Anetts famous grunt reached the times!!!!!

An interesting article. So, basically her coach has pointed out to her that grunting helps her to stay focused and produce better results and kind-of insists on doing it

Martens turning into Karatantchevas father. Telling his daughter to take vitamins which were actually drugs. Still, if it actually helps?

Anett Kontaveit def. Bibiane Schoofs 46 76(3) 61!!!!!!!!!! I soooo want her to pull out of Tallinn 10K. If she could do this consistenly, she would be able to make the quarters of some wtas!!!

Anett Kontaveit (EST) d. Bibiane Schoofs (NED) 46 76(3) 61

Another very good win for Anett

Looks like she really is playing at least on the level of top 200 right now?
But here's a fun fact: Last year Anett played 13 tiebreaks and won 11(!) of them. This year she has played 4 and won 2.

But the ones shes won have actually been career changing important matches whereas the ones against townsend and lee wouldnt have been career changing. The thing I love was that she outdid Bibi mentally. This is a ood sin of what is to come!

You know, I've been always thinking that big countries' juniors have it maybe a bit easier, because they will be offered WCs to various events, so they can gain some valuable experience against much higher ranked players. But Fed Cup has now actually worked out even better for Anett. She got a chance to play 3 matches, at a regular tournament it would have been just the first loss, and then bye bye.

A very legitimate point. Im hoping ether copenhagen or bastad give her a wildcard due to her form. shed almost make copenhagen qualies with her ranking!!!

A 0 and 0 loss from kontaveit/vorobjova. where did that come from???

chingching · Feb 5th, 2012, 11:00 AM

She still hasnt puleed out of Tallinn 10K 2

Here is a short video clip about the Estonian Fed Cup team arriving back: http://sport.err.ee/tennis/5e2d8b6a-...6-0a28ae989e89

Anett says she can now be at home for a while - play one Tallinn tournament and attend school. Then she plans to go and play women's tour, but she is not yet sure where exactly.

chingching · Feb 7th, 2012, 03:52 AM

Its probably a good idea that she stays at home, get some rest and go to school. Her wins at Fed Cup were great, and im sure that she will have a larger fan base in estonia now. Hopefully some people will watch her play at Rocca al Mare!

chingching · Feb 10th, 2012, 06:35 AM

Indy de Vroome has been given a MWC to to Tallinn 1 and presumably Tallinn 2 so hopefully they play dubs together. They seemed to be a good team at Au Open

These are the tournaments that will be in EUROPE until early June. Perhaps Moscow/Bath on 19 march and then she could do the G1 Citta di Croce and Trofeo Bonfiglio followed by Grado then a week off and then Paris for Roland Garros. She could play 100k Cagnes Sur Mer but she would need to play probably 2 25ks and win them both to get into qualies.

Anett is now officially not making the trip to Asia as she is not on the entry lists.

WhoAmI? · Feb 14th, 2012, 01:20 PM

Anett's schedule should look like this:

10k Tallinn 2 in February
25k Bath, GBR in March
25k Tunis, TUN in April
25k Chiasso, SUI in April

In juniors she's planning to play just GS, and one tournament in Italy (I assume it's the Italian Open), and maybe some more in the end of the year in USA.
