A girl to watch IMO!

She's 18 years old (born Jun 6, 1994), who's been having quite good results over the last few months!

She finished 2012 with a ranking (777) for the 1st time, and is currently ranked 700. :)

So far, she's played 3 tournaments in 2013, 3 Sharm-El-Sheikh 10Ks:

- in the 1st one (2 weeks ago), she went all her way as a qualifier to the final, where she lost to Lara Michel in 3 sets. On her way to the final, she beat the Seed 3 Melis Sezer & the Seed 6 Daria Mironova. :yeah:

- she reached the QF in the 2nd one (last week), beating on her way the Seed 8 Iva Mekovec, before falling to Doroteja Eric the eventual runner-up. :)

- and this week again she reached the QF, beating the Seed 2 Tig, before falling against Ipek Soylu.

Her best results so far are: this final in 10K Sharm-El-Sheikh 2 weeks, ago, and last year: 2 SFs, in 10K Prague & 10K Piestany and a QF in 15K Vendryne. :)

So, so far she's had good scalps, and seems to be improving fast. Let's see how she goes this year! :D :cheer:

I'm glad Gerry is around, because there's no real community here for the Czechs and the Russians like you have for some of the other players.

Only thing is Gerry tends to burn herself out with enthusiasm-- she's been off-site for three months. Come back, Gerry!
