I don't know her future program; next week's only chanche is play in Budapest qualifications (140k), but perhaps Romina wants to take some rest.

Mallorca two (10): VICTORY, final

Rome Eur (25): np, first round
Civitavecchia (25): quarters, np
Bari (25): quarters, final
Casale (10): VICTORY, semifinal
Marseille (50+h): q+semifinal, -
Bastad (25): second round, semifinal
Cuneo (50): second round, quarters

Last week Romina has won her first 25000 title. In Mexico City's final defeated her doubles partner Kyra Nagy 63 60 and gained the trophy losing only 12 games. Here is a nice image of Romina and Kyra during final ceremony

I've been really impressed by Romina and Giulia Gabba this season, I hope they can do great next season too!

Does anyone know if with a ranking of 211 Romina will be able to enter AO quallies?

[GABRIEL]

Romina is up to nr 188 this week, she is guaranteed entry to AO qualies, I hope she decides to give it a try....she might surprise us all...

I am not sure about Giulia Gabba, maybe she can be top 150-maximum top 100, but I cannot see her breaking the top 50 at all, I hope she will prove me wrong.
