A much different match to the steamrolling Anna dished out last week, but the same result. Sets up another shot at a now familiar foe.
L16: (Q) Anna BROGAN (GBR) UNR defeated María Fernanda HERAZO GONZÁLEZ (COL) [8] 661 7-6(3) 6-1

QF: (Q) Anna BROGAN (GBR) UNR vs. Andrea KOCH-BENVENUTO (CHI) [1] 314 (CH 224 06/2012)
H2H: 0-2 Both on the recent South American clay $10K swing.
In Pereira last week, AK-B won 2 & 4 in the QF, en route to the title.
In Quito, at the end of August, AK-B won 7-6(4) 6-4 in the SF

I apologise to everyone, I have been premature here.

The match to determine the next opponent is still ongoing. Koch-Benvenuto is up 6-2 4-1 up.

I registered it as a result somehow, but obviously not.

Again, sorry, for confusion. disbelief

To my relief Koch-Benvenuto wrapped up the win, and so will be Anna's next opponent
Anna's team took the first set in their doubles, 6-2

Amazing stuff! It's lovely seeing a new face (a new face for me at least) doing so well! Let's hope she just carries on to enjoy her tennis for a long time :)

Anna 's match has started. Score 2-2

A K-B seems to have Anna's number, yet again.

Anna, 2-6 1-2*

She is becoming rather annoying.

C'mon, Anna !

In Italian, Benvenuto means 'welcome', and no, she isn't, at all! Grrr!

Anna is funny, witty, popular with the nicer girls. How can u suggest she is no fun just cos she works hard? Dont know her that well but know her , but she has spirit and character. Get a life, critics. Who can do right for you!!!

Just reading back I really don't think anyone was suggesting that. CD just provided a quote, apparently by Anna herself and The Optimist provided a bit more background saying (pretty much what you did):

"The quote you posted CD maybe doesn't make Anna sound like she's much fun, but she's a very pleasant girl and popular with other players."

I wouldn't like to speak for anyone else but I'm sure nobody was critiquing her as you say so there's no need for any 'get a lifes'.

Assume this is aimed at my post. I really am at a loss to see how it can be read as suggesting Anna is no fun!! On the contrary, I was pointing out that although the quote from Anna posted by CD suggested a life of nothing but hard work, she was also a very pleasant girl, and popular with the other players.

I can't see anything in those comments that suggests anything other than positive things about Anna's character and I think your attack on my post is unjustified, NewToIt.

There was no accusation of anything negative, other than a quote pulled from Anna herself.
