The tournaments on grass are under way and things are interesting for Poles. There was three Polish QF today, in London Fyrstenberg/Matkowski played Jeff Coetzee/Jordan Kerr and they lost. In the last QF of the day Lukasz Kubot with Oliver Marach played (WC)Colin Fleming/Ken Skupski. The match was going game by game on serve most of the first set (57), things got interesting when Polish/Austrian due faced match point in the second at 45. They even out 55 and went on to win this set in the tiebreaker. And then they won the super tiebreaker 10 7. So Kubot is now in the doubles semifinal, facing Wesley Moodie/Mikhail Youzhny. Lukasz is really getting good at this doubles stuff, I am impressed!
Things weren't so lucky for Ula Radwanska in Birmingham today, she lost to Magdelena Rybarikova of Slovakia in QF 63 63. Still, good run for Ula, she played 3 good matches, winning with Maria Kirilenko, Petra Cetkowska and Julia Georges quite easy. She got some practice before Wimbledon. Now she entered qualies in Eastbourne, joining Marta Domachowska. They both are supposed to play Saturday, Marta first match on court 1, facing Jarmila Groth, and Ula last match of the day (probably time permitting) against Ayumi MORITA (JPN)
Waiting for the main draw, Aga currently no 11, and lots of top players entered this event.
Speaking of perennial inconsistency Marta Domachowska, she played ITF tournament and lost in QF to Tatiana Malek. Hmm, where are you going with this, I wonder? Marta outside 100 with her first round RG exit, things are not looking rosy, if she is not going to get her act together pretty soon!
Anyway, next couple of weeks are not going to be easy for Radwanska family, hope everybody is healthy and ready, Aga has lots of points to defend, both sisters are favoring the grass surface, see what they can do with it!
