Tough draw for Aravane


1st round: Aravane is 1-0 against K Bondarenko,
Hasselt 2006 6-1 6-4

Allez Aravane,match per match,do your best

[Iceland]

Oh God I hate this draw!! For the 2nd time she is in form before a Grand Slam, she has to draw one of my faves early .
She could give Tatiana a lesson, honestly she has her chances if she plays as good as in Auckland. Tatiana is not serving well, Aravane won't struggle too much to return then. Should be a great match though , hope both get through first!!

[Bероника]

Good luck vs Bondarenko (although I also like that girl,but I'm with Aravane on that one ). Allez

Aravane won her first match 76(4) 62 saving one SP in the first set, very convincing first round!!!!
As we expected, she is revealing her true potential one year after her breakthrough ... Her results are so solid, I am extremely happy for her, it's the deserved reward from al her efforts.
Tatiana is her next opponent, she has been struggling to defeat Cohen Aloro. So I hope Aravane gives her a lesson so that Tati can learn how to work. ALLEZ!!!!

[améliemomo]

great first round against a good opponent who run after every ball,never easy.
Allez I think that she can beat golovin,target her weak backhand.I like tatiana but its aravane time to shine in a slam.
Aravane
