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!
