Darija Jurak is a 24 y.o. Croatian tennis player, winner of 8 ITF singles titles and 27 ITF doubles titles, one of which she won this year. Her favorite surface is clay and current year win/loss singles record is 15-10. Her career high ranking is 188 for singles and 108 for doubles, while her current singles ranking is 413, which is the highest she's been in almost 18 months. She reached two QF's on 25k this year.

This week she's playing in Bad Saulgau 25k, where she qualified for MD (just like last year) and drew 2nd seed and world's number 208 Tereza Hladikova (CZE) as her first opponent. Since she's defending QF from last year, a loss here could push her down some 30 places in the rankings, but let's hope for the best. She applied for doubles also, not defending anything, she and her partner play against top seeds in the first round. She's playing in Germany next week as well, on another 25k where she lost in R1 last year after going through qualies, but is defending finals of doubles.

Good luck Darija:wavey:

They did it!!! :yippee: They won Wimbledon! :eek:...I mean the first round of Birmingham...same thing...:D

Jurak/Moulton-Levy def. Koukalova/Safarova 4:6, 6:1, 10-8

In the next round they'll most probably face the top seeds Black and Mirza, but it's not like that'll be a problem for them...:)

Not much new in the world of Jurak/Moulton-Levy partnership...they lost in the first round again, this time to Pliskova/Lucic 10-7 in the STB.

Lucic is surely a very good doubles player, but she hasn't been making noise in doubles lately and Pliskova is, well...:help: That being said, I don't see this partnership with Megan going for much longer honestly. Their successes are too few and far between altogether.
