Well, Darija kept it very close but lost to Gronert. The score was 63 36 76(5).

Darija now plays at the $10k in Wahlstedt (GER), where she should be the #4 seed. Good luck!

Well, still a nice result, hope this gives her some more confidence. But she really should advance to 25k's, both because ranking-wise she can't get much playing 10k's, but also because she really is too good for these events. Good luck this week

Darija is the #3 seed. In R1 she beat Dinah PFIZENMAIER, an unranked qualifier, 63 64. In R2 she plays Ineke MERGAERT (1011; career-high 782). Darija better win this!

In R2 Darija beat Ineke MERGAERT easily, 63 60.

In the QF she plays #6 seed Korina PERKOVIC (464; career-high 339). Good luck to Darija.

Well, the 3rd seed lost to a 6th seed in straight sets

Not reaching semis isn't really a disaster, but it's not far from it considering the level of competition. She better make up for it in doubles, where she has reached semis, paired with Kozic (they're top seeds).

Another doubles title after a 6:2 6:4 win over Sabino/Vierin! Unfortunatelly, it won't help her much ranking-wise (maybe push her 4-5 places up), but it's better than losing, that's for sure. Well done Darija

After some less than impressive results lately (especially in singles) Darija seems to be getting back on track. She has reached QR3 or Biella 100k, after beating some unranked wild-carder first and then quite an in-form opponent, Ungur (well, in-form compared to Darija), both easily in straight sets. Next she'll play the winner of Sabino/Quercia, none of which I think is too dangerous, so she has a nice shot of making it to the MD. And there even one nice spot in the MD (against Moroni) where she might do some damage, but let's not get carried away.

In the final round of Biella qualies, Darija beat Sabino.

In the MD she plays Dokic!

^And when she beats her, she plays Martic

OK, jokes aside, too bad Darija isn't in a better form, cause Dokic is playing lousy at the moment, Darija might even have a shot with a better game. But who knows, it's been a while since she made an upset anywhere, so...

Darija and Moore made the quarters of doubles in Biella, after beating Castano/Oprandi (and after they received a WC)! They'll probably face the top seeds next, but whatever happens, Darija will move some 10 places up the rankings.

ma re · Sep 9th, 2009, 03:35 PM

Lost in 3, but still a good effort considering she took a set off Dokic

Hele. · Sep 9th, 2009, 05:13 PM

very close, 1-6 6-4 6-2

ma re · Sep 15th, 2009, 08:06 AM

Darija qualified for Sofia 100k without losing a set, including the match against the 3rd seed of qualies, Ozgen, whom she beat 6:1, 6:3! And she got a great draw in R1, an unranked wild-carder Tomova, so this is a chance Darija shouldn't blow. She's also the 2nd seed of doubles, paired with Zec-Peskiric, and they're already in the quarters!

ma re · Sep 15th, 2009, 01:09 PM

She won, but it was harder than expected, 63, 5:7, 6:2 I think. Well, a win is a win, and this win will push Darija quite a bit up the rankings. Nice work!

ma re · Sep 16th, 2009, 05:35 PM

Darija and Masa are in the semis of doubles, where they'll play Martic/Hercog
