Where is Bethanie??

I am having Mattek withdrawls...anyone know where she has been, any plans to play in upcoming tournaments??

I think she had/has some type of injury. Asfar as her next tourney, i know she is on the entry list for Quebec City :cool::bounce:

^ Oh good! I was hoping she'd play another tournament before the end of the year. :D

Oh good, hopefully she comes back strong!

Oh, cool. When's the draw out?

I'm having withdrawl too! My favourite player being #1 doesn't quite make up for my 2nd and 3rd favourites being AWOL...

I think the Main Draw comes out Saturday or Sunday. :)

Great news! Beth will be playing in Quebec City next week :bounce:. Below is her qtr of the draw...

[6] Bethanie Mattek vs. [WC] Sharon Fichman
[WC] Valerie Tetreault vs. Mathilde Johansson
[WC] Marie-Eve Pelletier vs. Olga Poutchkova
Melanie Oudin vs. [2] Flavia Pennetta

This is by far the most wide open qtr in the draw:cool:.

Good luck BETH! :bounce:

:woohoo:
Beth is back!!

Woohoo!!! Marvellous. Who's seeded #1?

Woohoo!!! Marvellous. Who's seeded #1?

Nadia Petrova :)

Great draw for her! And replace Flavia with BAMMER and its EVEN easier!

Good luck Mattek!

Fichmann on round 1 :cool:

Great draw, especially since Mattek has been away for awhile. Nice draw to work your way into.

She is also playing doubles with Nathalie Dechy and they are the TOP seed.

GOOD LUCK BETHANIE!!!

Great to see Beth back playing! :)
She's got a good draw, hopefully she can make use of it :bounce:

Beth won 6/3 6/3 :D:bounce:

:woohoo:

Welcome back Beth!!!! WIDE OPEN draw now...Bammer lost, another canadian WC in the next round- hope Bethanie takes advantage

I'm so glad she won! I really hope she keeps winning!

2nd rd: Bethanie Mattek (USA) d. (WC) Valérie Tétreault (CAN) 76(4) 36 76(1)



What a F I G H T E R ! :worship:

The Fighter. :boxing: :boxing:

Q: Where is Bethanie?
A: A win away from the top 40.

:cool: Awesome. I can't seem to open the Draw PDF. Who does she play next?

Bethanie is into her 4th career tour SF, and 3rd of the year!

Hopefully she can make her first career final! :bounce:

Great win- and in the TOP 40!!!!

It would be awesome if she could make her first final at the last tournament of the year- ONE MORE WIN BETH!!!!

Beth always seems to perform her best after a short layoff, just like Serena :lol::worship:.

:bounce: Well done. Keep going!!

Into the Final. :bounce:

Not too optimistic about her chances against Nadia, but this has already been an amazing week. Anything else is just extra.

:worship: Awesome. First career final, I'll take that :cool: But first career title sounds so much better.

Go out there and FIGHT for it Beth!!! :bounce: :armed:

I agree Cat- its time for her to have her first career title!!

Does anyone know her projected ranking if she wins or if she is runner-up?
It would be incredible if she was ranked at the Aus. Open.

If she loses - 38
If she wins - 35

c'mon beth! :bounce:

I'm going crazy. Why is there no Live score?

If Beth wins this match it will *almost* make up for Massa losing the F1 title. If she loses, then my day of sport totally sucks.

Beth lost 4/6 6/4 6/1 :sad:. Oh well, it was still one heck of a tourney for her. She made her first ever wta final after being out for 2 months due to a hip injury. :worship:

Good Luck in 2009 Beth!:bounce:

AWE- sounds like Bethanie came close to serving the match out, but still a great week and something VERY positive to build on for the beginning of next year!!

It's a shame she lost, but expected really. First final, career high ranking and an awesome end to an awesome season. Roll on Aussie Open!!!! :bounce:

Holy crap! I haven't been keeping close tabs since it's "post season" (at least as far as I've been concerned of late), but she's in the top 40 _ALREADY_? I wouldn't have figured that happening for the better part of another year.

VERY impressive! (I may have to break down and bug her with a "Hello and Congrats" on Facebook... ;-)

Next year is looking like a strong one for the tour already.

:lol: Yeah. Its even more amazing since she only played 1 tourney post US Open due to her injury :sad:.

Good Luck in 09 Beth! :bounce:

Anyone have any news on our girl...I didnt see her on any entry list for any of the four tournaments prior to the Aussie Open.
