Had two tough three-setters in a row:

Qtrs, defeated Kumiko, 63 46 61.
Semis, defeated #4 Qiang Wang, 67(5) 64 64.

Now looking for her first grass title, and playing #3 Junri Namigata in the final. Will she have enough left?

CONGRATS to Marta for winning the 25K Karuizawa grasscourt, defeating Junri in a close three sets, 64 26 64!

This is Marta's first grasscourt title, third title of the year, and 9th title overall! Looks like Nottingham in two weeks will be next.

75K Nottingham grasscourt qualies.

Marta vs. WC Emily Crowe opening round. Go Marta!

Marta double-bageled the poor WC. Next up, #3 Larcher de Brito.

Lost to MLDB, 0 & 3. Apparently, she didn't have grasscourt shoes in the first set. Second set was moved indoors.

Well, onto 50K Nottingham next week.

50K Nottingham qualies. MUCH better draw

(2)Marta Sirotkina (RUS) v Yasmin Clarke (GBR)
Natasha Starling (GBR) v (wc)Eden Silva (GBR)
Jazzamay Drew (GBR) v Ivana Vukovic (CRO)
(7)Audrey Bergot (FRA) v Pippa Horn (GBR)

Congrats to Marta for qualifying into the main draw. How she did it:

d. Clarke, 1 & 2.
d. Starling, 1 & 3.
d. Bergot, 57 75 62.

The first two were obviously easy, and she survived the upset bid by Bergot.

Here's her section in the main draw:

(1)Anastasia Yakimova (BLR) v Tetiana Luzhanska (USA)
Madalina Gojnea (ROU) v (Q)Conny Perrin (SUI)
(wc)Katy Dunne (GBR) v (Q)Marta Sirotkina (RUS)
(6)Claire Feuerstein (FRA) v (wc)Lisa Whybourn (GBR)

Should at least win one round.

Marta had a nice tournament, reaching the quarters before eventually falling to #1 Nastia Yakimova, 4 & 1.

Now just two spots out of Wimbledon qualies. Fingers crossed!

Congrats to Marta, again, for making her first qualie appearance at a Slam! Here's her section:

(1)Melinda Czink (HUN) v Victoria Larriere (FRA)
Ekaterina Ivanova (RUS) v Maria Joao Koehler (POR)
(wc)Jade Windley (GBR) v Marta Sirotkina (RUS)
Heidi El Tabakh (CAN) v (22)Kurumi Nara (JPN)
