She only plays the low egypt ITF touraments and manages to keep a ranking. whats her relationship with the country? does she live there or is she not laying much cos she is only in her early 20's

I started the same kind of thread months ago.
I guess Galina lives there, and doesn't want to travel.

Galina Fokina

she beat anya

She is too good for all those events in Egypt but I guess isn't good enough to move her ranking up and become a top Russian player.

Her stats show she is 14-1 in singles and 10-1 in doubles but has won about $5,000 in prizefund.

Maybe she is just playing for fun now who knows?

It's interesting. In 2000-2004, before she started to play exclusively in Egypt she had wins over: KOURNIKOVA, Morigami, Jidkova, Ani, Salerni, Serra-Zanetti, Poutcheck, Wartusch, Fedak, Rodionova, Cervanova, Bartoli, Piedade, Bammer...

Cleary she had the talent, maybe her heart wasn't in it for the WTA tour grind!

She could be a Top 250 player, but oh well :shrug:

 

[Slumpsova]

weird.

She is a talented player yet never filled her potential.
