Katya :sad: :sad: She wasted too many opportunities. She was led 1*/4 in both sets.In the first set, she came back to 4/4 then lost her serve before breaking back, then she wasted some gps and was broken again.In the second set, she came back from 4/1* to 4*/3 and had 2 Bps to come back at 5/5 but wasted them :mad: I wish she knew how to play well on big points :( :( but I guess she is learning :D Better luck in doubles Kateryna!

I didn't witness it, but I was told that the Bondarenko sisters had a fight during their doubles match today. They lost in straight sets to Dominguez Lino and Vento-Kabchi.

Katya :sad: :hug:
I didn't see the match but I think she played well.Pushing a top 20 player to 3 tight sets in front of her home crowd is definitly a nice performance :yeah: :D
Btw,she is still alive in doubles.She qualified with Azarenka (what a nice combination :p ) for the main draw;they play Vanc/Beygelzimer in the first round. Davai girls :bounce: :rocker:
Thanks Vero once again for the great pics :hug: I also wonder what's wrong with Katya's arm :shrug: The banding is quite huge :sad:
