I noticed that Kiki did not have her own thread. But after her recent results I think she deserves one.
Profile
Code:
Name: Kiki Bertens
Date of Birth: 10th of December 1991
Residence: Wateringen
Age started tennis: 6 y.o.
Coach: Martin van der Brugghen
Tennis clubs: ATV Berkenrode/ competition for: Lobbelaer
Beining nominated is quite an honour
But she did have a great season. And unexpected as well. I mean Laura and Sloane were promising juniors who people knew about and were expected to do well.
EDIT: Robson won the WTA Newcomer of the Year Award.
Impossible to say anything about the outcome of this match. Sveta's last match was at Wimbledon.
I can see some chances in the draw for Kiki if she's able to win her 1st match
Kiki def Sveta 6-7 (5) 6-2 7-5
Could have finished it earlier in the final set, but she said she was a bit nervous. She was serving at 4-2 in that final set. Can't remember if she had a GP in that game.
63% 1st serves in (63% for Sveta) 68% points won on 1st serve (61%) 7 aces / 10 DF (3 aces / 8 DF) 23 FH winners (6) 5 BH winners (8) 9 net points won (5) 49 UE (51)
There was a lot of wind and conditions were tough.
In the 2nd set she was a lot more consistent than in the 1st, and in the 3rd she could finish it off in the end
Next up is Heather Watson. She defeated Cirstea by retirement in the 1st round.
Interesting match. Kiki leads the H2H by 1-0. Had a victory over Heather in Luxembourg 2011, but alot has changed since then for both ladies.
Kiki has a chance, but needs to keep the UE's down.
Kom op Kiki :yeah:
Great win and a great way to start the season with a WTA QF
If she defeats Hampton I do think she has to let go of the Sydney Q, because that starts on Friday I think.
But defeating Hampton would give her even more points than qualifying for the MD of Sydney so please roll on Kiki
Really nice win there again from Kiki :yeah: Off to a good start this season. Good for her confidence.
Chances in the QF as well. I like both Kiki and Jamie, but I’m cheering for Kiki
Credits to Bertens!, Gets a bad line call to go down 4-5 (mini break) & comes out and plays 3 perfect points, mentally tough. Come on Kiki, take the third now!
Had a linecall against her on breakpoint for her down 2-4* in the 3rd, lost the game and then lost her serve.
She also had a breakpoint in the 1st game of the 3rd set but didn't take it.
She fought hard but just to many UE's, she had like 60 or so Some unbelievable winners too but thats not enough against Hampton who played pretty solid.
