Thanks for the video Dos Santos! Anyway Elina lost 46 60 60

Wonder what happened after winning the first set.

Elina in Brussels

PerfectForm · May 17th, 2011, 03:51 PM

Thanks for the great pics Spice!

On a bad note, Elina drew top seed, Pivovarova in RG qualies

PerfectForm · May 18th, 2011, 05:31 PM

Lost 16 46

not surprised she lost, but surprised she didn't make it more competitive because Pivovarova does not hit that hard to blow her off so easily. Perhaps its nerves.

Elina's formspring

Some very interesting questions there

Thanks 50-50. Btw, Elina is in the qtrs of a Czech 25K ITF this week

Smart move to ditch RG juniors to earn valuable points.

She's in the semifinals after beating former top 100 player Voracova 62 75

Btw, did you guys see her picture on formspring?

I don't think Laura Robson would approve...

Elina is still under are restriction rule. How many more tournaments is she allowed to play before she turns 17?

She's not transitioning well from juniors. But neither do most of other players. I guess we'll have to be patient about her potential breakthrough.

PerfectForm · Jun 5th, 2011, 03:47 PM

Actually, I think she is transiting relatively well.

Other top juniors like Pivovarova, Gavrilova and even Pavlychenkova were stucked in the 500s/600s for the first 2 years they started ITFs. Elina only started ITFs last year and with her limited schedule so far has reached a career high of 300+, made 25K finals & 50K qtrs which is quite an achievement.
