Tati's gonna play tomorrow
30th September 2007
Tati's gonna play tomorrow her first round match against Martina Muller; her encounter is scheduled to be the third and last one on Center Court (play starts at 2:00 pm), good luck Tati!
Stuttgart draw released
30th September 2007
Stuttgart draw has just been released and I have to say that it's not so bad considering the list of players. In the first round Tati will play Martina Muller from Germany. Tati has never played her before but it should be a pretty easy first round. If she will pass the first test, she will immediately find the number four seed Anna Chakvetadze; I remember that Tati should try to play her best since she's defending last year final. If you wanna take a look at the entire draw click here, good luck Tati!
Tati just can't play Ivanovic
28th September 2007
Tati played another horrible match against Ana Ivanovic and she lost 6-1 6-2; when Tati plays like this she's disarming, I don't know what can I say. Ivanovic seemed too strong while Tati made a lot of unforced errors.
Tati's next tournament will be Stuttgart starting on Monday; now I'm gonna start uploading the match with Ivanovic (it's from 5-1 in the 1st set cause Eurosport was again showing "Eurogoals"), please come back later for the update!:)

Tati is in the quarters!
27th September 2007
Tati has beaten Francesca Schiavone 6-3 6-1 to reach Luxembourg quarter finals!Tati played such an aggressive and solid match!This is the game I would love her to play always :) Now tomorrow (not before 6:30 pm local time) she will have to face Ana Ivanovic, the number two seed. Tati played Ana six times before and she won only the last meeting this year in Amelia Island. It's definetely gonna be hard cause Ana has improved a lot but Tati probably has more confidence right now since Ana isn't playing since the Us Open. Good luck Tati!

Tati will play tomorrow
26th September 2007
Tati's gonna play tomorrow her 2nd round match against Francesca Schiavone not before 5:00 pm local time on Centre Court. It's a good news cause it means that it will showed by Eurosport and I will upload it :)
Tati is in the 2nd round!
26th September 2007
Tati has beaten Sorana Cirstea 6-3 6-1 and she reached the 2nd round at the Fortis Champioships where she will have to face Francesca Schiavone. Previous meetings are tied at 2-2 and we all remember the ones they played this year: firstly Francesca won the Fed Cup encountere when Tati had almost won the match and then Tati destroyed her in Toronto 6-2 6-0. I don't know what can we expect, probably Tati is slighly the favourite but it will definitely be a close match, good luck Tati!
Tati is gonna play tomorrow
25th September 2007
Tati is gonna play tomorrow at 1:00 pm local time on Center Court her first round match against Sorana Cirstea at the Fortis Championships in Luxembourg. Tati will be pretty busy cause tomorrow is scheduled to be played also her doubles match with Nathalie Dechy not before 3:00 pm on Court number 1, good luck Tati!
Tati has gained the 2nd title of her career!
23rd September 2007
Tati has just beaten Katarina Srebotnik 2-6 6-4 6-4 to gain the second title of the year and of her young career. It has been a long match: Tati suffered Katarina's solid and aggressive game but she was able to come back and play her tennis!In the third set Tati had a lot of chances to close fastly (she was up 3-0 and 0-40, she served for the match) but then she closed only on Katarinas's serve when she was leading 5-4. Maybe Tati didn't play her best tennis but I think that she demonstrates a good concentration, particularly on coming back one set and one break down.
For this win Tati will gain 115 points but I think that her position in the ranking should remain the same. Next week Tati will be in Luxembourg to play the Fortis Championships. She will probably play her 1st round match on tuesday since she won this tournament, congratulations for your win and good luck for the next week Tati!
Later I will try to upload the match if I will find a way to put together all the little flv videos captured from the live stream ;)
Order of Play + Luxembourg draw
22nd September 2007
The Portoroz final is set to be played tomorrow at 4:00 pm (local time).
In the meantime Fortis Championships draw has been released and I have to say that it's not a lucky one. Tati, who is the 8th seed, will play Sorana Cirstea, a qualifier, in the first round. Then she will find the winner of the match between Nathalie Dechy and Francesca Schiavone. The first seed she can meet is Ana Ivanovic in the quarters...good luck Tati, you really need it!
You can take a look at the complete draw by clicking here.
Tati is in the final!
22nd September 2007
Tati has just beaten Vera Dushevina 7-6(5) 6-2 in order to reach the final in Portoroz. This is such a great achievement for Tati self confidence!
Tomorrow she will play Katarina Srebotnik: Tati has play her twice before and the previous meetings are tied at 1-1. Back in 2003 in Miami Srebotnik beat Tati 6-1 2-6 6-4, but this year in Antwerp Tati won 6-0 6-2. Apart from these results I think that it's gonna be a very close match, hope Tati will win the 2nd wta title of her career!Good luck Tati!
L'Equipe Feminine Scans + Order of Play
22nd September 2007
Ok first the "technical" update: Tati is gonna play today the second match on the centre court around 6:00 pm local time :)

Tati is in the semis!
21st September 2007
Tati has beaten Meilen Tu 6-3 6-2 to reach Portoroz semifinals. Nothing to say cause the match wasn't broadcasted by any tv but I've noticed that Tati has been really solid in these two latest encounters, hope this will continue till the end of the season :)
The semi will be against Vera Dushevina who has beaten today the other Vera, Zvonareva. Also in this case Tati has never played her before but I think that Vera it's not an impossible player to beat, not for Tati. Tomorrow's order of play is still unknown but we will know it very soon, stay tuned to know it :)
Tati is gonna play tomorrow
20th September 2007

Tati is in the 2nd round in Portoroz
17th September 2007
Well it has been definetely a strange match; Tati won it 6-1 1-6 6-1 and I'm guessing that probably in the second set she didn't play :) Now in the second she will face the winner of the match between Knapp and Voracova; this happens because Bondarenko withdrew so there's has been some changes in the draw...well done and good luck Tati!

Portoroz Draw
15th September 2007
Portoroz draw has just been released and in the first round the first seed Tati will play Lilia Osterloh. Tati has played with her once before in 2005 at the French Open and she easily won 6-0 6-2. I think that this should be a pretty easy first round :) then in the second Tati will find the winner of the match between Tu and Knapp. The first seed Tati can meet is Vera Zvonareva in the quarters, definitely a pretty good draw!:)

Today Eurosport aired a full "Tatiana's World" episode at the US Open. Since the first part was previously aired last week every day, I've cutted the final part of the episode (that is to say the new part) and you can download it here :)
New Commitment for Tati
5th September 2007
So it seems that Tati will play another tournament before the Fortis Championships: it's the Banka Koper Slovenia Open, a Tier IV event starting on September 17. I guess Tati want to play more matches as she can since her early exit at the US Open :)
Tati is totally out of the US Open
1st September 2007
In a day that all will remember for that day in which Sharapova lost, our Tati is totally out of the tournament since she lost her mixed doubles match with Bob Bryan 7-6(4) 3-6 10-2 to Mirza-Bhupathi. I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed firstly cause now Tati won't play for a couple of weeks and secondly cause I was expecting a lot from this couple :) Anyway if we take a look at Tati's schedule her next tournament should be Fortis Championships starting on September 24th (two days before my birthday ;) ).
We won't remain without Tati too long cause next Saturday on Eurosport at 8:30 a.m.(GMT + 1) there will be a brand new episode of Tatiana's World, and in any case stay tuned for the latest news and pictures :)
