Week 31 - ITF ($50k) - Astana, Kazakhstan - Hard


Emily is playing here but there's still no draw up anywhere (last year they even had draws/OoPs on their own site, but judging by the fact that even the Almaty 25K hasn't appeared at http://www.ktf.kz/news/itf.php, I'm not hopeful for Astana either), however she has tweeted "little w...girl gave it a slap and balls are like absolute tretorns after 3 games...1 more to qualie, davay." this morning, which suggests she is due to play the FQR tomorrow and may already have 4 ranking points for making the FQR.

We could take it as homage to the punning 'skills' on here ... since at one point she said she was getting bored in Almaty and could anyone make her laugh and I offered her that quote from here (with an instant apology smile.gif)

She did indeed lose, 6-1 7-6(7), and with Yulia Beygelzimer (UKR), she lost R1 of the doubles to no. 4 seeds Fedak (UKR) & Vasylyeva (UKR) by the narrow margin of 5-7 6-3 10:8. cry.gif

Bah! Still it's been a good week, and I'm glad to see her return to the top 400 (and she deserves to go much higher).
