When is it exactly, in January? Will there be one 25k instead of two 10k-s?

Last week of February.

Right now there´s only one and it probably stays right this.

[chingching]

It's probably to attract Anett
I think that it is not a bad idea as it means they can do WC trades
I wonder how it will turn out? Will it be at Tere?

[chingching]

This week:
Eva Paalma, Erika Hendsel in Stockholm 10K: http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/...tid=1100027526
Tatjana Vorobjova, Elisa Mai Koonik, Kimberley Valgemae, Jana Kuzovkova, Birgit Burk, Lisanna Pihlak, Annela Pajumets, Liisa Pajumets, Polina Tsernjak, Annelyl Pokras in Nokia Junior Cup, G4.

BTW, in SEB Tallink Open next year, will they be doing 2 WC trade-offs to get the others 10K WCs or will they actually try giving Tatjana and Eva 25K WCs Eva might cope, Tatja on Indoor Hard: No way

I think they should do this:
WCM 1: Anett
WCM 2: Trade with Sweden or Finland for 2 10K WCMs + 1 WCQ for 10K.
WCM 3: Another Trade or direct exchange with 25K Helsinki

WCQ 1: Eva Paalma
WCQ 2: Erika Hendsel
WCQ 3: Tatjana Vorobjova
WCQ 4: Birgit Burk

I wish they made the clay Estonian Futures mid year a combined event It would make it easier for the girls as most of them grew up on clay

Last time it was a 25k:

1. Schutting
2. Sanna Saarteinen in exchange for a Tampere 10k wild-card for Schutting, where she would have been a direct entry, had she entered in time.
3. Was sold to Malou Ejde$gaard.
4. Was given to Kontaveit, but only after sponsors intervened.

25K for a 10K
I hope they cut a better deal next time
So they weren't going to give it to Anett???
Anyway, is Schutting coming back???
I wonder how it will work???
BTW, the field was really strong last time
And why did they cancel the 2nd 25K that year?
It will probably be stronger next year as it is an Indoor in Europe
Also, who is Maria Bergenheim??? She has no Juniros or Pro Circuit Profile but is Number 2 in the World in Seniors Over 35

Maria Bergenheim is former Sinisoo.

[chingching]

Wow!!
I always thought it was funny that Margit played qualies that tournament. Given the form that Schutting was in it should definitely have gone to Margit, especially given that Anett was off to college
Anyway, I am not sure whether Margit should have replaced Anett or Anett, but I think that it was a biased decision
It's such a shame Margit's gone away
Let's just hope that Eva can step up
She has a great opporunity to qualify this week with no ranked players in her path to Qualification Erika can qualify but has Miloslavjic 2nd Round Do you know if there are live scores like last year Meelis???

She still doesn't have an ITF Profile

[chingching]

Catrine Landstrom def. Erika Hendsel 6-4 2-6 6-4
Eva Paalma def. Angela Roesler 6-0 6-4
Eva Paalma vs Anna Signe Rasmussen (Next Match on Court 1, Livescores: http://www.tennisscores.de/livescore...ivescorer.html)
The tournament did an article on Eva
http://www.djtk.se/

Birgit Burk vs Laura Pennanen
Polina Tsernjak vs Aleksandra Vostrikova
Kimberley Valgemae vs Daria Ponomareva
Lisanna Pihlak vs Arina Sedanova

I expect Birgit to win as she is up against an unranked player, Kimberley's match is definitely winnable and hopefully Lisanna too, but I wouldn't be my money on anybody winning

Eva should make MD though as her opponents CH in Juniors is in the low 400s and she is currently in the 700s
If Eva makes QF of one of the tourneys and 2nd Round of the other, she will have a ranking

[chingching]

Birgit Burk def. Laura Pennanen 6-0 6-3
Aleksandra Vostrikova def. Polina Tsernjak 6-1 6-2
Daria Ponomareva def. Kimberley Valgemae 6-3 4-6 6-4
Lisanna Pihlak def. Arina Sedanova 6-3 6-0

Eva Paalma def. Anna Signe Rasmussen 6-2 6-3

Birgit Burk vs. valeria Urzhumova
Lisanna Pihlak vs Natalia Belova

Eva Paalma vs Laura Schaeder
Eva Paalma/Maria Mokh vs. Ema Mikulcic/Dejana Raicikovic

I have no idea how Eva scored such a partner as they don't seem to know eachother from Juniors Her CH is 359 and in Doubles 435, and she just won her R1 against a Swedish girl ranked in the 683s (Maria is 736 right now) 0 and 0 They have a good shot at making the QF against number 1 Seeds Melander/Milosavljevic

Eva's Scorecards available for Download here with WTA Scoreboard style Stats and a full match point progression http://www.tennis-ticker.com/cms/iwe...91&tournid=527

BTW, I was just reading Erika's Scorecard. She had 4-0 in the final set, going at 4-0 when serving, 2 points away from 5-0. Then had GP at 4-4. Such a shame

What is happening to our tennis players? First Kaia, then Jürgen and now Anett is also pulling out of the tournaments

I know But Tatjana just won another Doubles Title so she now holds 7 Titles (6 in Doubles ) She is so good at Doubles. Probably better than Anett
