Hey, I think someone is really unlucky with draws in the last few weeks:

Gold Coast -- tough loss (3 sets) to Stosur who went on to reach two finals
Sydney -- red-hot Schnyder beats Maleeva; plays great the whole year
Melbourne -- in a great match (I saw it later) Maggie was beaten by Nadia, who even was a threat to Serena and played quite well after it
Paris -- loses to Mauresmo in the quarters with a good fight and was not being in an easier part of the draw again
Antwerp -- has to play Molik in Rd.2, who herself won Zurich Tier I and loses close again....

With a bit more of luck she could have had better results I think. She was quite unlucky and I think she showed us that she is better than in 2003/2004 and with a bit more of luck I see her in the top-15 or top-20 again....
What do you think and do you know other's who tend to have bad draws all the time, too?

Its just bad luck that she nearly always gets drawn with a seed in second round or the most inform player.

Yeah i know and IMO she really is better this year than most of those players who are always lucky and have cakewalk draws....

Ah here are your thoughts right now.

I totally agree
Maggie can do great this year and I hope she will

Those are tough draws. Right before Paris, I was saying something similar about Dinara.
She had the tough draws every week.
Eventually, Maggie will get some luck.
I hope she plays doubles with Lena L. in Qatar.

I don't know, but they would make a great combo IMO (better than Husarova for Likhovtseva). They have been practising a lot together which makes me optimstic.

Come on Maggie!
