Re: Kaia Ranking & Schedule Thread
Kaia's grass season looks to be just 2 tournaments
The Dutch Open (Den Bosch/Rosmalen/Top Shelf Open/??? it has too many names  )
Wimbledon
After that it's interesting.. will she return to clay, or take some time off and prepare for the US swing. There are Palermo and Bastad back-to-back after Wimbledon. She hasn't even had a chance to play in Palermo after she won there 2 years ago.. so maybe this year.. |

I think she should try and play as much as she can without getting injured 
I really hope that Kaia can one day get that SF of a GS that she never got at Wimbledon 
If she can win one of Bastad or Palermo and then whore up the points at Standford, Carlsbad etc. she should dbe close to Top 15  Although those tournaments will be stronger this year due to there being no Olympics
Still, I think a Career High for the end of the year should be Kaia's goal
If she can make the QF (which is very very achievable given how bad Na has been) then she will almost be Top 20 with virtually no points to defend for 9 Months

Re: Kaia Ranking & Schedule Thread
Well, I'd rather she'd take it maybe a bit more lightly, doesn't need to travel tournament to tournament as long as she could just you know.. win them  quality over quantity
Anyway, so much for my Palermo guess.. she's entered to Budapest!  along with CSN, Cornet, Safarova, Halep to name the currently hot names + Pironkova (grass hot). But this is still so far away, who knows their forms by then.. |

Re: Kaia Schedule Thread
I wish Kaia had played either Birmingham or Nurnberg (preferably Birmingham Qualies to get some match practice) this week to get her back on the right track in terms of confidence
Aside from Jankovic in Nurnberg, she really could have won either tournament IMO and its tournaments like these which she needs to give her confidence and points
BTW, is Kaia rich, as she doesn't seem to A) have many sponsors or B) be much of an extravagent spender, although I have heard she has a car, but it didn't seem ridiculously expensive from what I saw  |

Re: Kaia Schedule Thread
In Birmingham she would have been seeded. Besides isn't Birmingham known for lousy weather also?  She might be have the bad-weather-quota filled for a while now. She was a top seed there a few years ago, but lost to Arina Rodionova, their match was moved from center court to somewhere else to like court 2 or so. In one of her interviews she reminds this as one of her worse losses.
There was this article 3 years ago http://www.ekspress.ee/news/paevauud....d?id=31575981 I don't think it's changed drastically, so. |

I know but I still think that it would have been beneficial
If she had played she would have been 3rd Seed: She would get a BYE, then probably Pironkova, then Jovanovski, then Ula Radwanska, then Flipkens and then Lisicki, Makarova, Robson or Paszek
They are all winnable IMO even in Roland Garros form so unless she is intentionally playing a small schedule to prevent injury, I think that she really could/should have played here
Has she had any problems with her hip injury from Madrid?

Kaia Schedule Thread
Anett+Them Eesti Gals have to be the best players that ever existed
Kaia hit 24 Aces (the WTA record) vs Safarova Tokyo Round 1 2008 
Stripping Sam Stosur of her serve is like stripping a paedophile of his children: They become useless
