Still doesn't have a sponsor She says that Magda recently has been to Switzerland to watch trainings of Federer and Kasia can afford easily to go South America, even with brother. Both have decent sponsor, she doesn't.
Now, poor Paula even doesn't have a coach as her previous one wanted to sign 5-year contract with him and there were some fines included and she didn't want to make the same mistake as Marta Domachowska did with a sponsor. :shrug:
(7)Tamarine Tanasugarn (THA) v Yuliya Beygelzimer (UKR)
Nadiya Kichenok (UKR) v (wc)Anastasiya Yepisheva (KAZ)
Margarita Gasparyan (RUS) v Paula Kania (POL)
(4)Alexandra Panova (RUS) v (wc)Asiya Dair (KAZ)
It's gonna be difficult to defend SF points with players like Panova, Tanasugarn or Kichenok in the draw...
That's what she is doing actually.
In Wimbledon she was training with Maryna Zanevska and her coach, but being coachless for a longer period of time won't be good for her career + as we've seen from her career she just is not good enough for hardcourts right now. On claycourts she's superior due to her excellent physical resistance and good movement. Primarily she's either good on clay and fast courts (indoors, grass) due to her good net and attacking game + brilliant drop shots. I just wish she took 100% risk and hired a good coach like Tomasz Iwanski. On hardcourt she just needs good tactics and experience... Just hope she beats one day a solid ballbasher on fast courts like Gasparyan, Coin or Kalashnikova, so far she's doing it well on clay (wins over Kovinic, Babos).

Read my edited post above first.
As stated, so far in her career she has either good results on fast courts or clay court + never beaten a hardhitter on hardcourts.
Ugh, Gasparyan occured a very big test for Panova afterwards...
Anyway, there is a semifinal in doubles. Good warmup for hardcourt season.
Hopefully she and Magda can play doubles during US Open.
SF in doubles in Astana, and she has her best doubles ranking now: 115.
Already SF in Donetsk, so it gotta be even higher.
In Donetsk in singles, she beat Mestach, 6:4 6:4, but lost to Babos 3:6 4:6. No shame, she's yet to learn how to win with big servers on surfaces other than clay.
