It is now Friday and I played yesterday in the quarters of the singles and the doubles. I played the #3 seed yesterday in the singles, the #1 player from Australia. I had lost to her twice before and was a bit nervous about playing her. I knew what I needed to do to beat her, but it was a matter of executing the right shots. She is a very aggressive player, big serve and a big net game, but not very mobile. My strategy was to keep the balls deep and not let her get to the net as much as she would like to. I broke her right away, first game!! That gave me alot of confidence. I also noticed that she lacked confidence on her forehand so I was relentless and kept her moving and hitting to that side. She has a great backhand and she diguised her drop shot very, very well!!! I played a tough first set, and won it 6-4. I started well in the second and won the second 6-2. This was a great win and now I am into the semifinals of the singles at the World Championships!!! I play a tough opponent today, #1 Czech player. I warmed up this am and feel great!! I am ready to rumble!!! My doubles partner, Myke and I also yesterday in the quarters of the doubles so we are in the semis of the doubles. We play the Australian, Brenda Foster (who I just beat in singles), and the #1 player from Great Britain. It should be a very good match!!!!
