Agree. Clearly Monica has nothing left to prove at 25K level.

Good luck Monica.

(((((((((((((((((

Marina and Monica are into the doubles final....without loosing more than 3 games in a set

[PerfectForm]

Looks like Monica didnt have the mental believe (or maybe even fitness) to pull through the third set. Most likely she had match point opportunities in the second set & missed them.

Is Monica Niculescu going to be playing at the ASB Classic?

Monica's Quotes in a romanian magazine

Q: What was good in 2007?

M.C. : 2007 was very interesting, maybe the most interesting for me till now ... The best thing, I say, was in the beginning of august, when I together with my coach Calin Ciorbagiou decided to make radical changes in my game. We changed the Forehand, serve and the smash, and tacticswise, I moved from a rather defensive game based on much slice to one more offensive. It's the year in which I got reinvented as a tennis player, maybe as I play also.

And the 2nd one

Q. Whats your dream in 2008?

M.N. in the Firstly, I wish to be healthy. In the secondly, to play with the same pleasure as I did in the end of this year. Thirdly, I want to play well, and if I play well, I believe in entering top100, and then, depending on how fast I will achieve it, to "focalise" into the top50. Obviously, I gotta improve what I began. I still have a lot to work, especially on the serve and forehand, but I feel I'm not the right way. I hope 2008 will be like my coach says: "The Monica Niculescu Year".

I am really impressed by the bold parts

I believe the translation is 100% correct

[Shvedbarilescu]
