Katya d. Bratchikova 62 16 61

First final in a long time. Vs. World #75 Mchale. Good luck Katya!

Katyla lost the final 62 64 - McHale just played out of her mind. Still a very positive week from Katya.

Thi season is looking better and better.

Good luck this week in Zlin, third seed so lets hope for another semi final if Katya is not too tired.

Katya makes Hon Men on the RW for getting to the finals of the 50K Rome claycourt.

50k Zlin (CZE)

R1: (3)Ekaterina Ivanova (RUS) v Anna-Lena Groenefeld (GER)

Not an ideal first round draw. I was hoping for another semi final finish this week, but I don't think Katya will get past ALG.

Katya got spanked 1 & 2. Still no consistancy with her results. All of last weeks good work undone.

Kalabina/Pashkova (RUS/RUS) d. (4)Ivanova/Kostova (RUS/BUL) 76(5) 46 11-9

Sucks for them to fight so hard but come up short again.

Onto Wimbledon where she has 50 points to defend. Katya has a lot of points to defend in the second half of the year. Bad draws/shitty play will see her fall outside of the top 200.

Wimbledon.. Here we go!

SUAREZ NAVARRO, Carla ESP [8] vs. VOEGELE, Stefanie SUI
IVANOVA, Ekaterina RUS vs. HAN, Xinyun CHN
SOUTH, Melanie GBR (W) vs. UNGUR, Liana ROU
BRENGLE, Madison USA vs. DOI, Misaki JPN [17]

Easily the best draw she could have hoped for. I actually think she will qualify here. She usually does pretty well on grass.

Suarez Navarro or Voegele in 2nd round... Hopefully Katya will qualify

Mana · Jun 14th, 2011, 07:58 AM

Han is 6-15 this year & 3-9 in her last 12 matches.

Katya should be able to get through here in straight sets.

Mana · Jun 14th, 2011, 11:59 AM

And she did 76(5) 63.

A little bit of a strugle, but it was her first grass match in a year so all in all that's not too bad.

Second round Vs. Voegele/Saurez Navarro. Currently 76(4) 67(2) 0-0. Let's hope that they keep at it for another hour or so yet and really tire them selves out. A 12-10 final set would be nice

Mana · Jun 15th, 2011, 08:01 AM

Saurez Navarro in two hours. Winner of this will qualify.

Katya yesterday vs. Han.

Mana · Jun 15th, 2011, 11:23 AM

Katya won 62 64

Now were talking. Grass seems to agree with Katya, each year she puts in a good performance at Wimbledon.

South or Doi next. Wimbledon MD is all but a lock here.
