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!
