Stuttgart, QR2: Alberta Brianti (ITA) - (WC)Mona Barthel (GER) 4:6, 7:5, 6:2

:eek: This Barthel is good. She beat Knapp, and now she lost to Brianti in 3.

Barthel/Knapp was a horrendous match, no power, just nothing, but you could see that Barthel had some nice variety ;) But today she played her best tennis, going for the lines with much more power,but no ballbashing at all, trying to come to the net and until 6-4 5-2 everything worked, then a big,big choke and then she was too shaky.

That's a shame. But she is young so she could be one to watch out for. From your descriptions I think I would like her. :)

oh Mona :bigcry:

from 6-4 5-2 to lose...not very good...but well done Alberta! :lol:

Alberta :) Great comeback

Mona :sad: :hug:
