She pretty much told that the beginning of the year was bad, and that she split with coach, now she has another one. And that she is herself her own sponsor. She told also she's excited about Australian Open. She wants to show what she can do and she states that she's able to win a few rounds in MD. That it's not anything extraordinary to do it. She says she already won matches against players who had good Grand Slam showings (Pfizenmaier, Rus etc.). She also says that she travels on the tournaments without coach as she cannot afford but says it may change soon as she shares a coach with another player and it could be cheaper.
Paula already started her season at WTA Auckland qualifying.
First match against Maria Sanchez, 6:4 4:6 4:2, and rain delay.
The match shall be finished tomorrow. If Paula manages to win, her probable opponent in second round should be Grace Min, who's now up 6:2 4:1 in her first match (also stopped by the rain).
Jej rywalką będzie leworęczna Claire Feuerstein, która rozgromiła dziś Paulę Kanię. Francuzka jest potężnie zbudowana i w każdej wymianie stara się przechodzić do ataku. Efekty przynosił też jej jednoręczny bekhend. Nie mogę powiedzieć, że Kania grała dziś bardzo źle. Rywalka swoją postawą zdecydowanie zgłosiła aspiracje do gry w turnieju głównym.
