Week 46 - ITF ($25K) - Bratislava, Slovak Republic Hard

wolf · Tennis legend

Anna 7-6(6) 4-6

Break point conversion killing her - 1 out of 10 and 1 out of 8 in set two.

wolf · Tennis legend

Anna went 3-0* up in the third set and there was a break of at least 15 minutes but they have just resumed.

Vajdova holds serve so Anna leads *3-1.

indiana · Tennis legend

Hope not any real problem for Anna, bearing in mind she withdrew from Loughborough last week.

wolf · Tennis legend

Anna finally closes it out breaking for the match to win 7-6(6) 4-6 6-4 in 2 hours 35 minutes.

Plays Lucia Butkovska next. Unranked in seniors but ranked 57 in juniors.

The match before Anna's is about to end, so she should be playing in next 20 minutes. Live scoring here:

Treat for us to have livescore for a 25k

The website for the tournie is pretty cool too. How come we can't do that?

Oh dear! Not a good start. *0-3

SMC1809 · All-time great

Broken to love. 0-4*

SMC1809 · All-time great

Anna on the board. *1-4. However, only 1 of her 10 points so far has come from her service game.

SMC1809 · All-time great

Broken to 15 this time. 1-5*.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Ret. here.

First set lost 1-6.

Anna won just 12 points during that set and 10 of those were when receiving. I can't believe Lucia's returns are that great, so I'm guessing Anna's serve is really weak. Only 1 DF from Anna though. Curious!

Anna lost 1-6 3-6

she seemed to step it up a bit in the 2nd set, but not enough

She's in the dubs with Naomi, and they've drawn 'those twins' in the 1st rnd !!!! But, she is an experienced dubs player with a recently won title which should help with confidence

Not a good looking scoreline there at all, and even with impoved serve stats, her overall serve stats ended at : won one game, broken 7 times, points won 13/42 (31%), Was 44% on return. Though her overall first serve % in was 55% and while no aces, only one DF

Don't know if Anna totally fit after her withdrawal last week. But generally her 2nd half of the year has really dipped after a very encouraging and consistent first half.

I hope that in the new year she can get her form back at least to where it was.
