Here we are again, for the n-th time. Kuzmova 1 match away from the top-100.
Is she going to lose again? :( :(

A night's rest will do, but she's also scheduled to play doubles today, 3 matches in a day with an important semi tomorrow........ #ed_op#img src="/board/richedit/smileys/Sad/18.gif"#ed_cl# #ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

 Hope all that time spent on court will make her tougher.
But seriously, should have withdrawn from the Doubles once rain delay mixed up the schedule.

LIVE Ranking:
101 Kuzmova (age:19 --- Highest Ranking: 104)
102 Alexandrova (age:23 --- Highest Ranking: 69)

One of them will enter/re-enter the top-100 after this match.
Very interesting how things turned out.

Kuz' and Alex' trade 7-5 scores. Don't know what's going to happen in the 3rd. Tight match......

Is Kuz' about to blow a 5-2 lead in the 3rd? She's having difficulty holding serve and was just broken to lead 5-4, Alex' on serve.

just turned it on. 4-5 Alexandrova serving to stay in the match.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Kuz hits a return winner 0-15#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Then Alexandrova hits 3 DF in a row to lose the match. Was she paid to lose?

#ed_op#i#ed_cl#I don't know, Ace, but Viktoria will take the gift, sending her into the top-100 (the 98th spot, replacing Brengle, who she dismissed in this event). If she wins the final, she'll vault to 83rd just ahead of Chris McHale. Hopefully, she'll do well in qualies at the French, so she'll be maindraw at Wimby. Sad ending tho' to a tight, competitive match.&nbsp;

I missed this match. Completely forgot to check the schedule last night.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#So the only shot I was was Kuzmova's return winner in that last game. :) :) She was sad I was not watching. So the minute I turned it on, she hit that deadly backhand cross-court to say "see, Ace?" LOL#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Good news, Ace. According to Spiceboy on the TF, Bellis withdrew and Kuzmova is now in the maindraw for Roland Garros. With a good draw she can now pick up some major points and keep herself off the ITF circuit.

Wow... that's nice. I hope she doesn't draw former French Open winners and Semi Finalists in R1.
True. There are bunch of girls she can put away for some big points in the first 2 rounds.
