Caroline Wozniacki 1st player qualified for the YEC at Doha


Today's win was enough for Caroline to grab her ticket for the YEC or Sony Ericsson Championships at Doha ! The tournament will take place form 26/10/2010 'till 31/10/2010. Congratulations ! She still is n°1 at the Race Ranking ! 

Tokyo Pan Pacific Open 3rd round : Caroline Wozniacki crushed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 6-2



Well thinking that this match would be tougher than the one versus Arn was in fact not true ! Caroline played well better though than what she did against the Hungarian but yet she played a solid, focused and steady match ! 

But at the other side, Pavlyuchenkova acted sometimes like a Junior : got frustrated loads of time and even at times where it wasn't necessary ! She brought totally herself out of the match ! The double fault that gave Caroline Wozniacki the 1st break already was the nail on her coffin at 2-1 in the first in favor for the n°1 seed !  After that she turned into an error machine, lost completely her concentration despite at times hitting some very good points. She was on a self-destruction mode. 

Yet Caroline did what she had to do ! I think Caroline can be satisfied about her match ! 


Her next opponent will be no one else than one of her if not her BFF : Agnieszka Radwanska. For me the real big test for Caroline there in Tokyo ! 


COME ON CAROLINE !!!

Tokyo Pan Pacific Open 2nd round : Caroline Wozniacki defeated Greta Arn 6-1, 6-3.



I wanted to see what she would bring after her post US Open break, I can't say that I'm fully satisfied with what she showed today. At times she looked rusty. During the match there were 2 negative points at her game : she never attacked the 2nd serve of her opponent and hit especially during the 1st set some very stupid mistakes with her forehand !

Hopefully the Hungarian hit loads of errors and also committed double faults on crucial points !

The score would make you think it was impressive but don't fall in the trap : it wasn't impressive at all : Caroline only did what she had to do without playing well at all but in the 2nd set it was better but still not clinical !  

She won it ugly but a win is a win ! Her opponent in the 3rd round will be Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova : a tougher test than the one she had today !  Being up a gear in comparison with today wouldn't hurt at all !

Toray Pan Pacific Open of Tokyo 2010.





After 2 deserved weels of rest, Caroline has the Pan Pacific Open on her agenda ! SHe got a BYE for the 1st round ! I really am curious to see how she gonna perform on a tournament where she hadn't much success : in 2008 a 1st round exit and in 2009 a 2nd round exit ! All I want is that sheo goes far in the tournament with some very good wins and some quality tennis ! Her opponent in the 2nd roud is Greta Arn of Hungary ! 

NOTE : With the absence of Serena Williams she is the 1st seed at that tournament and of course she'll be the woman to beat ! 

After months of absence of this blog : I'm back !


After months of not having written anything since more than 6 months, I'm back to give you my impressions about Caroline Wozniacki's match ! I'm sorry for my accustomed readers for my huge lack of updates but I'm back alive an kicking ! Also I had the saddest news in July that my mother passed away because of the Parkinson disease she since more than 10 years suffered. 

All her result from March 'till September !
