Alex had an incredible end to 2011, capping with her first singles title, and first two doubles titles, all within two weeks in Djibouti.

She has stumbled out of the gates so far in 2012, but was given a wild card into the main draw at the 25K Moscow. Perhaps that's where she'll turn it around.

Her high ranking, reached this week, is #520.

Alex is #2 at the 10k Alger, her first tournament since the 25K Moscow in Feb. Her opponent is Chloe Paquet.

^ This is very true, but she seems to be making the most of things. Soon to be Top 500.

First round, easily defeated Chloe, 60 63. Now faces another Frenchie, Fiona Gervais.
 
#6 ·
Defeated Fiona, 62 63.

After two easy opponents, comes the real test. #5 Alina Wessel defeated Alex last year.

Alex got revenge on Alina, 60 46 64! (I wasn't really expecting her to :eek: )

Semis: #4 seed Yvonne Neuwirth. First meeting.
 
#9 ·
Yep. Yvonne ran her down, winning 76(4) 46 61. Oh well. Possible rematch in Tlemcen next week, where Alex is again #2 on the entry list.
 
#11 ·
^ Yeah, but would like to see her hold her seeding. Very big on that. In other words, if you're #2, get to the final.
 
#13 ·
#2 seed, Tlemcen. Alex received a bye in the first round (this tourney is so weak, there wasn't even a qualy draw). Anyway, she double-bagelled local girl Sofia Benhalima in the second round. First real challenge was Danijela Tomic in the quarters. Alex wore her down, 64 46 60.

Semis she faces Johanna Hyoty, who upset #4 seed Alina Wessel. Go Alex!
 
#15 ·
Another great tournament for Alex. Defeated Johanna, 62 62 in the semis, before falling to #1 Danka Kovinic in the final, 26 26.

She needs a nickname to distinguish her from all the other Alexes on the tournament. I say, AleRo :cool:

Alex is playing the 10K Wiesbaden. Her section:

I guess Ou pulled out, as she played LL Milana Imamniyazova, defeating her easily, 1 & 2. Now faces Karina Isayan.
 
#24 ·
^ Actually played Fergana, and lost in the second round to Cagla Buyukakcay.

Now is the #2 seed in the qualies of Astana. She has a bye out of the first round, then plays Anna Kechko.
