Solid start

[améliemomo]

wow that was fast!

domachowska is talented and beating her with such a severe score is impressive.Well done kiki, now beat Kontaveit.

Allez!

[Vikapower]

Really nice for Kristina unfortunately there are 2 freaking more matches to go Now please beat Konta --

EDIT : I watched the stat pretty good solid play on her service games, 62% of points won on her service games. Really nice --

Guess who has the prettiest legs of all French female tennis players...

[Maza1987]

needs to get her season going
some good quali spots available.

[améliemomo]

she's not able to break through on the wta level, lost to youngster Kontaveit

[Vikapower]

This is really annoying why can't she freaking get passed the qualifications with more ease

Kristina has lost 5 of her 9 Qual. matches this year in three and in 2 of them she had won the first set --

TBH I don't know if to take that as a good or bad sign but she really needs to compose herself.

Her returning game was pretty much not good and even in the second set she won she had 2 of 16 points won on her second serves 13% but was winning enough on the first won to scrape that second set.

I have feeling bad match from her in general even if it went 3.

If she wants to ameliorate her ranking through the regular tour she really really needs to get on the main draw, not every time which seems to be too difficult for her but at least once every 2 or 3 times IMO. -- probably clay will bring better results, let's hope.

Kristina is injured again, right ankle injury

still think she's still very "perfectionable" in her fitness. Still too much injury prone.

qu'est-ce que ca veut dire "perfectionable" :/

mdr oui j'en perd mon latin

faut dire les resultats enfin l'absence de resultats de kristina est vraiment decevant. Des filles qui étaient derriere elle et moins talentueuses lui sont passées devant et confirment (ex: babos), c'est plus que rageant.

Kiki in Fed Cup

[Vikapower]

Really nice, Kristina isn't THAT tall if you watch well Hopefully France will do something interesting. We'll see.

[HowardH]

Well Kristina is pretty tall, six foot, but of course since Escude is even taller his presence makes her seem less tall. Plus Virginie is reasonably tall as well. But she isn't too tall or anything like that. She's statuesque, she has a model's height.

Perfectible is a grammatically correct form in both English and French, I believe. However we usually say "her fitness still has room for improvement" or some other similar phrase involving the word "improve" like "she could still improve her fitness".

Edit: also, incidentally, if Geraldine reads this, it's definitely "elle voulait", Ameliemomo is a girl (Amira).
