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 !

Some random pictures of Caroline training at Indian Wells

Indian Wells 4th round : Caroline Wozniacki defeated Nadia Petrova ( RUS ) 6-3, 3-6, 6-0

It's the 1st time since the Australian Open Caroline Wozniacki win 3 matches in a row ! I didn't watch the match but what I red she didn't hit many winners, far from it ! She only hit 8 winners during the whole match. But getting at least the 1/4 finals of the tournament is quite satisfactory. But I still hope of more of course ! 

Indian Wells : 2nd, 3rd round results

Caroline Wozniacki survives from Vania King ( USA ) 5-7, 6-2, 6-4

Caroline Wozniacki crushes Maria Kirilenko ( RUS ) 6-3, 6-0

Dubai 3rd round : Caroline Wozniacki ousted by Shahar Peer 2-6, 5-7.

There was no coverage of the match but what i've seen of the statistics of the match, Caroline played a very disappointing match to say the least ! She faced breakpoints at each of her service games and only held twice on ten service games played during the match. That's not what you should expect at all from the n°3 in the world ! 

Caroline only won 2 out 10 service games!!
Aces: 3
Double faults: 4
1st serve %: 60
1st serve points won: 19/45 (42%)
2nd serve points won: 11/30 (37%)
Total service points won: 30/75 (40%)

Shahar Pe'er only won 5 out of 10 service games.
Aces: 0
Double faults: 4
1st serve %: 61
1st serve points won: 22/43 (51%)
2nd serve points won: 12/28 (43%)
Total service points won: 34/71 (48%)

Disastrous : that's the only word that come to mind when I see such woeful  stats ! 

Where did she had her head at ? I'm sorry but this season so far she didn't show she's her n°3 in the world spot worthy ! She only showed so far a top 20 or 25 player performances : that thx to her 4th round at the AO otherwise it would have been worse ! Where's her game of last year ? But for me, I stay put, she distracts herself too much of the real job with the sponsors bull**** ( Rolex the last sponsoring stunt ), with budying up with other players while she had already enough excellent friends on tour ( Viktoria Azarenka, the Radwanska sisters, Sorana Cirstea to name some ) and some other stuff I don't know because I just am a fan ! I'm sorry, Caroline, you ain't on the right path ! Time to wake up, getting back to the real work and perform like the n°1 in the world you dream to become one day because the downfall never is far at all ! 

Dubai 2nd round : Caroline Wozniacki defeats Dominika Cibulkova 6-2, 7-6

Didn't watch the match so I won't be able to give you my impressions. But it seems she played well to qualify for the next round. She fought back in the 2nd set though : she was 5-1 and 40-30 behind in that set. In the 1st round she didn't play as she was BYE.
