Kim is back..hopefully fit and ready to play.

Her first round is against Oprandi whom she lost against last year and injured ker ankle which kept her out the rest of the last year.

Time for revenge Kim. Please play injury free for the rest of the year.

She is in the bottom half.

it's not working 100% for me, but it's something

6-7 for Oprandi...
Let's just copy/paste what we wrote exactly one year ago after exactly the same set... That's getting seriously frustrating.

i know grass means a lot to kim... but she kind of sucks on it.

[Hashim.]

lol. She looks like an amateur out there. Grass is really not her surface. But seriously please don't lose to Oprandi

[Hashim.]

She won. 9 aces 4 dfs. Didn't face a break point in the last two sets. Ground game was off in the first half. Got better as the match progressed.

Phew!/Oef!/Ouf !

Not terrible stuff from Kim given how rusty she was. She just needs a lot of match practice. This was a very important win I think, and she looked really happy afterwards. Anyone understand what she said in the on-court interview? Kim needs at least two more matches I think before heading into Wimbledon, especially since she can face anyone in the first round. Errani (presumably) will hopefully give Kim more rhythm than Oprandi.

phew, first set loss after 5-2 up = clearly no match rythm but from the 2nd set on it was getting better! some nice points but also some bad ones, the serve was really good !

I don't remember everything she said in the on court interview but one of the things was that it's really nice to play close to home, many friends and family can come and watch her play, but during the tournament she stays in Rosmalen, she's not going home everytime. Tonight, after the interviews and press conference, she'll watch the football (the Netherlands are playing a crucial match in the European Championships)
