Let's hope Shahar has a better season in 2013! :cheer:

The R2 win in Baku from 2-6 1-3 down against Scheepers was perhaps Shahar's best of the year (which says a lot).
Slightly improving, she can beat any non top 50 player nowadays but can also still lose to any top 200 player.
Having said that, the top half of the draw is as cakewalk open as can possibly be and she should make the final with that lineup, containing her and 3 players who were never even near top 100 and with the possible exception of Jabeur will never get there too.

(P.S. Shahar was also a set and a break down in her R1 match, trailing 3-6 0-2 to the Belorussian Kremen, but avoided another embarrassing loss by taking 12 games in a row.)

She did. No contest.
The final vs Svitolina, who beat her easily in their first match of the season, will be a different story.
Hopefully Shahar can pull the upset and win a title after 4 years, which will also put her back in the top 100, but even if she doesn't, it was a good week on the long way back up.

It's not a regular WTA event. Uncharacteristically, even the WTA itself acknowledged that and related to Svitolina's title in Baku as her first tour title even though she already won one of those 125K before.

Having said that, definitely another good call by Shahar to go there and rack some wins, points and confidence :yeah:
Back in the top 100 and building her way up back to the main events.

To see her thumping a legit top 100 player in Babos like she did is pleasing.
She has nothing to defend for the rest of the year and getting back to top 50 should be the next goal.

Well she won her firts 125k , beeting her unranked opponent 62 26 63.
According to the stats, nothing to be proud of.
I really can't understand why she is not able to improve her sreves, first and seconds. The stas are terrible.
She will improve in the rankings and probabely return to be a top 100 player, but IMO she has nothing to offer against top 50 players.

Peer is injured again and had to withdraw in Ningbo.

From her Facebook page:

Over the course of the first round match at the Ningbo tournament, shahar felt sudden pain on the bottom of her foot.
The following day, she took an MRI in which it was discovered that she had a partial tear of her Plantar Fasciitis.
As a result of the tear, shahar decided, based on advice from several doctors, to retire from the rest of the tournament.
The decision about her care, as well as future tournaments and the rest of the season, will be made in the upcoming few days with her doctors

Update on Shahar's condition in the Jerusalem Post:

Championships begin in Ra'anana next Sunday, female star still recovering from injuries.

For the first time since turning professional, Shahar Pe’er is expected to miss next week’s Israel national championships as she continues her recovery from a foot injury.

Pe’er’s 2013 season was cut short in September, when she was diagnosed with a partial tear of her foot’s plantar fascia. However, she is still set to end the year at No. 76 in the world rankings after plummeting all the way down to No. 179 in late June.

The 26-year-old won her sixth national title in the past seven years and eighth overall with a win over Julia Glushko last December.

But she is unlikely to be defending her title and appears set to skip the upcoming championships – which begin in Ra’anana next Sunday – in order to continue her recovery at the Sanchez Casal Academy in Barcelona.

Pe’er will be escorted on the WTA Tour in 2014 by Spaniard Eduardo Nicolas from the Sanchez Casal Academy and is set to begin her season at the Shenzhen Open in China on December 29.

The Australian Open will get underway in Melbourne on January 14.
