Bolender reached the QF of 10K Wichita in her last tournament. She is a 1992 born junior, and is close to her career high at 134 in juniors... could be a very tough encounter, who knows...
Zemenova is far better than an average qualifier. She was the runner up in the NCAA champs and is unranked just because she went pro a few weeks ago (if at all). Also, she won a 25K after qualifying in 2004, which shows us how good she is.
Em will have to play way better than how she has been playing.
Great to see Em back playing and winning matches. Shes never reached a final at 10k or 25k level so this would actually be a big breakthrough.
Her ranking will yo, yo over the next few weeks up and down but after her wrexkam points comes off she has nothing coming off untill November and then its just 5 sets of 1 points.
Great stuff from Em. Winning 4 3 set matches in a row. Shes got to be feeling match fit now. It is ridiculus that she has never reached a final before and shes never won a title. Should be made right tonight.
