Maria Marfutina
 

She is a 14 year old junior from Russia who is coming onto the Junior tour quite well, winning a few singles and doubles titles. Her and Erika Hendsel (who are BFFs and doubles partners) are my favourite team and they won a G4 in Malta, as well as a semi final after that. Maria is especially good on clay, winning a G4 then a final in a row, also a G5 and a G5 Final. She is around the 200 mark and has a bright future.

Last week she made second round of a G2, losing to Rosatello (I think a finalist)

She got a SE this week into a G2 in Italy but sadly lost first round 63 64 :sad:
Still a great performance :)

Here is her profile:

This week she is at Career High of 215!!!

She's training in Slovakia, coached by Janette Husarova. That's cool! :D

Unfortunately, bad luck for Masha, both at Eddie Herr and Orange Bowl where she lost in R1, to Becca Peterson 1-6 2-6 at Eddie Herr, and to qualifier Olga Fridman 3-6 1-6. :sad:

She'll try 10K Antalya qualies next week. :)
