Other Romanians to look out for - Ungur, Buzarnescu, Andrei, Damaschin
Instead of posting a new cheering thread for each Romanian, we'll keep track of them all here until they do enough to earn their own thread (something I don't feel Dabija or Begu has done yet, but to each his own).
Bianca Koch (GER) d. (4)Daiana Negreanu (ROU) 62 26 64
(This one was seeded and decided to play some tennis when she was 2 breaks down in the deciding set. A little too late for that #dumb)
Olga Doroshina (RUS) d. (6)Elena-Teodora Cadar (ROU) 62 63
(This one was seeded and routined Doroshina 2 months ago #lame)
(5)Pernilla Mendesova (CZE) d. Cristina Adamescu (ROU) 16 75 62
(This one was leading 61 30 #stupid)
(2/Q)Martina Kubicikova (CZE) d. Camelia-Elena Hristea (ROU) 46 76(6) 75
(This one was the defending champion, served for the match and had 3 MP #incrediblestupid)

But it's a 10K so it's only natural. I'm actually delighted to see little Rosca, Jaq, Ducu, Ruse, Ivascu, Simion and Abibula on the same main draw. It's gonna be feisty! :lol:
I was hoping that myself, and maybe even a win here given Adamescu's poor form lately, but she's very young and this was her first ever 10K. I am glad she made in into the MD, she'll have lots of opportunities for big wins from now on
I was hoping that myself, but just like you always say I wouldn't read that much in this loss. She's so very young and unexperienced, event at this 10K level, sometimes you can lose a match like this just because you haven't slept well the night before or a mosquito bit you :lol: Jaq is on the right track, I have no doubt about that
