Katya lost 7/6 6/7 6/3 She led 3/1 in the 3rd set but Sveta managed to take 5 games in a row and win
Congrats for the nice fight Katya Hope she will keep threatening the best players Miami was definitly a great tournament for her

[daniela86]

Katya plays the qualies at Amelia Island this week and she won her first match 6/3 6/3 against Mattek Congrats Katya!! Keep winning and progressing

Perhaps, if Kateryna had a more relaxed attitude on court she could win more matches

I'd like to hear her other fan's opinion on this, cos she's already very good. If she could win a tournament, then she would climb up the rankings to rival her sister.
It could be a fun competition

edit: i've come to the conclusion than being more relaxed on court would be probably better for kateryna than for alona

surprise! pics from wtatour.com

Amelia Island, Florida (April 4): Kateryna Bondarenko visited the Maui Jim's sunglasses booth with her sister Alona.
