if she's not injured after retiring today

final qualies round tonight so Anne won't play til Wednesday at the earliest. Give her a good chance to recover from whatever caused her to retire on Satruday!

She's in Canada.

Anne K's first round opponent is qualifier Ipek Senoglu (TUR) (559)

If memory serves me correct she used to batter everyone in British futures tournaments.

Good win for Anne  especially given that it's her first outdoor hard tournament for a month. She now plays 30 year old Indonesian veteran Romana Tedjaksuma (ranked 296) who won in 3 sets. Tedjaksuma has never been higher than 242 but she's a dangerous player on US hard courts, making two 25K quarters and a semi in 2006 aswell as winning a 25K title in Indonesia. She beat both Mel South and Katie O'Brien in straight sets last year. 

Anne won 6-4 3-6 6-1

Next up is qualifier Madison Brengle of USA. She has beaten Jugic-Salkic who I believe has beaten anne this season. Could be a tough one... Brengle is ranked 469.

Anyone know anything about her game?

Anne's quarter-final result isn't in yet

Report on Anne's rd2 win (from a fan courtside):

Behind us, #3 seed Anne Keothavong is taking on Romana Tedjakusuma. That's a definite power-versus-speed match; Tedjakusuma runs around with almost Michael Chang-like mini-steps and gets to a lot of things, but puts very little sting on the ball, while Keothavong hits much harder. But Keothavong, who was up 4-3 and serving in the first set, was broken in game eight and called the trainer. Something to do with her right hand or wrist, I think. Whatever the trainer did, it worked pretty well; Keothavong broke in the next game, hitting runaround forehands with great effect. She held to finish off a 6-4 set. I'm told that the British have always wondered why Keothavong doesn't produce better results than she does. I will agree that she seems to have a lot of game, but it's hard to tell, looking over my shoulder, how well she is using it.

You may also find this interesting (Anne's quarter-final opponent is Madison Brengle, this is a report on her rd2 match v Jugic-Salkic):

"Next up on center court was Madison Brengle against Bosnia's Mervana Jugic-Salkic. Jugic-Salkic is a veteran; her best result was a quarterfinal at Hyderabad 2004, though she hasn't played a WTA main draw match since Roland Garros 2005 (she was injured for a while). Among others, she has beaten Jelena Kostanic and Shinobu Asagoe, and has been in the Top 100. She's big and tall, and it was instantly obvious that she hit harder than Brengle. Again, it would be speed versus power.

Jugic-Salkic chose to receive; I think that was so she would have a chance to feel out Brengle. It didn't take much feeling; Jugic-Salkic broke in the first game with ease, taking one point on a drop shot that not even Brengle could get to. She is a right-hander, with a two-handed backhand.

Her serve may not be quite up to the rest of her game. The motion looks fine, but the result didn't seem particularly powerful. She looks big and strong enough to produce a better delivery than that. Maybe that's why she hasn't been ranked higher. Certainly she's willing to try things -- she won the third and fourth points of her first service game at the net. But after building a 3-0 lead (two breaks), she lost the ability to keep the ball in the court. She was hitting balls long or wide on almost every point. Brengle won five games in a row before Jugic-Salkic managed to break. But then Brengle broke back to finish a 6-4 set.

The second opened with Brengle taking three straight games (one break). After which Jugic-Salkic called the trainer. She hadn't injured anything obvious, but she ended up having her right ankle taped. Brengle responded by, it appeared, having the trainer fiddle with her neck a little, just for a few seconds.

One person here thought Jugic-Salkic's injury was just gamesmanship. But she did fiddle with her shoes after that, and got a warning for it. She ended up calling in the tournament supervisor, not that it helped. First time I've seen that happen here.

Interestingly, Jugic-Salkic's rallying cry sure sounds like "Vamos!" She did manage to hold in the fourth game despite the warning. The question then was, of course, how Brengle would react to the delays. She had raised her game a lot as the match went on (helped, to be sure, by Jugic-Salkic opening doors for her), but there had been all those distractions after that. And, indeed, Jugic-Salkic broke in the fifth game, putting us on serve at 3-2. But she was limping, slightly but visibly, by that time. And the errors came back as she served in game six; Brengle broke for 4-2. And then -- Jugic-Salkic broke again, and held for 4-4. It was a match where no one seemed able to want to finish.

Brengle at least was able to fall back on her steadiness. She held for 5-4, as Jugic-Salkic asked to have one of the line judges replaced. At least, I think that's what happened; she complained aloud that he had gotten two balls wrong, then went and talked to the chair umpire, then the chair called him over and talked to him. But he stayed out there as Jugic-Salkic served to stay in the match. Fortunately he didn't have any controversial decisions to make. A Jugic-Salkic error gave Brengle her first match point, and another ball long gave Brengle a 6-4 6-4 win.

For all that she was hitting well and taking the ball cleanly, it seemed to me that Brengle was mostly letting the ball guide her; she very rarely changed its direction much. It might be something to work on."
