Doha 1r: Ksenia Pervak def. [10]Nastia Pavlyuchenkova 16 62 63

Bakery :spit:

Downward spiral. :shrug:

Well done Ksenia, first win of the year I think :)

:facepalm:

:cheer:well done pervak.Never seen her play, but like her name, so I'll cheer for her.

Nastya :o

good win for Ksyusha ;)
but Nastya :rolleyes: keeps on losing to anyone these days :help:

at least she's got more time for photoshoots now :o
having a photoshoot yesterday :cuckoo:

Expected :fiery:

Nastya :o wat hell wrong

Nastya should really played Bogota & Monterrey Open for the third time anyway pick it up Nastya

maybe she is too fat, that's good excuse.

playing Bogota & Monterrey Open could been easy points

chunkova :facepalm:

Wow!

Talk about a bad start to a year (and end of last year as well).

Get better Pav's!!

what a bad loss, even for a slumping pav. hopefully she can turn things around soon.

Xeniya* probably played well. Pavlyuchenkova seems to slump lately, hope she'd hold things together.

Guess who's not going to London :facepalm: :facepalm:

Downward spiral. :shrug:

Way to early to write Nastya off and I certainly wouldn't do that. She has already demostrated she has to potential to be a top 10 player. But whether or not that potential is fulfilled is another thing altogether. She is still young and still in all likelihood has a long career ahead of her. That career could still go in a multitude of different directions and with a great range of success levels still possible.

But for the time being there is no question. Right now Nastya's tennis career is in a downward spiral. And Nastya is going to have to work very hard over the next few weeks to change that short-term course.

That's embarrassing. Good thing for Pav she did nothing at this time last year, either. Bad thing, she has Monterrey to defend.

Guess who's not going to London :facepalm: :facepalm:

She still has a chance I'd say. But whereas a few months ago she looked a lock for a place at the Olympics now at best it's a one in three shot.

Yeah, on balance I think the likelihood is she has blown it.

Nastia :facepalm:

True, but unless she does SOMETHING soon I highly doubt she will make it, at least not for singles.

What's happening to Pavlyuchenkova?! She has so much potential!

:cheer: Ksenia :inlove:

Wow...I thought Nastya could go all her way up but instead she goes to the other direction.:tape:

True, but unless she does SOMETHING soon I highly doubt she will make it, at least not for singles.

She surely won't make it in doubles. Pretty sure the Russian doubles teams will be Kuznetsova/Zvonareva and Kirilenko/Petrova.

Nastia WTF!!! :help:

:facepalm: Nastya

Ksyusha :cheer:

Nastya is :help:

Nastia better find some form be for RG she have QF Point to defend there

Nastia better find some form be for RG she have QF Point to defend there

I have no idea what is causing her lack of performance, but I suspect that thinking short term (e.g. RG) may be wrong thing to do. Nastya may have to deal with larger issues, for example she is becoming a grown woman and her weight may be affecting her to much larger degree than before. It is not only from fitness perspective, but perhaps more importantly speed and how it impacts timing. This could be at least three month project optimistically to address if all stars align themselves.

Nastia started this year very slowly. Who knows, this sport is very mental, and she has to figure it out for herself

Ksenia, two top 20 wins now :yeah:

I highly I guess She need a Know Fitness Team to help. But that an Issues that need to be fit as well.

No words :facepalm:

excpected.

seriously ?

please nastya retire. -_-

What's going on with Nastya? :(

One day she'll start winning (some) matches again, Have to be patient until then apparently.

Omg well done Ksenia :worship::hearts: finally found your form :D

What's going on with Nastya? :(

Too many off court activities :o
Which idiot arranges a photo shoot the day before they play

Ffs. She's been sucking ever since I clambered onto her bandwagon :facepalm:

Losing to Pervak :tape: yeah, the situation is bad, its really bad.

It's criminal really.

:spit:

A slump is here.

she had problems with her shoulder lately, she said. Also her coaching situation maybe isnt perfect either.
Well, and perhaps other problems.

Ksyusha :yeah:
Pavs :facepalm:

Nastya :weirdo: What's going on with her at the moment

:cheer:well done pervak.Never seen her play, but like her name, so I'll cheer for her.

why people like you bother to post?:rolleyes:

why people like you bother to post?:rolleyes:

I don't like pavs, so why can't I be happy for the person who beat her?

Something is up with Babyfat lately. Whether it's off-court activities, poor fitness or something else. I hope she can get it together, or else it's going to be a big drop.

maybe she is too fat, that's good excuse.

Lack of fitness and speed always catches up with them at some point. Is she going to get the message?
