Wonderful news from Ana these days...after taking her chance against a wild-card Witthoeft (16 y.o., current and career-high #788) and beating her 7:5, 6:2 in QR1 of a Premier WTA tournament in Stuttgart, today she beat a much better known opponent, Zarina Diyas (former junior prodigy, took out Jankovic last year in Baku if I remember correctly...), it was 6:4, 7:5. A very nice nice scoreline, considering Diyas is at her best ever ranking of 143.
For a place in the main draw, Ana will play the winner of the 6th seed Hampton and unseeded K. Kucova. Considering she lost in QR1 last year, she's already done a great job cause she's sure to jump about 10 ranking spots, but it could be 5 more if she'd qualify.
Ajmo Ana
