That's a nice effort. Good luck to her in the main draw.

CONGRATS Olga for defeating Irina Falconi, 76(5) 67(2) 63!

Her last main draw win was against Monica Adamczak at the AO in 2008.

Double-breadsticked by Errani, but great tournament, now on the cusp of the Top 100 again

#1 seed in qualies. Draws Daria. That's as good as a walkover

(1)Olga Puchkova (RUS) v Daria Gavrilova (RUS)
Polina Pekhova (BLR) v Valeria Solovieva (RUS)
(wc)Mayya Katsitadze (RUS) v Ekaterina Yashina (RUS)
Paula Kania (POL) v (8)Ekaterina Bychkova (RUS)

Defeated Daria 1 & 4. Polina is next.

Olga goes from getting to the 3rd round of the USO as a qualifier, to being defeated by #315 ranked Polina Pekhova in the 2nd round of Tashkent qualies, 64 67(4) 57. Polina had 28 double faults! How could she lose this?

I think that Olga is a player that knows her value and doesn't play that well on sucky tournaments' qualifying draws... That might be how her mind actually works

Thank God she's back in the top 100

Sammo · Sep 10th, 2012, 11:03 AM

World number 99

Great start in singles. I think this will really be a chance for Olga to regroup and gain some confidence. I also read she has returning to Maryland to train. This is where she was training when she rose to right around the top 30 in the world. Maybe she is really going to dedicate herself again. I hope she is going to turn her career around!

If there's anyone interested I found this footage
