Maybe you'll get another chance to see her if she wins!

croat123 · Mar 21st, 2007, 01:55 AM

i'll definately see her at the luxilon cup

tennismaster8820 · Mar 21st, 2007, 07:32 PM

Petra is having great chance to win this match! Play is suspended at 6/4, 4/6, 6/6 and 4/4 in tiebreak!

She needs a bit of luck to get through this match!
Good luck!

tennismaster8820 · Mar 21st, 2007, 10:25 PM

Oh I'm starting to think that I bring bad luck to all the players who I support!

croat123 · Mar 22nd, 2007, 04:23 AM

i went 0 for 8 today on player i supported and whose matches i went too
i ended up skipping class to see martic. she's awesome, but she was so nervous.
rain started falling when she was up 4-1 and she asked the ump to stop play because she was afraid of slipping. then, she ended up slipping on a line at 4-3 and they finally suspended play.
i wrote a full report in the score thread in GM
iva majoli was at the match (i got a picture with her

). she has offered martic a wc into the 75K zagreb. petra just needs more matches, she was the better player today. she had terrible luck at 4-5 in the second with two net cords going against her and she was the victim of a bad call while jidkova was serving to stay in it in the third.

You also bring bad luck to your favs!

I'm hoping Petra will play Majoli's tournament so I could go there to watch her!

croat123, if you will watch Petra at luxilon cup, just give a short report how she played, thanks!

croat123 · Mar 28th, 2007, 05:43 AM

i saw her today. de brito injured her back in practice and pulled out. tara moore was really short, but quite heavy (i.e. fat) and hit a huge ball. she tried to play sprem-like tennis and really hit some great shots, but also made a lot of errors. martic's serve was just too much for moore to handle. petra had about 10 aces in the match and 0 double faults. the only thing she should have done more of in the second set was come to net, other than that it was a solid match. hopefully she wins tomorrow (i can't go

)

Thanks for the info...

Thanks for the report!

I was really impressed with Petra.

I saw all of her matches at the Luxilon Cup and she was great.

She just does everything really solid and her serve is so tough to break when she's serving well.

Against her first two opponents she was just clearly better than them and she really gave Hendler a spanking infront of all of Hendler's Bolleteri people. I think Petra was really focused for this match.

Against Cirstea she fought really hard coming back from 0-4 down to get it to 5-5, saving two set points at 4-*5. Cirstea served for the set against at 6-5, but Petra hit great shots to get it to a tiebreak. She played a bad tiebreak, lost the set, and just deflated in the second set.

But I was really impressed with her.

tennismaster8820 · Mar 30th, 2007, 09:37 PM

Thanks Derek!
I hope she'll improve and have good career!

Viktymise · Mar 30th, 2007, 11:35 PM

Good luck in the future Petra

Croatia have so much talent in tennis right now
