Anna seems to have a good doubles partnership going with Johanna (Jenny I think) Larsson who also has a solid singles record on clay at 25K and higher, so I think Anna is travelling with her doubles partner most of the year and then taking the opportunity to drop down to play in GB 10Ks to pick up singles points to maintain her ranking.

It seems to me that in terms of singles, she just gets blown off the court by too many opponents at 25K+ and at the moment she hasn't developed the game or the strength/fitness levels to deal with it yet.

Anna seems to me to have a very good technical game but unfortunately not enough power.

A shock indeed, but very encouraging at least for Anna (just when I was writing her off).

Anna's draw has opened up and will play a belgian wild card in 2nd round. Opportunity to gain big points having lost in qualis.

Piedade (204) losing to Bel Van Deun (829) certainly gives Anna a good chance to progress and further good news Anna & Johanna came through the doubles today against Oyen & Van Dyck 6-1 6-4
