MY COMMENTS:

Camille PIN: that "small size" competitor is doing her maximum to face "power hitters new generation" and made it pretty well last week. She performed her 3rd career WTA semi final at Auckland ousting 8th seed/n°44 Perry en route before losing to eventual winner Top seed/n°12 Jankovic.

Marina ERAKOIC: this is the best talent in New Zealand and benefited from a WC at Auckland Tier IV last week. She reached the 2nd rd with a convincing victory over n°90 Tu before falling in a tight 3 sets match vs 7th seed/n°36 Daniilidou.

Sophie FERGUSON: that still young australian is starting the year up 13 places from her best former best ranking after reaching the 2nd round at Gold Coast Tier III upsetting 8th seed/n°26 Sugiyama before losing to compatriot n°29 Stosur.

TOP 200:
Paola SUREZ n°154 (+24): The road to her former Top 10 ranking is merely unreachable (n°9 in 2004). Howevre, at 30 y.o, Paola is back to the compettion full of pleasure and surely expectations. Last week, she made it to the QF at Auckland Tier IV upsetting 6th seed/n°34 Muller en route before falling to another veteran 32 y.o and n°70 Craybas.

As usual, I hope you'll enjoy that thread and wish you all the best for the new year!!:bounce: :bounce:
Don' t hesitate to comment!!;)

Happy New Year and thanks for the stats. :wavey:

I really wonder how far Shahar will progress ...

How about you mention Vesnina and comment on how fast she's risen up the rankings. I'm so peeved that everyone just ignors her... last year she lept over 50 places and no one cared.

well constructed :yeah:

I'm always appreciative of these reports. :yeah:

Thanks for your cheering guys!!

Concerning Elena V, she's rising steadily in the world ranking without making a lot of noise! However, it's going to be interesting to follow her this year and analysing how she'll cope with her new status as Top 50 player. For sure, her opponent will take care before facing her.
I don't know why she's not more under the media lights all the more she's a very attractive blond player;)

Shahar and Soph :D :worship:
