Great job

Hope she'll really take advantage of a good draw

Good luck

good luck!

And she's got only 5 more points to defend by the end of the year so a top500 finish is guaranteed.

5 points only

But it's a good news

ma re · Jul 23rd, 2009, 01:34 PM

^Yup, it's one point for losing in R1 of a 50k and four for reaching quarters of a 10k. According to ITF website, that's all that's left for her to defend this season.

Tereza Mrdeza (CRO) d. (LL)Maria Zharkova (RUS) 6:3 6:1

Considering her recent good form this is no surprise, but still, well done on reaching semis and winning so convincingly. Next Tereza will play Ryzhonkova who is ranked a bit better than her (at #433), but hasn't made a notable result in about 4 months. Tereza does have a shot here, but I expect it to be a close match.

Ajmo Tereza

P. S. Even if she loses, she'll be very close to top400 (maybe a place or two outside)!

And if she beats Ryzhonkova she'll move up to ~380!

ma re · Jul 24th, 2009, 05:15 PM

Tereza is in the finals after beating Ryzhonkova 3 and 4

For the title she'll play 2nd seed Adamczak who won her semi by a walkover. Adamczak is a clear favorite, but let's hope it finishes the other way around.

AJMOOOOOO

This will give Tereza a big bump up in the rankings--around 90 spots, and into the top 400 for the first time.

Tereza lost 5:7, 6:1, 6:4.

However, this was a great tournament for her and she took a set to Adamzcak in final.
And if I remember correct, in january she was strugeling to qualify on 10000$'s in Egypt.

It seems that things have changed somehow after that double bagel in Zagreb and first match with Top 200 player.

Impressive improvement in relatively short period

ma re · Jul 25th, 2009, 05:15 PM

Yeah, regardless of the loss, all credit to her for giving it a good fight

Hope this is just a begining of a new chapter in Tereza's career

P. S. She withdrew from Palic 10k where she was suppose to play next week (and get seeded), as she obviously needs some rest.

No shame in Tereza's loss. She won a set off Adamczak, who is seven years older and ranked #174 (with a career-high in the top 150).

And it's a good decision to withdraw from Palic. With her new ranking she won't need to play any more $10K's for a long while!
