RG 2012 : breakthrough

4 players reached 4th round in GS for 1st time
Lepchenko:)
Stephens:)
Rus :)
Martic:)


these 4 has better result and non-top 10 players
Zakapolova (2nd 4th round)
Errani (AO qf)
Kanepi (3x GS qf)
Shvedova (2010 qf)

the best among 9 non-top 10 is cibulkova...2009 FO sf:worship:


should rus wins against kanepi, she will join the qf club

among these 9, rus/kanepi will go to qf while errani has the shot against kutnezsova (if kutz plays badly)
the rest maybe not this year

Rus in a slam QF.:lol: Who would've thought of that.:oh:

Well some of these players really had very easy draws and got there without having to beat any top 10 player.
For me breakthrough is when you beat some top 10 player on your way, not players who you are supposed to beat anyway or players who are not that good but still ranked higher..
