Hope she will have a great year. I'm always happy for all the late bloomers and she seems to be really nice. Hopefully she can find a partner to team up with for most part of the year. I think it would be good for her to be part of a longer lasting partnership.

After that little disappointment in the semis of Auckland, Vladka and Laura beat Peschke/Stubbs 6:4 3:6 10:5 in the 1st round of Sydney!!! So happy for them! Great Win!!! It shows that they can compete with the best teams in the world....and beat them ;-)

That's the match during which I got to discover the great fighter that is Vladka. And the morning of that match in Luxembourg round 1, I remember seeing her running in the streets of Luxembourg, in front of her hotel, very early! She seems to work so much, happy she gets results now!

I have other videos I'll post soon.

Vladka studied French as a minor. That's why her French is soooo good

Thanks! Actually I don't have, because first I wanted to watch the match, and when I film, that not easy, then when I could have done it, well, the match was really not good enough to be filmed! On one side or the other one... So I don't even have images of Cara and Liezel during that match, just the speeches!
But this year, Vladka is not far from the top of my list to be filmed!

Hey, I know what you mean...I always prefer concentrating on watching and supporting my favs too ;-)
Where are you going next?
Vladka is playing team tennis for my club. Hopefully this year I have the chance to film her, when we both play at home!

GO VLADKA/LAURA!!!

[stefi62]

I go to Paris Indoors, Antwerp then Miami and RG. So I think I might see Vladka at least a couple of times.

[jelena_jankovic]

Oh great! So enjoy your journeys!!!
I know that Vladka is going to be in Paris and Antwerp!
Maybe I have the chance to visit her in Antwerp, so we might see each other :-)
What days are you going to be there?
