Top 400 is so close. The last two weeks made up for what has been a pretty average year... Good to finish on a high

MD not out yet, but that's a pretty good start. Hoping for a good placement.

Won 11 of her last 12 matches now.

Mana · Nov 22nd, 2011, 08:01 PM

A good placement indeed, and she took advantage...

R1: (Q)Alexandra Artamonova (RUS) d. (Q)Nicola George (GBR) 61 64

Alex on fire. Great end to the season, with 13 of her last 14 matches resulting in victory.

Top 400 is here

really good week for Alex

Mana · Nov 25th, 2011, 06:57 PM

Should finish the year around #400 ish. Good to see her keeping it close. Let's hope she can play a full schedule next year and try and crack the top 200

Alex has gone 6-3 to start the season. SF, QF & R2 in three 10k's played. Career high at the moment of #388.

Alex playing 25k Moscow this week

QR1: Alex (4) defeated Julia GAVENKO (RUS) 6-1 6-1
QR2: Alex (4) defeated Tatiana KOTELNIKOVA (RUS) (15) 6-1 6-4

Main draw
R1: (Q)Alexandra Artamonova (RUS) d.Yana Buchina (RUS) 62 64
R2: Vs. (8)Dinah Pfizenmaier (GER)

Really good this week so far, and I reckon she's got more than a good chance of beating Pfizenmaier.

Go Alex go

Tennis Fool · Feb 21st, 2012, 06:43 PM

She 's at a career high now, but I don't believe she'll beat Dinah, who's really on her way to being Top 100 by the end of the year, I think. She's the next Mona Barthel.

Tennis Fool · Feb 23rd, 2012, 08:45 PM

Expected that Dinah won, but unexpected that Alex blanked her in the second-set tiebreak

Final score: 06 76(0) 16.

Mana · Feb 24th, 2012, 07:07 PM

Alex is improving. Won't be long before she starts winning these matches.

Career high next week of around #375 & doubles SF as well. Good week.

Tennis Fool · Mar 21st, 2012, 02:55 PM

At the 25K Moscow indoor this week. Alex started things off with a win over qualifier Karina Isayan, 63 64. Now faces #7 seed Lyudmyla Kichenok. Lyudmyla has a 1:0 advantage in their head to head, but that was 3 years ago.

Mana · Mar 21st, 2012, 06:11 PM

Good start Alex

Would love a possible QF vs. Dasha S

Mana · Apr 15th, 2012, 05:18 AM

Alex lost in 3 tough sets against Kichenok. Another good result. She's getting closer and closer to winning these matches.

Her schedule has been pretty slim this year, only playing 5 tournaments so far. However she's playing three weeks in a row starting this week which will be a good test to see where she is at.
