Thank God she got in. Please beat Bertens to make your fall be less painful.



She is also playing doubles with Klepac here.

[Evans.]

She beat Bertens!

[Wert.]

Situation looks better now.

[alexjones]

she's out now, of all the people she could have been up against it had to be the top seed.

[vaslav37]

Tennis seems like a joy to Heather and Laura but a chore to Anne...

is Heather and Laura's success having a negative effect on Anne? it cant be easy for her.

[pesto]

I don't think Anne's loss of form has anything to do with Laura and Heather.

GL ANNE

[vaslav37]

Anne lost today in Munich so this means now she will end the year around 140 in the world if she fails to win her final event of the year next week in Barnstaple.

Its been a very poor year from Anne Keothavong and I wonder if 2013 will be her swansong?

she is a much better player than her ranking suggests but she has failed to be inspired by Heather Watson and Laura Robson.

She will go to Australia likely unseeded in the qualifying for the Australian Open and I am not confident she will even qualify for the event the way she is playing right now.

[Joe.]

I feel like retirement will be very soon

[vaslav37]

I think next year could be her last year but I don't think she is quite done yet.

She will not want to play if she is can't get into the slams on merit, she will have to play qualifying for Australia but after that she can start picking up points again.

Her website seems to have gone too.

[Wert.]

Anne

also lost in doubles yesterday.

[Wert.]

She finished year with ranking of 143 Really felt badly these last couple of weeks especially, but whole year has been terrible generally.

Come back stronger for 2013 please Anne

[vaslav37]

almost certainly looking at been unseeded for the Australian Open qualifying, will she make it through?

[Evans.]

Are we starting a new thread for 2013? Seems a little pointless, lol.

But on positive news, Anne won the first set of her qualifying match 63. To be completed today!
Come on Anne, start the year positively

[Evans.]

And she wins, 63 46 60.

Tougher than it should have been, but a win is a win.
