Poland advanced to World Group II by defeating Japan 3-2! I am so happy for them. It was quite a thriller with Ula loosing two rubbers and everything falling on the doubles team Jans Rosolska, but after exciting three set match the girls sealed the deal and now we officially made tennis history! Aga put on a solid performance, which gives good impresion just before the start of the marathon to RG!
Now I am waiting for the Stuttgart matches to start. With Fed Cup weekend I will have to wait a little longer, since so many players need travel and some rests, that Azarenka/Navarro match will have to be the highlight of the day.
The draw in Stuttgart is packed with some interesting competition: of course my favorite, two Polish girls - one Canadian Pole, Radwanska - Wozniak. Then some first round encounters to watch: Wozniacki/Benesova, Cornet/Hantuchova, Lisicki/ Schnyder, Zheng/Petrova, Dementieva/Groenefeld. I expect the first mentioned to come on top, but than again I just predicted wrong with Sarah yesterday, ha ha!
Ula Radwanska is going to Fes this week, playing against Klara Zakopalova. Is clay in Marocco going to suit better Ula's taste than the one on her home soil in Gdynia ? (she said she dislikes clay alltogether which is surprising for the former junior Rolland Garros 2007 doubles champion!)
