Olga Fridman
Just wanted to create a thread for a potential good player of the future.
She's had a great run recently winning two G3 junior tournaments and is now the youngest player in the top 200 junior rankings.
She turned 14 two months ago and is a lefty.
Here's a vid of her winning the euro junior champs a few months ago.
She's the one in all white.

Re: Olga Fridman
Nice groundstrokes, but she has to improve that serve. She'll be eaten alive in the pro circuit with a serve like that.

Re: Olga Fridman
Olya  
She managed to qualify at Eddie Herr eventually, and even reached R2 where she lost to Ana Konjuh (the eventual winner), managing to take her a set.  (she lost 6-3 4-6 2-6).
She also qualified at Orange Bowl, and then beat Marfutina 6-3 6-1 in R1. She's playing R2 against (11) Alexandra Kiick, today I suppose, it's gonna be hard but if she managed to take a set from Konjuh, nothing is impossible.
Davay, Olya!

Re: Olga Fridman
Oh, just checked @zootennis ' twitter account and apparently she lost. 
Oh, anyways. Great job in qualifying and winning a MD match in both Eddie Herr & Orange Bowl. 
I see that she's playing 10K Antalya Q next week. Good luck Olya!

Re: Olga Fridman
(11)Alexandra Kiick (USA) d. (Q)Olga Fridman (UKR) 46 61 75
That's the actual score.
Another great battle, she took a set from another great player. Soon she will win those matches.

Re: Olga Fridman
Olya is playing Juniors AO.
She managed to qualify as #4 seed, now MD is out and she faces (WC)Naikhta Bains in R1. Should be winnable. Davay Olya!

Olga Fridman
Kaia hit 24 Aces (the WTA record) vs Safarova Tokyo Round 1 2008 
Stripping Sam Stosur of her serve is like stripping a paedophile of his children: They become useless
