Let's hear it for Tereza! She's 17 years old (born in November 1990). According to her ITF file, she was born in Pula but lives in Porec.

She reached her highest rank so far in May 2007, at #738. After that she didn't play for almost a year, until April of this yar (school?) so she lost her ranking.

She's now back in action and seems to be playing well. Last month, she reached the SF at the $10K in Mostar and the final at the $10K in Budva. This week, she's playing at the $10K in Torino. She qualified easily, winning both her qualie matches 60 60. The best part is that yesterday in the main draw, she won her first-round match against the #2 seed, Maria Irigoyen (#251 in the world), very easily: 61 61. Very impressive! Given that result, her next match, against Nancy Rustignoli (#819; never heard of her), should be very winnable.

With her first-round win yesterday, she'll be able to re-enter the rankings at around 860. Hopefully she'll keep winning this week and move up even higher than that.

Best of luck, Tereza!

Picked up $11,000 in NYC, probably did a bit of shopping, then flew right back to Europe and this week is the top seed at the Vietnamese--I mean, Viennese--W25. Plays Pribylova (#486) in R1.

Tereza is down 54 spots in the live rankings this week (185 > 239), so she needs a good result this week!

Tereza was seeded #8 this week at an Italian 25k and didn't do particularly good (went out in R2, 3 sets to Alves), but in R1 something extraordinary actually happened, as she won a match that is 7th longest in the history of women's tennis. She beat Poznikhirenko in three sets after 4hrs 24mins of play :eek:

Won on a retirement against the top seed Diatchenko today, 1:6, 7:5, 4:0

Not happy about anyone getting sick or injured, but it's still nice to see Tereza finally pick up some form and get a few breaks along the way. She hasn't made it to a semi of this category since that Zagreb event two years ago.

Now she'll play the 3rd seed Boslova for the place in the final :)

GL!
