Olga Fridman
 

Just wanted to create a thread for a potential good player of the future.
She's had a great run recently winning two G3 junior tournaments and is now the youngest player in the top 200 junior rankings.

She turned 14 two months ago and is a lefty.

Here's a vid of her winning the euro junior champs a few months ago.
She's the one in all white.

Nice groundstrokes, but she has to improve that serve. She'll be eaten alive in the pro circuit with a serve like that.

Re: Olga Fridman
 

She's very impressive, currently #1 on Tennis Europe 14&U rankings. :)

Re: Olga Fridman
 

Olga is seeded 7 in the qualifying for the G1 Eddie Herr International this week. She won her first round 60 61. She is up next against WC Cortney Cesarini.

Olya :cheer: :hearts:

She managed to qualify at Eddie Herr eventually, and even reached R2 where she lost to Ana Konjuh (the eventual winner), managing to take her a set. :yeah: (she lost 6-3 4-6 2-6).

She also qualified at Orange Bowl, and then beat Marfutina 6-3 6-1 in R1. She's playing R2 against (11) Alexandra Kiick, today I suppose, it's gonna be hard but if she managed to take a set from Konjuh, nothing is impossible. :)

Davay, Olya! :cheer: :D

Re: Olga Fridman
 

Oh, just checked @zootennis ' twitter account and apparently she lost. :sad:

Oh, anyways. Great job in qualifying and winning a MD match in both Eddie Herr & Orange Bowl. :yeah: :hug:

I see that she's playing 10K Antalya Q next week. :) Good luck Olya!

Re: Olga Fridman
 

(11)Alexandra Kiick (USA) d. (Q)Olga Fridman (UKR) 46 61 75

That's the actual score.

Another great battle, she took a set from another great player. Soon she will win those matches. :yeah: :hug:
