Anna-Lena Gronefeld (world #22) to play 75K Tucson in November!!CoryAnnAvants#1 Oct 25th, 2005, 08:21 PM I guess she needs a tournament to play since the actual WTA season will be done for the year by the start of this tournament:tape: :lol: This is absolutely insane. She's already played 29 weeks this year:rolleyes: Pengttaya Oct 25th, 2005, 08:24 PM Its not that mad when you think about it. She lives[b] in Scottsdale which [b]isnt that far from Tucson, both in Arizona so its not really travelling to another tournament Dexter Oct 25th, 2005, 08:26 PM :rolleyes: @ Anna :tape: jonny84 Oct 25th, 2005, 08:28 PM and why not.......probably a chance to get more points and more practise and maybe give herself a chance to end the year in the Top20. Carmen Mairena Oct 25th, 2005, 08:37 PM She was badly injured in Moscow, maybe she just wants some practice to test that ankle. Give her a break please! mr_burns Oct 25th, 2005, 08:40 PM I don't think she can earn a Top 20 spot there... LeRoy. Oct 25th, 2005, 08:42 PM 29 events ? :scared: ALG is the new Dokic (no offense) miranda_lou Oct 25th, 2005, 08:48 PM Perhaps Anna-Lena committed to this tournament earlier in the year and didn't want to disappoint the organizers.:rolleyes: That should be commended, not criticized. Besides, as someone said, it's not like she has to fly half-way around the world to play. It's practically in her own backyard. Maria S. is going to Japan to play a series of exhibitions in December. She's being paid a ton of money but the girl needs to REST. Her father is working her like a mule.:mad: It reminds me of what Jen Cap's daddy did to her and we know how that turned out.:fiery: Slumpsova Oct 25th, 2005, 08:48 PM :haha: she loves tennis so much :tape: charmedRic Oct 25th, 2005, 09:30 PM Best of Luck to ALG. GoDominique Oct 25th, 2005, 09:35 PM :o Mana Oct 25th, 2005, 10:04 PM This is really good:) Orion Oct 25th, 2005, 10:07 PM Didn't Schiavone do the same last year? timafi Oct 25th, 2005, 10:09 PM great to know she is playing again Groenefeld get well soon kid CooCooCachoo Oct 25th, 2005, 10:09 PM Well, good luck.

Even worse, because she played an $50K ITF event in Bergamo (and lost in the second round :tape: ) -Sonic- Oct 25th, 2005, 10:10 PM hehe re: maria... why do some people think thay playing for charity does not make a player feel tired? tis weird. i think she should rest also. vogus Oct 25th, 2005, 10:12 PM it's good news for me, because I'm going to the tournie. -Sonic- Oct 25th, 2005, 10:17 PM oh, and i hope she wins xxxx Pengttaya Oct 25th, 2005, 10:28 PM Even worse, because she played an $50K ITF event in Bergamo (and lost in the second round :tape: ) Give her some credit Coo, I think she lost to Ekaterina "Kuznetsova Kruncher" Bychkova" ;) KoOlMaNsEaN Oct 25th, 2005, 10:41 PM She plays too much!

TF Chipmunk Oct 26th, 2005, 01:12 AM Good idea to test that ankle and be ready for AO :D Scotso Oct 26th, 2005, 03:22 AM Go ALG! :D Almost as much money as a tier V :shrug: petey_pan Oct 26th, 2005, 01:11 PM good luck baby girl........ i think its a really smart move to test the ankle out and 75k is basically as strong as a Tier V so its not that crazy pan Oct 26th, 2005, 01:18 PM hui, i don't know what to say... DutchieGirl Oct 26th, 2005, 01:41 PM Even worse, because she played an $50K ITF event in Bergamo (and lost in the second round :tape: ) :haha: abnd you know who WON Bergamo last year? :p Well I hope Anna will win some matches at this challenger, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing! | |
