Tati Update
30th April
So now Tati is in the Rome main draw again, I don't know what to think :) I guess I will keep my mouth closed and I will wait to see what it comes :)

Tati has withdrawn from both Berlin and Rome events
30th April 2007
I'm really sad to announce that it seems that Tati has withdrawn from both Berlin and Rome tournaments always for her ankle problem. In Berlin her place in the main draw will be taken by Rezai and in Rome by Shaughnessy. I guess she will probably play Strasbourg before Roland Garros just to not go to Paris unprepared. Have a good rest and get well soon Tati!

Is Tati in doubt for Berlin?
28th April 2007
There are rumors that Tati withdrew from Berlin, I don't know if this is true cause she's still in the players list but what I can say is that she told in an interview after the FedCup encounter that she still has problem with her ankle :( Hopefully if this is a real news she won't miss Rome too also cause I'm going there to see her on May 14 :)

Site Update
27th April 2007
Just to make a little update while we're alla waiting for Berlin draw I've added two new encounters of other players :) The first one is Hantuchova vs Safina at Stuttgart 2006 and the second one is Pennetta vs Peng at this year FedCup. You can download them respectivily here and here.

Tati gives France the SF
22nd April 2007
Tati has beaten Ai Sugiyama 7-6(3) 6-0 to give France the third point and the win against Japan. After Tati's win Razzano won the other single match and Dechy/Bremond won the doubles: it was a 5-0 win!:=) Now Tati will celebrate and rest for a little and her next tournament will be Berlin, finally on red clay in Europe, starting on May 7. Congratulations again, Tati!

And the winner is...
22nd April 2007
I wrote a small java program to choose the winner, it's called "Random": I've inserted all the email addresses that you send me in an array, I've exctracted randomly a number and then I've picked up the email address whom position in the array was the same as the number extracted. If you want you can download it here and you can test it using a specific software such as "Eclipse" :) But now it's time for the winner...the winner is "tatianagolovin@telenet.be", congratulations! I'm gonna send u an email to know your home address :) Hope Tati will win more tournaments to make more contests like this :=)

Big Gift for you guys!
20th April 2007
In these days I've been pretty busy, but I've finally finished what I'm gonna give to one of you :) It's a video dvd that I made with a pretty box and an interactive menu dedicated to Tati's win in Amelia Island (it contains her QF, SF and F encounters). Here you can view the front of the box, the back and the menu.

Next stop for Tati
15th April 2007
Tati's next commitment will be the FedCup 1st Round against Japan: it will take place in the next week-end from April 21st to April 22nd at Limoges in France. The other players nominated along with Tati are: Nathalie Dechy, Severine Bremond and Virginie Razzano. The japanese team is composed by Ai Sugiyama, Akiko Morigami, Aiko Nakamura and Ayumi Morita. The draw ceremony will be on Friday but Tati will be with the French team since this monday, good luck Tati!
I'm working on a little thing dedicated to Tati's Amelia Island win; I can't tell you more but I want to give "this" to one of you Tati fan :)

Tati was forced to retire
14th April 2007
Tati didn't end her QF match against Safina because she was forced to retire for a right ankle injury; I don't think this one it's too serious like the previous ones because she retired at the end of a set and maybe it was more a precaution because in these two weeks she played so many encounters. I'm glad that she made this decision because playing again and again it could have made this worst. Tati is so unlucky, she needs to protect herself from this kind of things :( Anyway for more info you can read Tati's interview transcript here.
Get well soon Tati and hopefully you will play in FedCup next week!

Tati is in the QF
12nd April 2007
Tati has just beaten Shuai Peng 6-2 4-6 6-3 and she reached the quarters where she's gonna play against Dinara Safina; I didn't see Tati's match but watching at the result I must say that she has been very strong and in the end she seems more mature to me after winning her first title :) tomorrow order of play is still unknown but Tati's surely gonna play (hopefully in the period of time covered by Eurosport :) ).
Tati has played four times before against Safina and she won three of that matches. Three of them ended at the third set and the most recent one was in Antwerp in 2005: since that both girls are really improved but I think it's gonna be a pretty close match anyway. I really hope that Tati won't be too tired, I'm really proud of the way she's behaving!Good luck, Tati!

Tati's third round match will be today
12nd April 2007
Tati's match is scheduled to be the third one on Stadium Court (play starts at 11:00 am). Her opponent will be Shuai Peng who has beaten Patty Schnyder last night. Tati has a negative record against her: she lost two times in 2003 and in 2005 and she won only once this year in Sydney 6-4 7-5. I really hope that Tati can repeat that Sydney win!Good luck Tati!

Tati is in the third round!
11st April 2007
Tati won another match and she reached Family Circle Cup third round by beating Jill Craybas 6-0 6-1, this is such an impressive win!Now she's gonna face the winner of the match between Shuai Peng and Patty Schnyder; it's pretty difficult say who's gonna win this match but both are tough players and Tati will have to continue to give her best!
Thanks to "Dementrova" from WTA World Boards we have the trophy presentation @ Amelia Island, you can download it here!

Tati's gonna play again today
11st April 2007
Tati's gonna play today her second round match against Jill Craybas; her encounter is scheduled to be the third one on Althea Gibson Stadium (play starts at 11:00 am local time), hope Tati won't be too tired!Good luck Tati!
You can read a transcript of Tati's yesterday post-match interview here :)

Tati wins 6th match in a row
10th April 2007
Tati won her 6th consecutive match by beating Dominika Cibulkova 6-4 6-1 in the first round of the Family Circle Cup. Now her next opponent will be Jill Craybas; Tati has played against her once before in 2004 in Rome and she won 6-4 6-2 but I think that the Tati we have all seen in Amelia Island can easily beat her again, go Tati!

Tati's gonna play today
10th April 2007
Tati's gonna play today her first round match in Charleston against Dominika Cibulkova; Tati has never played against her before but I think she must be concentrated cause Dominika is a young player (it's one year younger than Tati) and she can be relaxed after winning her first title. The encounter is scheduled to be the second one on Stadium Court (play starts at 10:00 am local time), good luck Tati!

Tati will attend Lacoste Fashion Show tonight
9th April 2007
Tati will not play today her first round match, but tonight in Charleston she will attend the Lacoste Fashion Show. More info can be found here.
Site Update: here's finally the whole third episode of "Tatiana's World" from Miami!

Charleston Draw
9th April 2007
I know we're all still celebrating Tati's win but I must say that Charleston draw has already been released and in the first round Tati has to play against a qualifier or a lucky loser and then in a second round again against a qualifier/lucky loser or Jill Craybas. The first seed Tati can find is Patty Schnyder in the third round; it's a pretty good round, hopefully Tati won't be too tired after this amazing win and the probably wild celebration :) You can view the entire draw here.

Tati won her first WTA Title!
8th April 2007
At her fourth final Tati was able to catch her first WTA title!Tati played in an amazing way, she was strong, she was able to make winners, she kept Petrova under pressure all the time! She totally deserves this win, today she played like a top ten player!She didn't felt the pressure at the end and catching the title on Petrova's serve probably helped her :) I know that from this day on things will be less complicated for Tati, she lost a great weight by winning today and now she can play more secure of herself!I don't what can I say more to describe this, I just want to upload the match so everyone can see how well she played!So stay tuned for it and again congratulations Tati!!

Tati finally beats Ivanovic and moves into the final!
7th April 2007
I guess this is been the sweetest way for Tati to reach the final: finally beating Ana Ivanovic! It was a strange match like the previous ones, both players have played better (especially Tati) but there has been a lot of unforced errors, breaks and missed opportunities. Infact Tati had her chances to lead 4-3 in the second but then she lost 6-3; in the third set Tati went 5-2, she served for the match but Ana broke her back and went 4-5 and Tati won only on the third match with a great point. I'm very satisfied with the way Tati played, she was very focused and she didn't let the match go even after the way she lost the second set. Now tomorrow in the final she's gonna face the winner of the match between Nadia Petrova and Sybille Bammer, so probably Nadia but you never know how things go in tennis. If the opponent will be Nadia, Tati will have the chance to take revenge of the Stuttgart final; good luck Tati and congratulations for the great match!

I'm gonna start immediately uploading the match but I guess it will take a little cause it lasted more than 2 hours!:)

Tati is in the semis!
6th April 2007
Tati has played a really strong match and she has beaten Venus Williams 6-4 6-3. Venus made a lot of unforced errors but Tati was really good to remain focused and win the first set and take advantage of four games in the second; then Venus started to play better and Tati made some unforced errors and Venus was able to break Tati back two times to go 3-4. At that point Tati played two amazing game and won 6-3!Now she's gonna face Ana Ivanovic and this make me a little bit nervous cause Tati always lost against her (5 times) playing a terrible tennis. Now Tati is playing really good on this surface and I hope tomorrow will beat Ivanovic for the first time in her career, good luck Tati!
I'm uploading the match right now, so stay tuned for updates!Regarding the third episode of "Tatiana's World" I hate Eurosport cause they anticipated it before the match and I was only able to catch the last five minutes; I'm gonna upload the part that I have in any case and on Monday when they will re-show it I will upload the entire episode!
