apoet29, you are totally right! Everything you said in your post, is correct. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
One thing I should also mention, this is the smallest WTA event Anna has played in her career. She has never played below Tier III until now. In fact, in the past she mainly plays Tier I and Tier II. I think that was a mistake, she should have started out with the smaller events and then worked her way up. However, there is now no seeds left in her portion of the draw. In the bottom half, Nagyova (whom I considered the biggest threat) has also been eliminated. That leaves Kremer and Panova as the top seeds. At filderstadt, Anna lost to Kremer 7-5 in the third set, but played an awful match, including 25 double faults. So, if Anna can come close to beating her at 30% of her full ability, she should have no problem being fully healthy. She hasn't faced her next opponent, Gagliardi before, but Anna is fully capable of beating her. Again, the nerves thing might do her in but I think she's ready to hold the winner's trophy at last! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
