That cannot have been nice to watch . Still a good run to equal last year's. Hope for a kind draw this week in Paris, no points to defend. Good luck, Lera

[Pvt. Kovalenko]

Begin tomorrow, her run for a place in the MD:

Lauren Davis(USA) vs. Valeria Savinykh(RUS)[16]

4th Match at Court 11. Good Luck Lera!!

Draw of Quali is here: http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/sc...s/us/r1s3.html

I really enjoyed watching Davis here in Strasbourg. She played solid against Chang, demolished Garcia, difficult start against Minella but packed herself together again in a most convincing way and nearly defeated Larsson in one of the most exciting matches in Strasbourg so far.

In other words, this could be a very difficult nut to crack for Lera.....

[Phenomareva]

Though indeed, Lera will have to play her best. Good luck

[Tennis Fool]

I think her section is very do-able:

Stefanie Voegele SUI (9) v Noppawan Lertcheewakarn THA
Julia Cohen USA v Petra Rampre SLO
Myrtille Georges FRA (WC) v Yvonne Meusburger AUT
Lauren Davis USA v Valeria Savinykh RUS (16)

[Phenomareva]

Not looking too good for Lera atm, she lost first set in a tie-break 10-8, despite being 6-4 up in that one, and now 0-3 down in second . She is a great figther, but it will be a tall order.

[Tennis Fool]

Lost 67(10) 16. I think she just lost motivation after failing to convert multiple set points.

75K Nottingham.

Plays Kai-Chen Chang opening round.

[Phenomareva]

She lost 3-6, 4-6 . Chan is a good grass player though. Next week another ITF in Birmingham, hopefully she can get some matches under the belt there.

si, es triste enterarse que perdio nuestra jugadora preferida
pero es mejor ver las cosas de otra pespectiva
por ejemplo el arte de ganar se aprende en las derrotas

Lera is now in Nottingham 50K and played her first round match against Qualifier Buyukakcay. She won with an odd scoreline of 6-0, 5-7, 6-0 . Apart from the tied second set, she scored a doubel bagel !

[Rix643]

Women's tennis at its best. (Well almost, 6-0, 0-6, 6-0 would be more typical)

Haha, I would have killed to be able to watch this match with such a scoreline.
