Agnieszka and Karolina in the semifinals in Stuttgart

Aga has impresive streak of good form. She just defeated the second time in a month Francesca Schiavone, playing very aggresively, and making the quick work of it. She had the express match in the first round, and now she defeated tricky Christina Barrois of Germany to advance into the semifinal in Porsche Open. People start noticing the "new" Aga, impressed with her improved serve, the versality of her game, the "take initiative" style, which works so good for her.

She is going to play Caro on Saturday, and on paper she is not favourite. That's OK too, no presure, just the chance to go back into the top ten. I don't think that will be affecting her too much. Caro herself was impresive in her defeat of Andrea Petkovic. Both players are having pretty hot streaks of good form, it will be interesting to see if Aga can be one of those rare few players who are capable of beating Caro these days.

Aga and Daniela victorious in Miami!

Aga scored the biggest doubles success of her career! Playing with Daniela Hantuchova only fourth time, she won her first Premier Tournament, famous Glam Slam! In the final they faced Nadia Petrova and Liezel Huber and defeated them in third set super tiebreak. It was Daniela ninth doubles title, but first since 2006. Aga won before playing with her sister Ula in Instanbul in 2007. Aga lost in singles to Vera Zvonarieva in quaterfinals, but her results over all are so promising! I always believed she has the abilities to do really well, and doubles with the right partner could take her far. She was in semifinal of 2010 of AO with Maria Kirilenko. Lets hope she will play with Daniela again, and win Grand Slam for Poland one day!

Polish Ninja takes Roland Garros Champion out of Miami!

Aga is having the incredible year after that awful history with the stress fracture last year. Not only she competed in AO, but she got all the way to quaterfinals, where she lost to Kimmi, but not after putting up a good fight. Then she got to QF in Dubai, fell in 1r in Doha. Then she started the american hard court swing and got to 4r in Indian Wells. All those were excellent results, keeping her in or around top 10. She plays in Miami Sony Ericsson Open this week and today she won a very important match. She made my day (which until then did not go too well!). Playing against her nemesis Francesca Schiavone in the fourth round she won that match 60 62! She lost to Fran four previous encounters, you can say Franny was career stopper for Aga, first way back in 2007, then in Bejing Olimpic Games, then in 3r AO 2010. It almost seemed that Italian has patent for winning with Aga. But not today. She won first 9 games of the match, breaking 5 times. Then she weathered the storm, being broken and keep on pushing, chasing Francesca all over the court, going for gutsy shots, and won in the third match point! Yeee! Doesn't matter what happens next (she plays Vera Zvonareva, lost to her once in 2007) I am the happy fan tonight!
Here is the video with highlights of the match, Polish Ninja at her best!

Sad end to dissapointing season

Aga out for the rest of the season, injury rather troubling, rankings down, talk about missing AO...

The only positive I can find right now is, next year no more mandatory events she doesn't want to play, maybe some smaller tournaments, maybe a title?
Get well soon, Aga!

Trying to understand why such a interesting player can be so frustrating....
