Re: Ana Konjuh
Laura Robson didn't win 3 huge tournaments in a row like this though... Has it ever been made before?

See' you in a few days.
By the way, Ana is #1 now, right? It seems like there's no mountain too high in juniors anymore.

Nice to have you back.  Hope you feel better now
Ana is incredible, yeah  Plus she seems to be such a nice girl, calm, humble, down-to-earth...

Re: Ana Konjuh
Lots of power and advanced court awareness for her age. Game reminds me a bit of Madison Keys.
Just read that she's 1.74 m. She looks much taller than that, at least 1.80 IMO.

Welcome back !
Ana's father said that they have 3 goals for this year:
1. No.1 junior
2. juniors GS title
3. 200-250 WTA ranking (they didn't say but that means that the plan is AO next year)
1. and 2. is acomplished (I think that Ana is No.1 now). After Fed cup she can start to play 10k an 25k,...

time to start planning the itf schedule  she should play the couple of spring itfs in croatia for sure

Thanks for your concern guys, but don't worry, I din't mean that kind of problems  I just had a tough time with myself, I've got to set up my mind, think about the future and some other shit like that.
The down-to-earth attitude is making me like her more, plus this kind of people tend to be more successful in following their paths, which is another sign that an injury-free Ana should be big one day.
The Eddie Herr - Orange Bowl - Aussie Open streak is fabulous at 14-15 and Ana has many things left in the tank, but she has nothing more to prove in juniors. A junior RG title this summer wouldn't hurt, though
