Jill's match was suspended until tomorrow vs. Razzano. The current score is 6-7 6-3. Hopefully Jill will take the momentum and defeat Razzano. Good luck Jill!

Jill's really putting together an impressive clay season so far

[Paldias]

Sadly Jill wasted match points again (TWICE THIS YEAR!) vs. Razzano. Next up for Jill is Prague. Good luck to her!

Prague

Jill is headed off to Prague, Czech Republic for a Tier IV Red Clay Tournament. In the first round of the tournament Jill will face off against No. 8 seeded Martina Sucha - a player she has beaten before, however, on HARDCOURT. Sucha hates the clay, recently double-bagelled by Ana Ivanovic at Warsaw. If Jill can keep up her solid results on clay as of late then she should propel herself up the rankings as she only has 3 points to defend until Birmingham.

In doubles Jill is partnering up with Marlene Weingartner. They face No. 2 seeded Emilie Loit and Nicole Pratt in the first round. If they can take out the No. 2 seeds they should be able to easily advance to the Semi-Finals. Good luck Jill!

Singles

1st Round: vs. [8] Martina Sucha SVK

Doubles

1st Round: vs. [2] Emilie Loit FRA/Nicole Pratt AUS

Good luck Jill! She is definitely the heavy favorite in the Sucha match and I hope she and Marlene can pull off the upset in doubles!

Prague

Jill advanced to the second round of Prague today with an upset win over No. 8 seeded Martina Sucha: 6-3 6-3. This is Jill's second win over Sucha, and 1st on clay. With this win Jill's ranking goes up to 81, and will go even higher if she can defeat Yoon-Jeong Cho - whom she has losing record to (0-2: matches came on Grass and HC).

Sadly Craybas/Weingartner were eliminated by the No. 2 seeds Loit/Pratt easily 3-6 2-6. It's too bad, however, we all want Craybas to concentrate on her singles and advance within the tournament! Good luck in Singles Jill!

Prague

Jill advanced to her second Clay QF of the year by defeating Yoon-Jeong Cho of Korea. This is a huge accomplishment by Jill especially since Clay is her weakest surface by far! Next up is No. 2 seeded Klara Koukalova of the Czech Republic. They have never played before however, Jill definetely has the upper hand as Klara hasn't been having the best season on clay nor vs. counter-punchers like Craybas. If Jill can advance to the SF's this will be a huge achievement seeing as her best surface is still yet to come. Good luck Jill and make this happen!

By the way, Jill moves up to no. 74 with this win. If she can advance into the Semi-Finals she'll go even higher!

Singles
1st Round: def. [8] Martina Sucha SVK: 6-3 6-3

Jill lost to Koukalova 46 36 (or vice versa).

Still, a good effort from Jill especially on clay. Good luck in your next touranment, Jill! Keep up the great work!

Hey all... I've known of Jill Craybas for quite a while, but when Jim signed into mixed doubles at RG with her, I did a bit of researching and am already a big fan!
I'm definitely hoping to see her play plenty during this grass court season, and look forward to following her results. Let's have pics!!!!!!!!!

[ae wowww]

In Paris in the player lounge, I sat next to her and she was wearing these shorts ^^,



This top ^^



And I just think this is an awesome photo

Looking awesome for thirty ! She was sat down on a seat, and her shorts had sort of hitched up a bit, so the tennis bloomers were lower than the shorts (if that makes sense)? I couldn't stand up!!

Thanks for the pictures! She does look great.

Jill is ranked 71 this week in doubles, and needs to get some wins going After that loss in France etc, she can get ready for the grass (and then hardcourt) seasons.
