Roland Garros

There was 8 players representing Poland in Paris, and 7 are still playing. Marta Domachowska lost her first round single match to Na Li. She was also playing double with Tamira Paszek and she also lost. No surprise there, Marta is continuing her inconsistent ways and cannot string together more than a couple of good matches. She is going to be outside top 100 after RG. Bummer, but I am losing all hope I had left left for her. She is pretty, but not a smart tennis player. She may deliver some better results in the future, but I doubt she will ever do anything significant.
I am also starting to wonder about Urszula Radwanska. Everybody is saying she is stronger physically, more talented, more aggressive than Agnieszka. But her head is missing in the matches. She lets herself to be bothered by court surface, spectator's behaviour, lost points, bad strokes, match not going her way, and she is not able to use all her potential. This is not the stuff the champions are made of. She lost her first round to Yanina Wickmayer, after winning the first set 64. What else is new? (She lost in Warsaw to Daniela Hantuchowva in the second round, not showing much!) I wonder how she managed to win that double Junior Roland Garros championship a couple years back?! I certainly hope she will do better on grass, which she insist is more her surface along with hard courts.
Ula and Aga are playing doubles and they won easily their first round match with Ukrainian Victoria Kutuzova and French Aravane Rezai, 62 61. Uff, at least no sweat for Aga here, she needs to stay healthy for her singles matches!
Aga won her first match 63 61 beating Rossana de Los Rios and is facing Maria Koryttseva in the second round. She is definite favorite leading their head to head count 4:0. Let's hope no surprise there! If she wins there maybe interesting encounter in the next round. Her opponent maybe Katerina Bondarenko (revenge for AO) or wild card entrant Polish/Australian Olivia Rogowska. This promising junior (whose parents immigrated to Australia in about the same time Wozniak and Wozniacki families did) defeated Maria Kirilenko in straight sets 64 64. Whoa!
Speaking of Polish immigrants and their children Karolina Wozniacki won her match with Vera Dushevina in three (64 57 16) spanned over two days. She is facing Jill Craybas next and I don't expect surprise there, Jill is not doing good so far this season.
Ola Wozniak also won her match, beating 46 64 36 Monica Nicolescu. Next for Aleksandra will be Martic.
On the men side Frytka/Matka won their first match, and they are facing Marc Lopez/Tommy Robredo next. In case they won they can be facing Lukasz Kubot/Olivier Marach. Still, Lukasz did not played his doubles match yet, so it is a big if for both teams. Kubot/Marach are playing Frenchies Mathieu Montcourt/Edouard Roger Vasselin tomorrow.
Lukasz won qualifying matches and got into the main draw in singles, but lost his first round match to Victor Troicki. It was pretty long match, five sets with the score 36 63 64 67 64. Good effort for Lukasz, maybe he is learning in the latter part of his carrier how to be a better single player, after all.
Agnieszka, Karolina, Ola, and Olivia are all playing tomorrow. I am waiting for the good news!
