Tati will face Frazier
31st July 2006
In the first round of the Acura Classic tournament Tati will face Amy Frazier from United States. Tati has played with her once before last year in Charleston and she won 6-3 6-3. I think that if Tati will play like last week in Stanford she will reach pretty easily the first round. The only thing is that she needs to stay focused cause Frazier is a very smart player. In the meantime it's been released also doubles draw and I saw that Tati is in it with Marta Domachowska; in the first round they will play against Bartoli/Peer. Go Tati!

Tati has lost to Schnyder
30th July 2006
In her first Stanford semifinal Tati has lost to Patty Schnyder 7-6(4) 6-1. Tati has played a great first set and she was 3-0 in the tie-break but then, after losing the first partial, she lost the second very quickly for 6-1. She seems really tired. She definitely needs to keep working and improving. Now her first next tournament will be San Diego starting tomorrow. Draw has already been released and in the first round she will play against a qualifier. This is a very tough tournament cause all the best will be there, also Sharapova and Hingis, go Tati!Here's the match against Schnyder in VCD quality:

Tati is in the semi!
28th July 2006
Tati has played another terrific match and she has beaten Ana-Lena Groenefeld (the fourth seed!) 6-4 7-6(5) in order to reach the semis of the Stanford tournament. This is Tati first big result after her injury in Miami. Tomorrow she's gonna face the winner of the match between Patty Schnyder and Jill Craybas. Tati has played once before with both players: at Gold Coast in 2005 she lost from Patty and in 2004 in Rome she defeated Craybas. I think that Patty is the favourite of this match so another tough match is waiting for Tati. This is a great opportunity cause Tati has a real chance to reach the final!Tomorrow I will have the chance to watch the match live on TV cause Eurosport will broadcast both semis(of course I'm gonna upload the match)!Go Tati!*Later I'm gonna upload tonight's match ripped from the web :)

Tati will play today
26th July 2006
Tati will play this afternoon (this evening for us in Europe ;) ) her second round match against Ai Sugiyama. I think it's gonna to be a very tough one even if Tati has won the three previous encounters (the last one was last year in Tokyo, Tati won 3-6 6-2 6-2) cause Ai is a very focused and regular player. Anyway if Tati is gonna play her best tennis there's no reason she cannot win the match!Go Tati!
Site Update: I've added the first Stanford pictures, you can checkout them here (huge thanks to "Mailin" from www.nicole-vaidisova.org) and I've also uploaded a video of Tati singing "Barbie Girl" at this year Roland Garros (Most of all I've already seen it on youtube but now you have the chance to have it in your pc by downloading it here).

Tati passes first round
25th July 2006
Tati has passed the first round by beating Alona Bondarenko 7-5 6-2. Tati was losing 1-4 in the first set but from that point basically she dominated the match. Now she will have to face the winner of the match between Sugiyama and Peschke, both players are very difficult to play so it's gonna be a very tough second round. Now I'm going to sleep but tomorrow I will upload the match that I ripped from a web streaming!
Tati vs Bondarenko - 1st Set - from 1-4
Tati vs Bondarenko - 2nd Set
Tati vs Bondarenko - 2nd Set - from 4-1

Stanford draw released
22nd July 2006
Stanford draw has just been released and Tati, who is unseeded, in the first round will play against Alona Bondarenko from Ukraina. They play against each other once before last year in the first round of Wimbledon and Tati lost 6-3 3-6 7-5. Hope this time will be a completely different story!If she will win she will find the winner of the match between Kveta Peschke and Ai Sugiyama so definetely not a good draw for tati! Anyway do your best Tati!
Here you can view the complete draw.

Definetely a bad day for Tati
19th July 2006
It has been definetely a bad day for Tati cause she lost to Vera Zvonareva 6-3 6-0 in the first round of the Cincinnati tournament. I didn't had the chance to view the match but I think it was impossible for Tati playing normally to lose 6-3 6-0 from a player like Zvonareva. I don't wanna say she plays bad but she came from a bad moment and she is very emotionally fragile. I guess that Tati was just tired for the FedCup week-end. Now we're gonna see her in action next week in Stanford, go Tati!
