Week 29 - WTA International $220k - Portoroz, Slovenia - Hard
Permalink  

QR1: SMITH, Anna (GBR) WR 264 v ALVES, Maria Fernanda (BRA) WR 275 
QR1: 5 KEOTHAVONG, Anne (GBR) WR 153 v wc KOLAR, Nastja (SLO) WR 1050

Edited to add WRs.

This should be a nice warm-up match for Anne. Kolar's has just turned 16 and has a total of 3 WR points. These were all gained in Slovenia and courtesy of 2 WC and a WC into a $10K in which she won one round.

Anne has a great chance to qualify here. The other seed in her section is #3 Panova, who is mainly a clay courter really and was beaten by Cavaday in the AO Qualies. The likes of Danilidou, Pliskova etc. are in other sections so really a fairly straight forward path for Annie.

Although I agree that it is a good draw for Anne, Kolar is a useful player currently ranked 6 in Juniors and an Orange Bowl semi-finalist. However she gets most of her points on clay, so Anne should progress comfortably.

Anna loses 6-2 6-2 - a poor scoreline against someone of similar ranking and recent track record on hardcourts

Anne 6-4 5-3* - broke again to serve for the match but was broken to love

Scoreboard froze at 5-3 30-0* but presumably Anne broke to win the match, as another has now appeared on the scoreboard

QR2: ALVES, Maria Fernanda (BRA) WR 275 v 5 KEOTHAVONG, Anne (GBR) WR 153
