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!

And she has been playing so well the past year :eek:

I didn't think Tereza would break into the top 400 and here she is one match away from top 200 :eek:

It'll be interesting to see how far she can rise.

By the way, she's into the doubles final in Brescia--including two walkovers :lol:

1st Round: Tereza MRDEZA (CRO) / Masa ZEC-PESKIRIC (SLO) def. Bianca BOTTO (PER) / Claudia GIOVINE (ITA) W/O
Quarterfinal: Tereza MRDEZA (CRO) / Masa ZEC-PESKIRIC (SLO) def. Katarzyna PITER (POL) / Romana Caroline TABAK (SVK) [4] W/O
Semifinal: Tereza MRDEZA (CRO) / Masa ZEC-PESKIRIC (SLO) def. Malou EJDESGAARD (DEN) / Maria Joao KOEHLER (POR) [1] 6-4 3-6 [10-5]

Final is against Corinna DENTONI (ITA) / Diana MARCINKEVICA (LAT), who are unseeded. Good luck!

Something's up with Tereza--and it doesn't look good.

Last week in Brescia she lost her SF match 0 and 3 (to a qualifier).

This week she was supposed to play Maribor but did not show up.

Today she withdrew late from the tournament she committed to play next week.

I hope she's not sick or injured. Just when she was about to break into the top 200.

Tereza now firmly in the 190s. Her rise up the rankings has been very stealthy. No single big breakthrough, just lots of small, good results. She must be one of the least known players in the top 250. And is there anyone ranked higher than her who has never played a WTA/GS event, even qualies?
