Re: Julia's Oceanic Swing 2013
Na it is, then. The less preferable opponent, no matter how you look at it  But definitely beatable. And, like Vikapower said, it's about time she gets a notable win

Re: Julia's Oceanic Swing 2013
In the last 16 once again. Looking at her shape before the tournament this is a little unexpected.
So happy for Julia.
I really hope she is hungry for some more now.
Something extra special will be needed to get past Li and finally reach a quarter final at a GS.
Forget about what happened in the last year, get your shit together and then go for it, Julia !

Re: Julia's Oceanic Swing 2013
After the match Julia said -
Quote:
"Es war ein tolles Match von uns beiden und von Anfang an ein sehr hohes Niveau. Ich habe einen sehr guten ersten Satz gespielt, dann hat sie mir ihr Spiel mehr aufgezwungen. Aber es war sehr wichtig für mich, zu sehen, dass ich mein Level noch mal höher schrauben und so eine Partie dann noch drehen kann"
"Ich habe jetzt Blut geleckt. Ich stand bei Grand Slams mehrmals in der dritten Runde, jetzt könnte es auch mal weitergehen. Jetzt, ab der dritten Runde, muss man anfangen zu spielen. Jetzt geht's um alles. Ich hoffe, ich kann mir gegen Li Na auch eine Chance herausspielen", meinte sie weiter.
|
Quote:
"It was a great match from both of us. It was on a very high level from the beginning. I played a very good first set but then she forced her game on me. In the end it was very important to see that I could raise my level and turn this match."
"I taste blood now.
I already reached the third round quite a few times.
This time I hope I can go deeper.
Now, from the third round on you have to start to play. Now, it really matters. I hope I can create my chances against Li Na."
|
Julia actually is a little confused about the schedule of the tournament(s)  , but of course she is very happy.

In the end it`s once again about the same ol` drama.
It`s whether her ambition and fighting spirit can hold the upper hand over her tendency to get desperate and negligent.
This time she was rewarded by a win over her opponent and herself.

Re: Julia's Oceanic Swing 2013
Great win, good fight in the end.
Li isn't unbeatable.

Re: Julia's Oceanic Swing 2013
She definitely has her chance. She will need to take it, but Na is much less consistent than Aga, she usually always has her regular lapses in basically every match, when she is in ErrorNa mode. Govortsova almost took a set from her in R2 (she would have hadn't she choked  ). Julia will have to be strong and not waste opportunities.

Re: Julia's Oceanic Swing 2013
Lost the 3rd set 5-7 in doubles and apparently had to take an injury time out.

Yes, apparently she had problems with her eyes.
