Q2 Lemmens - Michallek

Conrad was seeded ;)

:bounce: :banana: Goele

Don't know much about her, but I remember her being compared to Aude Vermoezen last year in the paper ("De Morgen"). She should be quite good I think.
Anyone who knows more about her?

anyone know what Kirsten is doing? :confused:

anyone know what Kirsten is doing? :confused:
Take a look in her new thread ;) Flippin' Flipper ;) :bounce:

Maindraw first round starts tommorow, probably late tday or tommorow ;)

Stefanie De Laet isn't in Hull...and Elke hasn't seen there either so far... :scratch: But she didn't withdraw I think :)

Yeah, a good match from Kim, better than I expected! But I think it'll be too short against a better opponent, she was tentative when she was running I think, but she was aggressive so it was good!

Good results :D

Yeah, a good match from Kim, better than I expected! But I think it'll be too short against a better opponent, she was tentative when she was running I think, but she was aggressive so it was good! Yes but hopefully she will lift for a better opponent. Now she has played a match hopefully it will just get better and her confidence will go up:) and hopfully she won't be as tentative when she is running then.

Elke Clijsters has withdrawn from ITF-Hull, probably due to her injury...

Good luck Goele :D (I saw her play in Mol 3 years ago)

And Kim and Justine and Els and all the other girls :D

So, she will fall down the rankings again :awww: probably not in Tipton too :sad:

Get well soon Elke!!!!! :hug:

no, she has withdrawn from Tipton too :(

So, she will fall down the rankings again :awww:

She is going to fall out of the top-500 :(

She is going to fall out of the top-500 :(

Oh no :(

This will be enough to get the bashers starting again :(

Oh no :(

This will be enough to get the bashers starting again :(
Do we care? ;)

Anyway, being ranked outside the top-500 means having to play qualifying matches for $10,000 challengers :eek:
It's going to be a tough year for her :o

'Normally' that shouldn't be a big problem for Elke...but she said she want to be top-150 at the end of the year, otherwise she will think about her tennisfuture ;)

Kim won :woohoo: :yippee: :yippee:

'Normally' that shouldn't be a big problem for Elke...
Unless she faces Jenny Kühn :o :tape:

but she said she want to be top-150 at the end of the year, otherwise she will think about her tennisfuture ;)

Yeah, I'm afraid she might retire at 20... Didn't she once say in an interview that she wanted to become an actress? :)

Wasn't Julie Stas playing here too??

Ouch Aude! :(
She's so inconsistent... :o
I have a feeling this is her shoulder again. All those matches the last two weeks. Let it rest, Aude!

Justine Henin-Hardenne (1) vs. Camille Pin 6-1, 6-4 :yeah:

:sad: Aude
:bounce: Claudia
:bounce: :yeah: Goelle

Wasn't Julie Stas playing here too??
Yeah, but she wasn't in the maindraw :scratch:

Justine :yeah: Camille has the forehand of Tauziat (technically, not power) and the slice backhands of Loit...but she couldn't trouble Justine too much this night :)

So, she will fall down the rankings again


Not nessecarely I think, she's still on the commitmentlist for Vale do lobo in two weeks and Albufiera and Sunderland the week after that. Those are tournaments where she can still use the ranking she's got now, so if she plays there and she can do well, she could still be in the top 500 ...

In the article that was in 'Dag Allemaal' a few weeks ago, she already said she would miss the first couple of weeks because of her injury but that she would start playing tournaments after the AO and try to get a better rank. So let's hope she can play after AO and limit the damage of loosing point in Hull and Tipton

Good luck Elke :yeah:

Aude, who playing that much while injured :sad:
Goelle is cruising through the draw till now :D
Claudia :)
Justine :D

Hopefully Elke will make her own dreams come through, I still believe in her :D

Mixed doubles:
R1: Sargis Sargsian ARM & Elena Dementieva RUS vs. Robbie Koenig RSA & Els Callens BEL

GoGo Robbie and Els :yippee:

I have a feeling this is her shoulder again. All those matches the last two weeks. Let it rest, Aude!

No, she hurt herself the day before the match (abdominal strain). She has to rest for two weeks. She already withdrew from the double event.

auch, and just now she was doing so well ... :sad:
it seems like she doesn't have much luck with injuries :fiery: :sad:

BTW, I read in Tennis Magazine that Els won the Open LE Touquet against Mikaelian in 3 sets ;) I'll tell you more about it tomorrow

is Kim's match on TV tonight in Belgium?!
Canvas not... La Deux perhaps?!

La Deux shows every match of our girls LIVE, cuz they are on the showcourts anayway :) :D So Kim's match too, and if JCF plays like last tuesday, we'll see Kim @ 2.30am-3.00am :)

OK, thanks Wimanna

After tha AO I'm gonna send a mail to the RTBF to thank them for showing the Belgians :)

$25.000-torunaments only have 2 rounds of qualifying. Evelyne is one of the 8 qualifiers in the maindraw ;)

Oooh that's so great! 1.5 points each for qualifying, plus 1 bonuspoint each for beating Canepa (Evelyne) and Misevdingskes (Leslie). Leslie now has to play qualifier Remis (357), and Evelyne plays Maria Geznenge (235).
If they win their first round they get respectively 4.5 and 5.5 points extra.

Gooooooo Evelyne and Leslie !

Artikel in De Morgen van een jaar geleden:

Sonja Stappers uit Lummen zit hier al van drie uur, het is haast een dagelijkse gewoonte. Dat heb je met een dochter die gebeten is door de tennismicrobe. Ze maakt de rekening op. Wekelijks twaalf uur trainen in de Boneput plus nog eens drie uur conditietraining in Merksem, tel uit de kilometers. Weekends gaan op aan wedstrijden en toernooien. Tijd om zelf tennis te spelen heeft ze allang niet meer, laat staan dat ze er nog een sociaal leven op na houdt. Dochter Goele Lemmens werd ontdekt toen ze nog geen vier jaar oud was. "Ze stond met mij op het tennisveld", vertelt Sonja. "De trainer zag meteen dat ze balgevoel had. We mochten niet langer wachten, zei hij, want Steffi Graf is ook op vier jaar begonnen." Niet Steffi Graf maar Kim Clijsters is nu het voorbeeld waaraan de dertienjarige Goele zich spiegelt. Dat ze zelf talent heeft, staat vast. Ze won al een internationaal toernooi in het Franse Nancy, in België staat ze als de nummer vier van haar leeftijdscategorie te boek. Vorig jaar zat ze op sport en studie van de VTV. De reden voor haar vertrek uit Wilrijk varieert naargelang de bron. Als je het in kringen van rivalen vraagt, verneem je dat ze te licht werd bevonden. Zelf geeft ze een andere, minstens even plausibele uitleg. Ze heeft het spoor gevolgd van haar trainer, die ook van Wilrijk naar Bree is overgestapt. Bovendien was ze niet te spreken over het studieniveau op het atheneum. "Ik kan me geen toekomst buiten het tennis voorstellen", zegt Goele. "Ik wil profspeelster worden, de topdertig is mijn doel." Net iets bescheidener dus dan Aude Vermoezen, wier naam aan deze tafel een merkwaardig effect sorteert. Moeder Sonja haalt de hakbijl boven. "Heb je dat gezien op de televisie?", vraagt ze. "Zomaar beweren dat ze beter is dan Clijsters en Henin, dat is toch al te belachelijk. Pas op, Aude is goed, maar ons Goele heeft al van haar gewonnen. Aude klopt harder, maar Goele heeft een betere techniek. Dat meisje heeft het lichaam van een volwassen vrouw, daarom kan ze nu voorsprong nemen. Als Goele haar scheut krijgt, kan ze net zo hard slaan en dan zullen we nog wel zien wie de beste is. Maar het is niet eerlijk. Goele krijgt geen kans meer om zich met Aude te meten, want die wil niet meer in haar eigen leeftijdscategorie spelen. Zo is het natuurlijk gemakkelijk om de beste van België te blijven." Goele laat zich niet onbetuigd in deze operatie beschadiging. "Ik ben al met Aude op toernooi geweest in het buitenland", zegt ze. "Als haar ouders hun rug hebben gekeerd, hangt ze de bitch uit. Volgens mij zijn die ouders trouwens niet normaal. Voor iedere wedstrijd moet ze van haar moeder een half uur mediteren, dan mag niemand anders de kleedkamer binnen."

Well she's only been around for about 2 years ;) She's a late bloomer I think.. She never played Juniors, did she?

When I talked to her father last year, he told me that Evelyne wanted to finish secundary school before fully concentrating on her tennis. She has a degree in Sciences - Maths if I'm not mistaken.

BTW, well done Evelyne :woohoo:

Leslie, Debbrich and Caroline (in doubles) :sad:

Evelyne was quite impressive in the qualifications by the way:
d. Font 63 61
d. Canepa 63 60 :yeah:
Canepa is WTA-335, Evelyne is 414. :)

Leslie d. Wellauer 64 60, d. Miseviciute 26 64 76 (13!)

Tnx caafje ;)
Wow, Evelyne is stepping up some gears ;) :yeah:
Great battle from Leslie there :yeah:

Gooooo Belgian girls!!!! :bounce:
Good they are making the transition from 10.000 to 25.000 and survive the quallies, some good results can make a significant jump in the ranks :D

:)

Gooooooo Evelyne and Leslie !
Whiiiii, Evelyne now idd gained 8 points so far :yeah: I think she now has 46.75 points, 0.25 more than Kirsten...so she will be ranked around 377 as for now ;)
