Eggie, lol at you!

GO CANADIAN GIRLS! It's long overdue until they can break through somehow in the near future! We the canadians have been waiting for so long since Carling Bassett.

Poor Ko, she's in much tougher draw than Katarina.

I am going to keep my eyes on Katarina Zoricic. She has a good chance to be in the WTA top 50. But I will give her time. She has defeated Beier Ko in Jr Canadian Open last summer. Also, I know she lost 1st Q-round but recieved a wildcard to enter into the qualifying draw of Bank of the West Classic last summer.

Don't forget, Katarina will be 15 tomorrow. It would be a nice b-day gift if she wins tomorrow!

C'mon CAN girls! I want to see you guys doing well in the summer when I come out and watch you!

I am so excited for the arrival of new season 2002!
