope in the next tournaments Nastya can go further :wavey:

Yeah, edgars ..Nastya lost but it was a great tournament for her. She passed the Qualy winning 3 importants matches, one against Zec Peskiric (who defeated Kanepi in 1st round) and where only lost 4 games! in her last two matches. Then, in Main Draw Yakimova achieved a very nice victory against 8th seed Cirstea and later recovered from a 3-6 to won over Rybarikova 6-3 6-0. Roberta Vinci is playing really well, she was very near to defeat number 4 Jankovic last week in Marbella and this friday was more agressive and consistence than Yakimova.
I think this matches will be so usefull for Nastya in her next tournament on clay :)
She is now number 74° in WTA Ranking...and this monday she will be near 6O! GREAT!

2OO9 RECORD: 19-8

Next Tournament: ITF Cagnes-Sur-Mer, France $100,000 :)

With rank around 60-70 I guess she would be able to play mostly WTA tournaments without qualies.

Of course Barcelona has been a great achievement for Nastya.
Looking forward for similar results on next tourneys :)

Nastya is going to rest in Las Palmas this week...She told me she has a problem in her knee but its not nothing important.. but its better she stop playing to let her knee recover.

yes I also saw on live feed that in the end of the first set she has injured her left knee (but I also hope it is was not very serious)

but of course it is better not take the risk and and rest some time

Nastya is playing in Womens Circuit Cagnes-Sur-Mer this week :)

yes, unexpected loss to number 279 in WTA ranking :(

now no chance to meet her country mate Katya DZEHALEVICH in qualie final :)

well, in next WTA tournaments I hope Nastya would play directly in main draw, though I see her next tournament is probably Saint-Gaudens? (France, ITF-50K, 11 May to 17 May 2009)

ITF Saint-Gaudens $5O,OOO:

R2: Yakimova def. Ondraskova 6-2 6-1

Q: Yakimova def. Vakulenko O-6 6-2 7-6

SF: Yakimova vs Minella

LETS GO NASTYA!

Nastya reached the final!!!

Yakimova is playing another final this year. After winning over lucky loser Mandy Minella , she become the first Saint-Gaudens final. Particularly, 2OO9 is being a wonderful year for her : She won ITF Cali, reached Miami's thrid round (defeated Bartoli), arrived at WTA Barcelona's quarters and now playing the final in Saint-Gaudens.

Yakimova defeated important player this 2009 like Zakopalova, Cirstea, Rybarikova, Bartoli and Masa Zec Peskiric. She passed the qualification in 4 of 5 tournaments, she lost in Estoril.

Last year, she was beaten in the 2nd round of Sain-Gaudens Open (lost win Manasieva) so she is going to advance in Wta Ranking.


Her next oponent in the final is going to be Yanina Wickmayer from Belgium, a player who i like so much and she is on fire in the last weeks.She won Itf Surprise title and she has won WTA Estoril recently, his first Wta tour title when she is only 19 years and she won 11 matches consecutively. This could be a very difficult match for Nastya, but it's very important to face this kind of players to arrive prepared at Roland Garros.

Yakimova: 7O°
Wickmayer: 64°

Saint Gaudens Final:

R1: Maria Sharapova def. Anastasiya Yakimova BLR 3-6 6-1 6-2

very good job Nastya anyway...I saw the match and Nastya played really agressive all the match, her backhand shines! :D but when she was 6-3 1-4 the problems in the back didnt let her service as she want...thats why she made 6 or 7 double faults. She never give up but Maria's shots were very fast and heavy!

I love Nastya's pink clothes :D

Good Luck in next tournaments..im proud of you Yaki!

P.S.
@dos santos:
thx a lot for link!
will now donload it!

Did Nastya withdraw from RG doubles?

I guess then it is wise decision: no need to risk with her health!

listening to Russian commentator Dmitrieva: I did not know that Nastya has an older sister? And she had been also a tennis player.

After a long rest. Nastya is back!

She is going to play ITF $25,000 Tbilisi, Georgia. Is not the best Itf Tournament of the week but Natya will try to find confidence beating lower ranked players and then will think in end an interesting season in the most aceptable way :)

Bad result ...cmon Nastya!Do not give up

$75,000 Jounieh

R1: (4)Yakimova vs Petra Cetkovska CZE

Lets see...

Nastya reached semifinals last year so she must defend lots of points in Jounieh. She is number 95º now but if she doesnt arrive at least to the semifinals, she will be out of the top 100 :(. I dont want that because it has been a great season for her: Won 3 ITF : Cali, Astana and Saint-Gaudens, defeated top players like Bartoli and Cirstea and had played all the Grand Slams.

Cmon Nastya, fight in Marruecos!

R1: Cetkovska d. (4)Yakimova 3-6 6-2 6-2. She will be out of top 100 :(

yes, a bit disappointing series of 2 last ITF tourneys for Nastya...

99º in WTA RANKING

Nastya is playing in $50,000 ITF Madrid, and she is the first seed...what willl happen?.

Nastya lost 6-1 6-1 against Simona Halep in ITF Minsk!!!

What happen to her after a brilliant season! :(

probably some consequences of her injuries... :(

Nastya Yakimova will play in Brisbane in the beginning of 2010 season. She is in the Q-list so lets hope she'll do good performances. She must make some good points in the early tournaments to enter directly in AO Main Draw.

GOOD LUCK

Brisbane

Q1: Anastasiya Yakimova vs Olivia Rogowska AUS

the match is tomorrow at 2nd turn. :)

I see that O. ROGOWSKA won:

not a really good start of the season for Nastya?

Yep, she lost. Olivia is a very dangerous take-off tennis player and plays much better in OZ than nowhere. Unfortunately Nastya lost but its almost the start....Sydney qualies are next. Good Luck :)

let's hope for better result in Sydney!

Vamos Nastya! :)

Anastasiya on WTA feature "Getting to Know"

NEW YORK, NY, USA - Since making her WTA main draw debut in 2004, Anastasiya Yakimova has posted two Top 100 seasons, rising as high as No.49 in 2006. Along the way the 5'5" Belarusian has won two WTA doubles titles and 11 ITF singles titles, most recently at Nassau in the Bahamas - a setting that could hardly be more different than where she'll be on Wednesday night, facing Maria Sharapova on Arthur Ashe Stadium, under the lights.

We caught up with 84th-ranked Anastasiya after her first round win over Noppawan Lertcheewakarn - a victory that put her through to the second round of the US Open for the first time.

How did you get into tennis?
AY: My parents, Alex and Viktoriya, saw a commercial on TV, advertising for kids to play tennis. I just gave it a try and I liked it. First of all it was with a big group, a lot of kids, and of course on one court. But little by little it got more serious for me.

Did either of your parents play?
AY: No, but my parents are involved in sport - my father is actually a shooting coach, in a junior school. They wanted me to do a sport but left it to me to decide which one I would like.

What's your coaching situation now?
AY: I've been working with Ralph Kok for six-and-a-half years. He's Dutch... we met when I was playing club matches in The Netherlands. At that time he was captain of our team, just for the two weeks of the competition. Mostly he is based in Spain, in Gran Canaria. We started working together and I went there to practice with him. That's where I normally train and he's here with me in New York this week.

Did you model your game on a player you admired when you were growing up?
AY: I wouldn't say I modeled my game on her, but I always liked Steffi Graf because she was a hard worker. She had a lot of talent, of course, but at the same time she was always working really hard every day. I like this because that's what I do, always. I like to see success when it's not only based on talent, but a result of hard work and talent combined.

What's been your best moment in tennis so far?
AY: Lots of little things. Winning my first Grand Slam match, and then I reached the third round in Australia a few years ago. Also I've played a couple of nice matches on center court at Roland Garros, against Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters - these are the sort of matches you work for and look forward to. And of course winning tournaments… I haven't won a WTA tournament yet, but I've won some big ITF tournaments. I cannot really put one thing ahead of anything else, because I've had quite a few experiences I've really enjoyed.

How do you describe your game? What are your strengths?
AY: I'm a baseliner and I move well. I don't have a very powerful game because I'm not so big and maybe don't have the best reach, but I try to combine high balls and slices and drop shots. Of course sometimes, when I can, I try to really hit the ball. But mostly I'm trying to create a point and make openings for my opponent to make a mistake. I don't hit so many winners, but I can make my opponent impatient.

Do you have a favorite surface?
AY: Before I would have said I like to play more on clay. But lately the hardcourts have become more slow, so now I like hardcourts as well. And the last couple of years I also played quite well on grass, which I didn't expect so much but it went well, so I'm OK with the grass!

Do you do any non-tennis training?
AY: No, not really. But of course I enjoy other activities - I like figure skating. Nothing serious, just for fun. Unfortunately I cannot do it too much because it can be dangerous for injuries.

What do you like to do to relax?
AY: It depends. A lot of times, if you have been playing many matches, it's best just to stay calm in your room, maybe read or watch a movie. A few weeks ago I was at a tournament which was not so entertaining, but there was a shopping mall and I went to the movies three times in one week! But usually if I have free time - which sometimes happens if you lose first round at a tournament - I have my hobbies, such as photography. I really like to go out by myself, see the city and make some photos.

What are your goals in tennis?
AY: I don't set goals in terms of numbers and position I want to be in. It's just about trying to play every match the best I can and trying to enjoy it. Because in the end it all depends on how you feel on court and how you perform… the results and the numbers will follow. At the end of the year you will see what you have done.

If not tennis, what might you be doing?
AY: That's a tough question… I haven't really thought about it.

Do you have a favorite song or music group?
AY: I cannot really say I have one, because I like a lot of different types of music and it depends on what I am doing. For example, before a match I like to listen to Eminem. He gives me a bit of energy. But I also like older pop songs from the 80s and 90s. Backstreet Boys are a favorite.

Favorite movie?
AY: I liked the British Christmas film Love, Actually a lot, and the movie Seven, with Brad Pitt. Lately there have been a lot of good movies, but I also feel they repeat a lot. You know, the same old stories!

What's your most treasured possession? What can't you live without?
AY: With tennis players, it's always computer, phone… but I could live without it. The most important thing is that if you find yourself alone or with nothing to do, you find a way to entertain yourself. It can be a book, it can be a computer, it can be a phone…

What advice would you give to a young kid who is thinking about making a career out of tennis or another sport?
AY: Having fun is of course important, but in their minds they have to know what they want to be. They have to have the will and the discipline. You can't take the attitude that you'll just play, blah, blah, and see what's gonna happen. If you really want to be a professional, you have to put it in your head and do just that little bit extra than the other kids. Mentally it's tough for kids, but that's the way we did it when we were young and that's the way it is in competition. It takes a lot of commitment - and patience. It's important that they understand this from a young age.
