Sesil Karatantcheva living the dream.

Let's hope she 's not at it again !
Karatantcheva handed two-year ban Sesil Karatantcheva in action in Paris Karatantcheva reached the quarter-finals at the French Open Sesil Karatantcheva has been banned for two years after being found guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs. The 16-year-old Bulgarian tested positive for the steroid nandrolone at the 2005 French Open and out of competition in Tokyo last July. An independent tribunal rejected her explanation that she had been pregnant when the test was performed. The ruling means Karatantcheva loses the £76,000 prize money and ranking points she earned at Roland Garros. She will also forfeit all world ranking points and prize money from all competitions subsequent to the Paris Grand Slam. The 16-year-old rose to prominence after knocking out Venus Williams in the third round of this year's French Open. She lost to Russia's Elena Likhovtseva in the quarter-finals and tested positive after that match. Karatantcheva, who is ranked as world number 41, has three weeks to appeal to the International Tennis Federation against her ban. |

Textbook pluck.

Quite astonishingly, Kartal never even had a match point as someone who led 6-2,5-1.

She is probably asking herself " how am I not champion today " in the same way Dortmund might say " how are we kings of the season " in the very near future !

Putintseva same odds as prematch after winning the 1st 6-1. Can't say I disagree with this because opponent better than expected, but still ...

there's something very Roger Federer about the opponent.
|
|
By:
0/8 on break points.
|

By:
also something very Andy Murray about her. Loves to throw up lobs/moonballs hoping for the other player to miss.

MTO, strapping on ankle I believe for Kenin.
