Anett Kontaveit is 14 years old tennis player. She won Estonian national championships in 2009. Could she be new star for Estonia in future? Atleast there is hope for that. This thread is for her. So let`s share Anett`s tennis results and talk about her tennis.

Anetts chiasso field released tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully weaker than last years
I think that if she can get 60 points approximately (winner in tunis and quarters in chiasso or semis in chiasso finals in tunis) that would be a good result. I have thought of a potentially good schedule (i hope she reads and chooses this one ;):
1. 25K Tunis
2. 25K Chiasso
3. Week Off
4. G1 Italy
5. GA Italy
6. Week Off
7. French Open
8. Week Off
9. 25K Kristinehamm
10. Week Off/G1 Roehampton
11. Wimbledon
12. Week Off
13. WTA Bastad
14. WTA Baku

I know its quite packed but I belive that it gets the most out of the tournaments

My reasoning:
1 + 2: I wouldnt have put these but shes already committed
3 + 4 + 5: She can head to Italy and play some matches to get used to teh flow of juniors again and get her ranking up
6 + 7: She could play Astrid Bowl in week 6 but 6 tournaments in 7 weeks is hard work especially if your reaching the last few days of every one. Plus, the ranking points for this tournament dont count for French Open Seedings. French Open is a good choice and if she can get around 1000 Points alltogether from these junior events (including doubles) she might get more junior exempts for next year, if she needs them
8 + 9: It would be nice to play an easier 25K which it wwill be because all the players in the top 220 will be a wimbly qualies and she should get into maindraw
10: I think she should have a week off and practice for wimbledon instead of going from clay to grass in potentially a day, especially when she hasnt had much experience on grass. It has worked for champions like sharapova and willimas in the past
11: Wimbledon juniors may be her last slam
12: Week off for training
13 + 14: Weaker Wtas which she can play to get some more experience. A WC may be necessary for Bastad but I highly doubt it for Baku. She has a good chance of making some Maindraws and except for the quick change of surface, these tournaments would be perfect. To add to the normal weakness of these tournaments, they also collide with the US hardcourt swing this year due to olympics, meaning they will be even weaker

EXCITING!!!!! If only Estonia had a WTA, or a 50-100K challeneger or even a 25K challenger given the tournaments anett is playing right now!!! I like that shes training in estonia and not becoming a bollitieri girl!!! Her and Marten seem to be getting on well. Its weird that shes not training on clay. I mean, if it's been raining in tallinn, dont tere tennisekeskus (where she was just playing) have indoor clay courts???

I shouldnt say what if, but its hared not too
I would be very interested in her schedule after roland garros because there are so many options
The list has basically stayed stationary in the last day, no major withdrawels. Anett has a good shot at this tournaments, lets hope she can pick up off last years clay form (her last match was winning savitaipale!!!)

I think the date and time on the ITF page is the deadline for the players to apply. I can only guess that after that the organizers will upload the list, but no one can tell when they get to it. Usually it is published in the evening of the deadline day.

Woot!!!!!! :cheer:
The WTA really have to redo the points system. How is it fair that Anett would have gotten more points for winning a 10K than for making FQR at a WTA. Her, Tsurenko and all the other FQR makers would easily win 10s, maybe even 25s

Anyway, after Tunis and Chiasso, her ranking will be high enough to make 25ks on their own!!!

There have been some withdrawels from Chiasso. It is unlikely this years field will be as strong as last years. Anyway, it is still going to be very difficult for Anett.
No one from Tunis will withdraw from now, so the field is basically set except for people who may withdraw the day before or something. Anyway, Anett should try and move onto higher money events. She has already proven shes capable of beating higher ranked opponents.

Something I just realised was that there are a few walking byes in Chiasso: Bremond (hasnt won a match except in a 10K), pivovarova, buzarnescu doesnt seem to be on top of her game etc. So if Anett for example can get a draw like:
Savchuk
Qualifier
Bremond
Putintseva
Schoofs
Robson

She has a shot at causing a rattle given these players are not necessarily claycourt specialists (robson, gronert)
 
#712 ·
Yeah, both Tunis and especially Chiasso seem to be much stronger than Bath was. Btw, tomorrow evening the list for G1 in Italy on the week of 14th May should be out as well, so we will see if Anett is going to play there. I'd assume she plays this and Trofeo Bonfiglio, then rest for a week and then RG.

Translation from NashaMasha (Russia):
Chubby-headed lover of moaning and shrieking on court(her coach considers that it helps her focus on shots)has long been in mind for the young talents' hunters. It is tempting to draw parallels with Kiai Kanepi (girls are similar in constitution)but young Annette has less pace and power in her attack , and sometimes she has too lazy footwork. But she has a rare quality for juniors - the ability to win, especially when she is not playing really well,that's why she has so few random losses in the junior tour.And at the last Orange Bowl, she passed straight through Indy De Vroome, Eugenie Bouchard and Putintseva.Another advantage over her peers is that Anette is hardened in combat - she has repeatedly had to meet with the elite WTA palyers in the Federation Cup. Of course she used to lose easily to Martinez Sanchez, Suarez Navarro, Pironkova or Azarenka. However this year in this team tournament she managed to defeat Wimbledon quterfinalist Tamira Paszek and №156 in the world Bibiane Schoofs

agreed
But I think the comments about Juniors is a bit floored. I know this year she has only lost to townsend but I believe that she in genreal plays better in pros then juniors. Mayeb its because she is more of the under dog or something, but I think if she played khromacheva or townsend in a 10k OR 25k SHE WOULD DO MUCH BETTER

BTW, does anyone else think that Anett could make Aussie Open qualies??? I hope she does, then I can watch her play!!!! She could also play some of the 25Ks after the tournament, if she is still playing 25s on a regular basis at that stage.

I am hoping that next year Estonia can get some better tournaments. Maybe move the 2 10Ks to the clay of Kuressaare and Tere with the men and put 1 25K at the beginning of teh year at TAM or Tere, meaning the tennis centres get 1 each, and bring some money to saaremaa.

For those who prefer the article in Estonian, here it is from eesti paevaleht:
http://www.epl.ee/news/sport/taismah....d?id=64268303

I think Chiasso will be weaker than last year with 1 or 2 people withdrawing each day. Now LDA is 204
As I said before though, teh girls who are entered arent necessarily the best players despite their intimidating rankings

Btw the list for Trofeo Bonfiglio is out, Anett is currently 9th.

No Khromacheva this time :oh: so not sure if any of the girls ahead of her would be a real threat. Many (if not all) of them have gained points by only winning the tournaments in South-America. Then again, you never know with the juniors.

Why is it already out!!!! Citta di Croce was only released 2 days ago :confused:
Still, thats great!!!
Youre right about the list. IMO, the only players that can harm her are Gonzalez and Schmiedlova. Besides thaa, they are all phoneys!!!!
Anyway, she will be favourite to take this title. I was so surprised when I saw ash barty on G1 list, but whats even more surprising is that shes playing that only and not this!!!

250 points will be nice for her ranking, and she will be the first player in quite a while to old 2 GAs at the same time (was gavrilova the last???).

If she does win (sadly no dubs with indy, which shocks me cause a asked indy on facebook and she said she would be playing dubs with anett all year in juniors and maybe seniors [i wanted them to play tallinn 10K V for dubs, with anett not playing singles]) she will go up to no. 5 assuming she doesnt get any doubles points and that danilina makes trofeo bonfiglio as one of her counted tourneys
