Kirsten Flipkens back on track

After a year with back problems, Kirsten Flipkens (10-01-1986) finally shows her talent again..

She won the Wimbledon and US Open juniors title in 2003 and ended that same year on number one...

Let's hope she can play injury free this year and reach the top-100.

The season did start quite well for her...

Good luck to Kirsten :yeah:
She is very talanted and she will be very dangerous in the nearest future ;)

Kirsten :hearts: :banana:
keep it up

She almost reaches her highest rank (148) again!

go Flipper! :D

What I don't like is that she always starts slow in a match. I think that's what she has to work on, she already has a great fighting spirit.

Go Kirsten :bounce:

Wow! She's moving up the ranking really fast. :bounce: Hope to see her soon as a at least top 50 player! :bounce:

It's great because Kirsten is a talented girl but she didn't have the chance too show itr cuz of all her injuries. Now she finally seems to be back on track with these small victories.

Witht that said, if you find this thread nothing, don't come in it.
