Mixed success today at the WTA qualifying tourmaments.​

Elena Baltacha beat Belgian Caroline Maes in two sets 6-3 6-2 and goes on to face French star Stephanie Cohen-Aloro (who she beat at the 2005 Australian Open!!!).

However, Sarah Borwell lost her first round qualifying match to Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan 6-2 7-5.

Good Luck to Elena as she takes on Steophanie tomorrow!

elena wins a match?

 

[Steffica Greles]

She's hilarious. She's like another, crappier version of Screamapova (Sharapova). When she's behind, all that's different is she screams louder and louder, and even though she's even more one-dimensional and erratic, people say "Oh God, isn't she a fighter".

What a joke.

elena wins a match?

Yep. She has every chance of beating Stephanie. Hope this is a big turn around for her!

also anne lost in her final today.


but her ranking will be close to the top 160

 

[Steffica Greles]

Why do they bother?

Couldn't they try pop idol or something? Surely there's something they're better at than this.

Well, Baltacha is one of the worst tennis players I've ever seen...

[jonny84]

Elena is not one of the worst tennis players!!!

She has a medical condition which does hamper her career as well which doesnt help her cause. Can you qualify and reach the 3R of a Grand Slam???
