Update From Dubai

Hello guys!! Has been long time to write some news. I am in Dubai since few days, I won my first round of qualis vs Vesnina and I lost in 2nd round vs Benesova yesterday. the score looks like an easy match but it was a bit more close. of course it’s a loss and it’s always tough to lose, doesn’t matter if it’s singles or doubles but I gave my best. she came up with some good tennis and if she keeps this level she will stay long here. she has such a good feeling for the court and she is very dangerous player!! let’s see her week. about doubles..I was supposed to play with Barrois here but we couldn’t get in, the draw size is only 16 teams so the cut off closed very very high, I think it was 85 in the end. anyways, next stop is Kuala Lumpur. i am main draw over there, I will not play doubles because I am in qualis in Indian Wells. I never played the tournament, something new to come…I will be early there to get used to the conditions, it’s even more hot and more humid than in Pattaya, that’s what they say…it’s hard to believe this…but let’s see…I wish u all a great week!! ciaoooo,your Eleni
