[Sharapova's_Boy]

Well Barbora had a dream start to 2004, representing the Czech Republic at the Hopman Cup. She played 3 girls inside the top 10, and posted more than respectable scorelines against all of them.

VS Davenport 4-6 3-6
VS Myskina 3-6 6-7
VS Mauresmo 3-6 4-6

Along with those matches, she was undoubtly one of the most popular players to ever grace the Mixed teams event, they crowd simply fell in love with her

Then she turned her attention to the Australian Open. She breezed through Qualifying with easy wins over Hrozenska, Rodionova and Benesova to reach the Main Draw. She then upset Arantxa Parra in the First round to secure her first win at a Grand Slam
She then lead Lina Krasnoroutskaya 3-2 in the third set and had chances to go to 4-2, however her inexperienced showed and Lina progressed in three

Udachi Barbora 2004 is yours

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Hmmmm, I wonder what Barbora is up to. She hasn't entered any of the European Indoor events nor Hyderabad or Memphis. I wonder what her plans are.

Perhaps a trip to Doha and Dubai? Who knows

Udachi Barbora

[Sharapova's_Boy]

My mistake , Barbora is playing next week in Memphis.

Her qualifying draw:
Strycova vs. Lee
Spears vs. Rao
Mueller vs. Xie
Castellvi vs. Voskoboeva


Udachi Barbora

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Then after Memphis, Barbora has entered both Doha and Acapulco. On both lists she is still among the Alternates , but hopefully with some withdrawals she should move up.

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Yay - Barbora won her first match easily, 6-0 6-2 against Alternate Carla Tiene of Brazil.

(2)B Strycova d (alt)C Tiene 60 62
A Spears d S Rao 61 64
Y Xie d A Mueller 64 62
(6)G Voskoboeva d V Castellvi 60 36 64

So next up is Abigail Spears, then most likely Galya V.

Go Barbora! You can do it!

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Abigail Spears def Barbora Strycova 6-1 7-5.

Barbora WTF happened there?

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Barbora is still in Memphis, as she is playing Doubles with Eva Fislova. They won their 1st Qualifying match and now face Amy Frazier and whoever she is partnering.

Udachi Barbora/Eva.

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Barbora and Eva upset Amy Frazier/Janet Lee 6-7 6-1 6-3 to Qualify for the Main Draw. They now face the seeded pair of Lisa McShea/Bryanne Stewart.

Udachi.

[Sharapova's_Boy]

McShea/Musgrave def Strycova/Fislova 6-7(2) 7-6(5) 6-4.

Barbora and Eva led 3-1 in the second set as well.

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Hmm, Barbora didn't play Doha nor Acapulco (unless she has a WC for the MD ) but her next tournament will be Indian Wells.

Good luck Barbora!

[Sharapova's_Boy]

Barbora's commitment list:

Indian Wells, USA --> Currently in the Next-in list for the Qualifying field.

Amelia Island, USA --> Again in the next-in list for Qualifying.

Charleston, USA --> Again in the next-in list for Qualifying.

[Sharapova's_Boy]

It will be interesting to see what Barbora does, especially concerning the American clay events. Perhaps she should come to Europe and play Estoril/Casablanca, etc.
She would easily make the Main Draws of them

Udachi Barbora.
