Happy New Year!!!

I hope u had a great celebration!! after my singles in Brisbane I had a few days practicing and today it paid off…I played a good match vs Pauline. She is a tough player to play, she is very dangerous too. So I knew that I have to be there from the first until the last point. In the first set the level was really good, I was playing so aggressive and moving really good. i had two times break points on her serve and didn’t make them but I broke her in 5-4 and won the first set 6-4. in the 2nd set I was very fast 3-0 up, 4-1 on serve and 30-0. In that game I played two times very wrong the points and suddenly the match turned a bit. the level of my tennis dropped a bit, it got very close, so I am too happy to finish it in 2sets. it was not easy to play today, the wind was coming and going all the time, u need to be focused all the time, even more than usual. first victory for 2012, I am looking forward for the next match vs Stefanie. Another French girl, we know each other long time ago. I need to play my game and go for it!!! looking forward…it will be tomorrow. enjoy the day!! your Eleni
