China wasn't such a good tournie for shinobu
But she's playing better in Korea
In the dubs she and Srebotnik are the number 1 seeds. Shinobu is seeded number 2 in the singles and won her first round macth easily. In round 2 she plays Abigail Spears. Good luck

 

[pcrtennis]

Shinobu lost to Spears....I cannot believe it. Spears is a substandard talent with a substandard game. Shinobu should have won in straights. Rediculous loss......

Good luck in the doubles Shino!

 

[Sammm]

Shinobu is so inconsistent. She has got to turn up and play well in Tokyo next week; she can't disapponit us or the home fans again!

Shinobu and Srebotnik win the Japan open doublles title

Shinobu is in Zurich qualifying and seeded 7. She beat Pisnik 2-6, 7-6, 6-3

 

[Reichen]

1st Qualifying Round: (7)Asagoe def. Pisnik 2-6 7-6(1) 6-3
2nd Qualifying Round: (7)Asagoe def. Husarova 6-1 6-2
3rd Qualifying Round: (7)Asagoe def. (4)Chladkova 7-6(4) 6-3

1st Round: (Q)Asagoe vs. (9)Sugiyama

Possibly=

2nd Round: (Q)Asagoe vs. (LL)Pennetta or (Q)Mikaelin
Quarterfinals: (Q)Asagoe vs. (3)Dementieva
Semifinals: (Q)Asagoe vs. (4)Sharapova
Final: (Q)Asagoe vs. (1)Mauresmo

Great job for Shinobu! She now plays Sugiyama for a spot in the 2nd Round...if she upsets Ai, then she gets to play a Qualifier/Lucky Loser! It looks like if she wins this match, she's pretty much in the Quarters of this Tier I!!!

 

[pcrtennis]

I wish she didn't have to play Ai in the first round.....good luck to both of them!

 

[ex hopman]

I smell the upset!

Only $8000 for winning the doubles?

Here's hoping that Shinobu will win more Tier I trophies in the future :yeah:

 

[Nochi]

Yeah, I hope she can get better results next year. Shinobu is very talented and it'd be great to see her show some of that off

 

[Nochi]

Musashino..next tournament i can c her maybe in February TorayPanPacific and i will take more photo to show u again ...

 

[pcrtennis]

Shinobu defeated Yoshida easily in the first round and then crushed Vinci eaven more easily in the second round....now she plays Dementieva! She has a great shot, especially on this surface!

Shinobu won their only meeting 5-7 6-3 6-3, but it was a few years ago on clay! SHE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY HER!

 

[Libertango]

YAY, Shino won again, 6-3 6-4 against Lena!! She seems to play well against her!! Now she plays Masha in the semis. Go Shino!!
