Q1: Kirsten Flipkens vs Hannah Grady

Victim n°1 (I hope :angel: ;))
http://home19.inet.tele.dk/wta2/ifotohtm/iphoto/gra5349i.jpg

That's already 3 points for Evelyne! Top-4OO-ranking coming a bit closer again...

Not a bad idea trying to prove yourself a few weeks before the fedcup. She's 'reserve', does that mean she will replace another player when she plays better, or does she only play when another player is sick or injured?

Evelyne :woohoo: :bowdown:
Good luck in the next round! :):)

Nottingham $25,000:

:eek:

17 points: that means she'll be climbing to at least no. 385 in the rankings. Remember two weeks ago she was no. 645 in the world.

Great performance this week, Kirsten :yippee:

Sven

Kirsten keep going!! now again vs Anna T

Kirsten keep going!! now again vs Anna T

That's not gonna be easy: in the Moscow qualies earlier this month, Tchakvetadze beat Janette Husarova and then lost to Pisnik in three sets.
Kirsten's not the only one at a roll right now....

But you can do it Kirsten!

TBE = The Boiled Egg :p :wavey: ;)

wohooooow! Kirsten!!! Well done girl!
:bounce: :bounce: :worship: :worship:

Good luck against Bammer!!!

Kirsten :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

TBE = The Boiled Egg :p :wavey: ;)

Oh right, thanks!


If Kirsten beats Bammer she adds another 10 points (of which 2bp).
Hope Kirsten fares better than in their last encounter...
But losing to Bammer would be no shame of course: Bammer is playing her 4th 25K-final of the month (well, October, not November), she already won two.

C'mon Kirsten!

:worship: Kirsten :worship:

C'mon Kirsten!

Idd, Bammer is playing really well lately...the week after she defeated Kirsten in Cardiff (6-2 6-0), she lost to Pistolesi 6-4 2-6 6-2 in Linz...

Bammer (5) def. Flipkens (Q) 6-4 3-6 6-1 :sad: But what a week for her :yeah:

Kirsten :(

It's a pity such a great week has to end this way...
Congratulations for reaching the finals anyway!

Bammer (5) def. Flipkens (Q) 6-4 3-6 6-1 But what a week for her

Well it's a lot better than 2 weeks ago. I think those wins against top-200 and top-300-players and the close fight with Sharapova really boosted her confidence. I'll bet next time she faces Bammer, she'll win!

The next months should be great. Next week she's got 2.5 points to defend (she's not playing), and then up untill July 2004 she only has one point to defend (Antwerp 1st round). And she'll be playing her last Junior Tournament in two weeks. She's gonna hoover her way right up in the ranking.

Well done on reaching the final, Kirsten!!! :bounce:

Better luck next time :D

Too bad she lost, but at least she gave Bammer a fight! And that after a tough week! (don't forget she came straight from qualies!) :D

Congrats on a great tournament, Kirsten!!! :kiss: :bounce:
I can't wait to see how she will be doing next year! :p

:sad: kirsten but a great week :D:D

Kirsten :sad:

I just came home for the weekend, and wow she reached the finals!!! well done kirsten!!!! too bad she lost, but that's no shame of course!!!!
what is she playing for the rest of the year? a junior event and fedcup?
