In the first round she'll face a qualifier (hopefully not Brenda if she qualifies!) and then if she wins probably Sequera. In the third round she might face Na Li.

Krajicek [14] vs. Q
Baltacha [WC] vs. Sequera
Shvedova vs. K.Bondarenko
Bye vs. Li [4]

Why should Brenda need the points? She didn't make Wimbledon qualifying by her ranking, so the points she earns will not help her there.

Anyway, I guess she will quit after Wimbledon if she does get a WC. If not, who knows what she'll do?

In het interview van gisteren op radio 1 kwam het er op neer dat ze een tweede tenniscarrière begonnen was. En dat ze niet alleen op Wimbledon wilde schitteren, maar ook de andere Grand Slams zijn mooi. Ze had het alleen vooral over Wimbledon, omdat ze daar de grootste kans maakt op een goed resultaat.

Misa got a really nice draw here! She should make 3rd round, and QFs or SFs is totally not impossible if she is playing well on the grass again. Should pretty much guarantee her a seeding for Wimby seeing as Golovin and Zvonareva are unlikely to play anyway. ;)

:bigcry:
She lost against Fedak (how on earth...) 6-7(5) 3-6. She led the tiebreak 5-1...

I really thought grass would do her good, but now it seems that only applies to Rosmalen. My week is ruined; hopefully she does better next week because those tickets were pretty expensive!

Good thing I forgot to bet on her :p

Pff what the fuck is this?
Everytime when I think she's back on track there comes an unexplainable loss. This is really very bad, she had to reach at least the semifinals here, this was her tournament!
This is why she will never become a real top player, she has still too much strange losses like this one.
Very dissapointing!

Saying 'still' means there's room for improvement, and thus 'never' does not apply.

Yes that's true but I see no improvement. She's losing matches like this since she started at the WTA. After three years it should be expected that she becomes more constistent and that she learns from those matches. She's still not focused enough at the beginning of matches and she's not very good on the tactical side. I mean, she has difficulties with changing tactics when she's losing, most of the time it seems that she can't find ways to turn around matches like this.
