Re: Any news about the Goddess?

It must be going well, considering the fact that she is scheduled to play singles and doubles(with Anna Gerasimou) in the Olympics. The real question is...Will she actually play? She has not entered a warm-up tournament for the Olympics.

yes,I saw that.But that does not mean she is playing,she could withdraw last minute if she's not ready to play,right?
True. If it wasn't the Olympics, I doubt her name would be on that list.

Also, in September, there will be a 100k in Athens, Greece, and the purpose of this tournament is to showcase Eleni. It will be held from the 8th until the 14th at the Athens Lawn Tennis Club(The 4th largest outdoor tennis stadium in Greece) on clay.

Defending that SF in Seoul is really gonna be hard. Everything else could be easy for her to defend.

Re: Any news about the Goddess?

No. I am trying to find out. Hopefully her year will not end without her playing again. If that happens, she may not even make the qualies in Melbourne. Lately, I have been looking hard to see her on lists, but I can't seem to find any with her name on it.

Re: Any news about the Goddess?

Ortisei is over, now Eleni is scheduled to play Poitiers, Bratislava, and Krakow. There are no more lists availible at this time. Maybe forever_rafter will go to see her play in Krakow, and get pics and videos.

She wrote on her webs18/10/2008
Hi guys!
I just came back from Ortisei/ Italy and i'll drive to Poitiers / France tomorrow. I'm happy to be able and play some matches in the end of this year. I just want to go out there and give my best...I know i'm not perfectly in shape yet with my knee and my confidence because it all needs time, but i'll take my time and not give up.
I can see my potential in practice already more than in the matches...i feel really great on court and i'm hitting the ball well...it's getting better and better...
It's tough because I lost a couple of matches in a row and I sometimes fight against negative thoughts, but I know I just have to hang in, stay postive and the day will come that I get what I deserve.
My target is to make a good preparation for 2009 and then to start with all my power again in the new season. I plan to play 3 more 100.000$ tournaments this year in France, Slovakia and Poland...then i'll take a few days off and after that i'll start my preparation.
I'll stay in touch with you!! take care!
Your Eleni

Re: Any news about the Goddess?

basically is what she said in her website!(the article in tennis news i mean)
Yes. it says that she is happy to play some more tournaments before the end of the year, and it talks about her upcoming tournaments in Slovakia and Poland. She talks about how she will not quit, and next year will be a great year for her. She sees improvement in her game in practice(maybe she will use it against Flipkens tomorrow).

Re: Any news about the Goddess?

on monday, the entry lists for aucklandwta and brisbane wta will be out. i am expecting to see the goddess on the auckland list, as she will probably get a wc if her rank is not high enough to get a md direct entry there. if she asks for a wc, she will definetely get it, since she won 2 singles titles there.

Re: Any news about the Goddess?

Or maybe she isn't going to Australia this year. It is a very expensive and hard trip. And maybe she first wants to find some confidence....
She is going to go to Auckland, so while shes down there, she might as well go to Australia. She'll probably go to AO qualies.

Re: Any news about the Goddess?

I really hope that she dominates those challengers. She needs those challengers to boost her rank. And I doubt every WTA tourney will give her a WC.
