Hello guys from the hot, humind and beautiful Pattaya!! doesn’t feel so much of a tournament here, it’s very relaxing the place, the people are so friendly and kind, they always trying the best for us!! it feels good!! on court it’s very hard the conditions, you are sweating after 4-5minutes of hitting. the draw came out and I am playing vs a qualified on Tuesday. i am looking forward to be on court and play matches, I had a great couple of days out of matches an tournaments and I feel fresh to start again!! I can’t wait to play also the doubles here with the local player, one of the veterans on tour plus one of the best ones,with Tamiiiiiiii!! it’s always fun with her what ever u are doing together!! the matches are every day after 3pm local time, there will be few late schedules here. yesterday it was the players party of the tournament, at the pool side of the resort, next to the beach. of course I went for short time, it’s always great to support the tournament and the sponsors!! with out them.. wouldn’t be here either..its Monday today, I wish you all a great week and a lot of smiles!! greetings for the moment, Eleni
Dear guys! of course back at home from australia. I had great time as the most of the times over there, I love the places, the people and the weather too! Time went too fast, I couldn’t believe it when I was sitting in the plane that this trip was over already. I am not too happy with the results especially in doubles but I am pleased that I am again 100% with my health!! I am ready to go again full speed!! I am home for a few days and my next stop will be in Thailand. I have been playing this tournament in Bangkok a couple of years ago, it’s very easy going. it’s in a resort, the courts next to the rooms, very hot and humid and of course hard court. can’t wait to arrived there and play. I will be playing doubles with Tami. Until then…home sweet home!! Take care and have a great upcoming week!! Eleni
Not much to say…just a few words are coming…thanks for coming out today to support me!! It is just bad luck that i woke up this morning with a bad neck pain. I saw the physios before the match for quite a long time but it was not enough to be ready. They tried everything!! It was the joint, the same like in Sydney. Very very down at the moment to finish the first grand slam in this way. Tmw i know is a new day and i hope i will feel a bit better and give it a try for my doubles with Alex (Panova). Have a good night!
First round is Done!! I played a very solid match today, from the start until the finish. It was very hard to play…Much hotter than the other days and very windy too. Not easy to play at all. U need to play a bit different with this conditions, a bit more far from the lines, [...]
The first Grand Slam starts in a couple of hours..and one of the best ones too!! So happy to be one more year a part of it and this time in the main draw. i had a few days here in Melbourne, every day pasted amazing fast..actually too fast!! Can’t believe that soon i will be playing my first round. I got to play Kimiko (Date). She is one of the oldest and fittest player of the tour, a lot of experience too!! We never played against each other, we did practice a few times in Asia last year. She is tough to play, she is playing very flat and very close to the lines. Somehow it is great to play vagainst her as she is also one of the nicest players on tour!!! Probably the match will be on tv, press your thumbs for me. I will have early dinner of course and fast to bed! have a great evening or day, depends of your time changes, Take care all of you! Eleni!
Guys another loss today in doubles..we got in with Tami, we played for the first time together!!! we had to play vs Grandin and Ulihrova, a good doubles team. in the first we had too many chances, to many opportunity’s to close it up but we didn’t make even one, it was too sad to [...]
I lost after a huge fight on court yesterday. Not much to say about it…of course I need to improve things, I had my chances, i gave all what I had…considering my small injury that I had vs Stef in the 2nd round on my neck, today I could not win it and that’s how [...]
I hope u had a great celebration!! after my singles in Brisbane I had a few days practicing and today it paid off…I played a good match vs Pauline. She is a tough player to play, she is very dangerous too. So I knew that I have to be there from the first until the last point. In the first set the level was really good, I was playing so aggressive and moving really good. i had two times break points on her serve and didn’t make them but I broke her in 5-4 and won the first set 6-4. in the 2nd set I was very fast 3-0 up, 4-1 on serve and 30-0. In that game I played two times very wrong the points and suddenly the match turned a bit. the level of my tennis dropped a bit, it got very close, so I am too happy to finish it in 2sets. it was not easy to play today, the wind was coming and going all the time, u need to be focused all the time, even more than usual. first victory for 2012, I am looking forward for the next match vs Stefanie. Another French girl, we know each other long time ago. I need to play my game and go for it!!! looking forward…it will be tomorrow. enjoy the day!! your Eleni
