Before my time, but Tatiana Golovin had her first match in 11 years today in Luxembourg quals, lost 3-6 1-6 to the promising Juvan, but that will be a amiliar face to a few on here.


 Yes, and as mentioned on the injuries post, it's lovely to see her back, fit and well, as she suffers from some special nasty form of arthritis (ankylosing spondylitis)


 Ah, didn't read that thread, and just saw that you also said 'as mentioned elsewhere', so I must have missed it twice smile


 No problem !!!

Tatiana was 'THE' face of French tennis TV presenting for a long time (basically after she had to quit prematurely from playing pro).

I could never really make up my mind if I liked her - she was known for being an utter little princess as a young tennis player and there was quite a lot of that in her tennis TV work too.

All very fluttery, and coquettish, and 'sexy', in a way I find pretty distasteful, to be honest.

But - not her fault - it's very much the style of French presenting - take one reasonably well-preserved 55 year-old man, and team him up with a 22 year-old girl in heels and lipstick and short skirt, make a few slightly risqué comments, make eyes, and seemingly French TV think that's a hit formula.

However, I do wish her all the best, and hope she can find a bit of success in her tennis as it's a horrid disease.  


 To be fair thats not restricted to the French

Eden had 2 points to hold and break the momentum of service breaks. When she didn't it was Monica who got going, and now leads 5-2

She and her team have done well to get into so many WTA qualies on her ranking.

She is in the doubles here with Naomi.
