Match Pictures

Regarding her behaviour in the match, I remember an interview posted at the Fed Cup against Argentina where Ayumi mentioned that she feels it is time for her to step up. I wonder if she's putting too much pressure on herself, the reason for her poor behaviour I've seen in recent matches and her loss of form the past few weeks. I'm sure she'lll step up now for the Asian MMs.

I remember a few years ago, Ayu used to show no emotion - position nor negative...

What is wrong with her arms and legs?

Ayumi plays Klara Zakopalova in the 1st round of Seoul!

Exactly what I was thinking. From the picture, it looks like it might be fungal infection caused by sweat, something like athlete's foot.

ANOTHER first round loss. Pfff

Decent draw in Beijing. She got a qualifier but then Bartoli, again.

Christina McHale in R1

She lost for the 2nd time after winning the 2nd set 6-0

the result is frustrating, but she seemed upbeat about the match which is good.

If only she could carry on her momentum for just half a set more. Chin up and be better with each week!

Nice draw for her in Osaka this week. Against Shuai Zhang and if she wins, Daniilidou. Two very winnable matches! Please play well, Ayumi-san.

This will be her last WTA event for the year.

Two easy wins in $100K+H Taipei, 6-2 6-4 over Iijima and 6-2 6-2 over Adamczak.

Probably facing Yung-Jan Chan in the Quarterfinals which will be tough, but this is a golden opportunity to make her first Semifinal of the year, even if it's challenger level

Go Ayumi!

6-7(5) 6-1 6-0 over Pliskova and 6-2 0-6 6-4 over Govortsova, into the final for the 3rd year in a row!!

Great tennis from her to finish the year. One more match, that will be either against Date or Chang. Really hope she can win the title this time!

Ganbatte!

And she won the title! Strong 6-2 6-2 win over Kimiko in the final, saving 10/10 break points

Looking forward to seeing the trophy pics.

That's the end of 2011 for Ayumi, great way to finish!

Lost her first match of 2012 to eventual winner Zheng 4-6 6-3 6-4 in the first round of Auckland. But she had a great attitude after the match and believes she played really well.

She faces defending champion Gajdosova in Hobart R1 tonight, another tough match-up. H2H is 2-2, with the Australian winning the last encounter 7-5 3-6 7-5 in Pattaya QF last year. But Gajdosova was a mess in Hopman Cup. Hoping Ayumi can get some revenge and get the first win of the year! Ganbatte~
