Ysidora Tobing cruises into quarterfinal
Indonesian number one, Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing advanced into quarterfinal of an ITF Grade 1 tournament known as "21st Mitsubishi-Lancer International Juniors Championships" in Manila, Philippines today (Thursday - March 25, 2010). In round 16 Ysidora Tobing cruised past 16 years old Russian Ksenia Gospodinova 6-1, 6-4.
As fourth seed here in this tourney, Ysidora Tobing earned first round bye and yesterday she claimed a victory over Japanese Miyu Kato 6-4, 6-3 in second round or round 32. In the first place, Ysidora Tobing was scheduled to play not before 2 pm local time, but then she eventually played her match at 6.30 pm local time.
Second round was filled with surprises as some seeded players were falling. The first shock was the exit of fifth seed Emi Mutaguchi from Japan as she bowed out to China's Tian Ran 6-4, 4-6, 1-6.

Ysidora Tobing repeated 2009's end result
Number one Indonesian junior player, Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing emulated her last year participation at an ITF Grade 1 tourney known as "15th Sarawak Chief Minister's Cup - ITF World Junior Tennis Championships 2010" in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia last Friday (March 19, 2010). Placed as 5th seed, Ysidora Tobing, suffered back to back defeat to second seed Tamara Curovic of Serbia in quarterfinal but in slightly different style as Ysidora Tobing pushed her opponent all the way but she still lost 4-6, 6-4, 5-7.
In previous week at Nonthaburi Grade 1 in Thailand, Ysidora Tobing was beaten by Curovic in semi-final. So, their head to head is in favor of Curovic as she leads 2-1 now.
En route to the last eight round, Ysidora Tobing received bye in the first round, then she had to work hard in earning victory over China's Liu Min 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 in second round (round 32). In third round Ysidora Tobing cruised past ninth seed Polina Pekhova from Belarus 6-2, 6-4.
Winner of this tourney was Chinese sensation, 16 years old Tang Hao Chen who was fourth seed here in Kuching. Tang, a surprise semi-finalist at Aussie Open last January, had to work extra harder to beat seventh seed Caroline Garcia of France 3-6, 7-6(0), 6-3. It was Tang's first Grade 1 title ever. Due to this outcome, as per today (March 22, 2010) Tang reaches her highest ever rank at ITF 15 and she kicks Zheng Saisai from her top position as China's numero uno.
Meanwhile, number two Indonesian junior player, Bella Destriana crashed out in the opening round both singles and doubles.
In doubles, Ysidora Tobing partnered with Japanese Emi Mutaguchi again and same as in Thailand, they were second seed. This time, duo Mutaguchi/Ysidora Tobing finished in quarterfinal.

Ysidora Tobing was semi-finalist again
Indonesian number one junior player Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing ran out of gas in the semi-final of "ITF/LTAT Junior Championships" an ITF Grade 1 tournament which just ended on Saturday (March 13, 2010) in Nonthaburi, Thailand. In the last four round, Ysidora Tobing bowed out to Serb second seed Tamara Curovic 2-6, 1-6 last Friday. Ysidora Tobing admitted that she got so worn out after playing 3 hour thriller in quarterfinal on Thursday.
In semi-final Ysidora Tobing simply had lack of energy to hit normally and she made many unforced errors either hitting wide or into the net. It was indeed a sweet revenge for 15 years old Curovic as in her first meeting against Ysidora Tobing, she lost 5-7, 6-7(6) in the opening round of grand slam Aussie Open this past January.
Nonetheless, Ysidora Tobing had surpassed her personal target of reaching quarterfinal since she was being realistic on her situation. In the last month, Ysidora Tobing was focused more on her recovery of her abdominal injury which she got it at Traralgon Grade 1 in Australia last January. Last year at the same tourney here in Nonthaburi, Ysidora Tobing was beaten by top seed Timea Babos of Hungary in semi-final.
En route to semi-final, Ysidora Tobing had bye in the opening round (draw 48) as she was fourth seed here. In second round, the Indonesian counter puncher survived the scare and managed to win over China's Zhu Lin 2-6, 7-6(5), 6-4. In round 16 Ysidora Tobing battled past tall and lefty 15th seed Briar Preston of New Zealand 7-6(8), 6-2. Then in the last eight round, Ysidora Tobing had to fight very hard against her doubles partner, fifth seed Emi Mutaguchi from Japan. The Indonesian fought back to beat California born Mutaguchi 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 in 3 hours.
In doubles with Mutaguchi, Ysidora Tobing placed as second seed. Duet Mutaguchi/Ysidora Tobing finished as semi-finalists as they were ousted by seventh seed pair, Luksika Kumkhum/Kyra Shroff (Thailand/India) 4-6, 2-6. Last year here in Nonthaburi, Ysidora Tobing partnered with local Natchanok Saenyaukhot and they ended in semi-final.
Winner of this tourney was lefty Russian top seed Irina Khromacheva who edged past second seed Curovic 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 on Saturday. So, it is now 14 years old Khromacheva's third title in Grade 1 tourney after Lexington, Kentucky last year and Prerov, Czech Republic last January. While Curovic became runner-up for second time in Grade 1 tourney after Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia last year.
In the meantime, local players did not make good outcome at all. Only seventh seed Kumkhum was able to finish in round 16.

Ravita secured her best result
Nadia Ravita, 15 years old, daughter of former players Hawin Sutopo and Luky Tedjamukti had to delay her maiden title in ITF Junior Circuit as she bowed out to 17 years old Canadian and fifth seed Juliana Gajic 2-6, 4-6 in the final of an ITF Grade 5 tournament known as “Guatemala ITF Junior 2010” last Saturday (March 6, 2010) in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Nevertheless it was Ravita's best outcome of her junior career as she became runner-up in an ITF Grade 5 tourney.
Appearing in her first final ever, Ravita was very nervous and she could not play her best along the match. Ravita has been almost 2 years practicing at International Tennis Academy, Delray Beach, Florida, and she is now trailing 0-2 against Gajic who was once ranked as high as ITF 254 as at March 9, 2009. With this result Gajic improved her ranking from ITF 448 as per March 1, 2010 to ITF 360 as at March 8, 2010. In the first meeting, Ravita lost to Gajic 1-6, 3-6 in second round at an ITF Grade 4 tourney called “International Junior Open Club Casablanca Mexico City 2009” which was held in Mexico City, Mexico. As runner-up in Guatemala City, Ravita reached her best rank ever at ITF 493 as per March 8, 2010.
Ravita's participation here in Guatemala City was her second tournament in this season. Prior Guatemala City, Ravita played at “El Salvador Junior Open 2010” an ITF Grade 4 tourney which was held in La Libertad, El Salvador and she exited immediately in the opening round after she lost to Latvian, Laura Gulbe 2-6, 5-7.
Then Ravita continued on to play at "Costa Rica Bowl" an ITF Grade 3 tourney which is being held in San Jose, Costa Rica this week. Playing with waist problem, Ravita crashed out instantly in the first round as she lost to American qualifier Gabrielle Desimone 1-6, 2-6.
During her tour to Central America, Ravita was accompanied by Wang I-Ting, one of the coaches at International Tennis Academy. Wang is former pro player and she is now 28 years old. Wang's highest rank was at WTA 438 in November 2000.

Syarifah made another breakthrough
Among four Indonesian girls who participated in the final tourney at "Bangladesh International Junior Championships 2010" in Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 1st to March 6th, 2010 Nadya Syarifah sealed the best result.
In this ITF Grade 3 tournament, Syarifah was placed as 12th seed and she made it all the way to quarterfinal when she eventually bowed out to China's Ou Xuanshuo 1-6, 6-2, 2-6. It was truly an achievement for Syarifah as she became quarter-finalist for the very first time in ITF Grade 3 tourney. In round 64, Syarifah received bye then in second round she dispatched Indian Natalla Khaniejo 6-1, 6-3. Syarifah had to fight hard to reach the last eight round after she battled past Indian Adnya Naik 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in round 16. With good outcome being semi-finalist at an ITF Grade 4 tourney before at "BKSP International Junior Championships" in Dhaka also, this week (as at March 8, 2010) Syarifah reached her highest rank ever at ITF 311.
Three other girls were sixth seed Bella Destriana, 16th seed Cynthia Melita and unseeded Efriliya Herlina and they posted different results. Destriana and Melita both crashed out in second round. Destriana lost to Chuen Chu-Chen from Chinese Taipei 2-6, 7-6(6), 3-6, while Melita was defeated by the eventual champion Sabina Sharipova of Uzbekistan 5-7, 2-6. In the meantime Herlina ended her journey with no rank point at all as she fell in the opening round. Herlina was beaten by Indian Vaniya Dangwal 2-6, 2-6.
In doubles, fourth seed pair Destriana/Melita and unseeded duo Herlina/Syarifah concluded their particiaption in quarterfinals. Due to Melita's illness, Destriana and her handed walk over victory to sixth seed pair Huynh Phuong Dai Trang/Sanae Ota (Vietnam/Japan), while Herlina/Syarifah bowed out to seventh seed duet Sharipova/Anna Tyulpa (Uzbekistan/Russia) 1-6, 0-6.
It was interesting to find out that China's number one Zheng Saisai asked for wild card since she did not enter this tourney at all. Zheng was placed as top seed and she reached until semi-final when she gave walk over towards her counterpart, Ou. Apparently since Zheng also did not enter "ITF/LTAT Junior Championships Thailand 2010", so she had no choice but to play qualifying round. In order to catch a flight to Bangkok, Zheng decided not to play semi-final match.
As for Sharipova, she claimed back to back titles in 2 weeks after Rajshahi. So, now she has got 2 titles from an ITF Grade 3 tournament.

Melita and Syarifah cruise into round 16
Only two of three Indonesian girls continued their action at an ITF Grade 3 tourney called "Rajshahi International Junior Championships 2010" in Rajshahi, Bangladesh on Tuesday (February 23, 2010). In second round or round 32, unseeded Cynthia Melita and 12th seed Nadya Syarifah claimed their victory, while fifth seed Bella Destriana stumbled.
Hard hitter Melita, since she is non-seeded player, it is safe to say that she surprised ninth seed Sharon Sanchana Paul of India with 6-1, 6-0 victory. In third round or round 16, Melita will face seventh seed Amy Askew from Great Britain who also sealed an easy win over wild card Mandy Wagemaker from the Netherlands 6-0, 6-1.
Also reaching round 16 was 12th seed Syarifah as she dispatched Briton qualifier Roisin Mullins 6-3, 6-0. In third round Syarifah will challenge Russian sixth seed Anna Tyulpa who had to work hard to claim a victory over Chuen Chiu-Chen of Chinese Taipei 3-6, 6-2, 7-5.
Fifth seed Destriana suffered a loss after she was shocked and bowed out to Indian Ratnika Batra 2-6, 2-6. Batra, 15 years old, is currently ranked at ITF 517.
Winner of last week's Dhaka Grade 4 tourney, 15th seed Deng Meng Ning from China, also fell in second round as she was beaten by 15 years old Shabina Sharipova 5-7, 2-6. Sharipova is now ranked at ITF 521 and she has been playing pro tour more than junior circuit. Currently Sharipova is ranked at WTA 409.
In the opening round as seeded players, Destriana and Syarifah received bye. Meanwhile Melita and Efriliya Herlina had to play from first round. Without any difficulty, Melita booted out local wild card Sharda Sharmin Alam 6-0, 6-0. In contrast, Herlina still struggled to demonstrate her utmost capacity as she lost to Croat Donna Vekic 3-6, 2-6. After playing two tourneys in Bangladesh, Herlina is still unable to gain rank points.

Syarifah runs out of gas in the end
Hoping to exceed her career's best outcome, Indonesian fifth seed Nadya Syarifah showed her fighting attitude but in the end she just got worn out as she eventually lost to seventh seed Deng Meng Ning from China in the semi-final of "BKSP International Junior Championships 2010" in Dhaka, Bangladesh today.
Playing in her first ever Grade 4 semi-final, Syarifah failed to maintain her winning momentum in the opening set and despite her determination to fight all the way, she simply could not prevail. Syarifah bowed out to China's Deng 6-4, 6-7(8), 0-6. Deng is 16 years old and as per this week she is ranked at ITF 473 and is playing only her 7th tournament here ever since she began her junior career as of September 2008. Here in Dhaka is her first ever tourney outside China and last year in only her 2nd tourney, as a qualifier she became semi-finalist at ITF Grade 3 tournament in Xiamen, China. And only last month, Deng finished as runner-up at ITF Grade 5 tourney in Guangzhou, China.
In the other last four round, two Chinese players had to battle each other. It was indeed a different kind of duel, Yin Xianghong posted a relatively easy victory over Ou Xuanshuo 6-2, 6-1. Also 16 years old, Yin is only ranked at ITF 1655 right now. She started her junior career at "Thamrin Cup International Junior Championships 2008" in Jakarta. Back then she had to go through qualifying round and in the main draw immediately she lost to Indonesian top seed Grace Sari Ysidora in the opening round. Today's result is truly Yin's biggest achievement of her career.
In doubles, top seed pair Bella Destriana/Cynthia Melita also crashed out in semi-final today. The Indonesian duet bowed out to seventh seed pair of China, Deng/Ou 0-6, 3-6. In final, the Chinese duet then will face unseeded pair, Bhuvana Kalva/Mandy Wagemaker (India/Netherlands) who barely won over second seed duo Sowjanya Bavisetti/Tsao Fang-Chi (India/Chinese Taipei) 7-5, 7-6(4).

Syarifah romps into her first ever semi-final, while Destriana bows out
Good result was capitalized by Indonesian fifth seed Nadya Syarifah as she reached Grade 4 semi-final for the very first time at "BKSP International Junior Championships" in Dhaka, Bangladesh on Thursday (February 18, 2010). Syarifah hails from Cianjur, West Java - she cruised past Indian 15th seed Bhuvana Kalva (currently ranked at ITF 675) 6-3, 6-0.
Chinese players will dominate the last four round after their three players all through and one of them, Ou Xuanshuo, shocked Indonesian top seed Bella Destriana by winning 7-5, 6-2. Along her junior career, Destriana had made semi-finals of Grade 4 twice and those were in Solo 2008 and Perak, Malaysia 2009. Meanwhile 16 years old Ou just earned her ITF ranking recently based on her outcome as quarterfinalist twice at Grade 5 tourneys in her country last January. This week Ou is ranked at ITF 1035.
Ou began her junior career by coming to her first ever participation abroad in Jakarta, Indonesia and she chose "Thamrin Cup International Junior Championships 2008" which was known as quite popular Grade 4 tourney in South East Asia. Ou had to go through qualifying round and eventually she finished as quarterfinalist as she was beaten by local Cynthia Melita. Afterwards Ou continued on to play "ITF Oneject International Junior Championships 2008" - another Grade 4 tourney in Bandung, West Java where she lost in second round of qualifying.
Two more Chinese players also booked their place in semi-finals. Seventh seed Deng Meng Ning surprised Briton wild card and 2nd seed Amy Askew as she was able to fight back and won 1-6, 7-5, 6-3. While Yin Xianghong also sealed a victory over 14th seed Donna Vekic from Croatia 6-1, 6-4.
In doubles, top seed pair Destriana/Melita also cruised into semi-final. In second round or round 16, Destriana/Melita barely edged past Dutch pair, Nikki Luttikhuis/Maurien Rikkert 7-6(3), 6-4. Then in quarterfinal, the Indonesian duet defeated sixth seed pair Chuen Chu-Chen/Katherine IP (China Taipei/Hong Kong) 6-3, 6-1. In the last four round, Destriana/Melita will face China's seventh seed pair, Deng/Ou.

Ysidora still goes up to reach new career high
WTA rank for Indonesian players as at February 15, 2010
Singles
1. 297 (296) Ayu Fani Damayanti - 145 points, 13 tourneys
2. 404 (408) Lavinia Tananta - 85 points, 11 tourneys
3. 456 (456) Jessy Rompies - 72 points, 15 tourneys
4. 615 (616) Sandy Gumulya - 40 points, 8 tourneys
5. 665 (664) Romana Tedjakusuma - 33 points, 7 tourneys
6. 754 (757) Grace Sari Ysidora - 22 points, 3 tourneys
7. 887 (890) Beatrice Gumulya - 13 points, 7 tourneys
The only junior player with pro ranking, Grace Sari Ysidora, despite her priority on junior circuit, she is still able to clinch her highest rank ever at WTA 754. Meanwhile on top of the list, Ayu Fani Damayanti is slightly lower at WTA 297 along with veteran Romana Tedjakusuma slips at WTA 665. The others such as Lavinia Tananta and the Gumulyas are slightly improving their ranks respectively. Then Jessy Rompies remains at the same ranking as last week.
Doubles
1. 142 (159) Yayuk Basuki - 489 points, 12 tourneys
2. 270 (272) Romana Tedjakusuma - 208 points, 9 tourneys
3. 307 (306) Lavinia Tananta - 171 points, 13 tourneys

8. 814 (816) Laili Rahmawati Ulfa - 21 points, 3 tourneys
Only former queen Yayuk Basuki is worth to be noted since she was the only player competing on the tour last week. Basuki was supposed to partner with Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm at "PTT Pattaya Open" last week. But unfortunately Date-Krumm twisted her ankle, so then Basuki had to find a new one and eventually she got younger Japanese Yurika Sema. This new duo Basuki/Sema lost in the quarterfinal to the eventual champs, Marina Erakovic/Tamarine Tanasugarn. So, with such outcome, Basuki gained new points and it was good enough to improve her rank at WTA 142.

Ysidora Tobing fails to reach quarterfinal
The one and only Indonesian player in the main draw of “Australian Open Junior Championships”, Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing had to end her journey in round 16 or third round on Wednesday, January 27, 2010. In her first ever participation at a major in Melbourne, Ysidora Tobing made an impressive attack by winning the opening set but then in the end she had to bow out to third seed Daria Gavrilova of Russia 6-2, 2-6, 3-6.
A day before on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 – number one junior player of Indonesia in a relatively easy outing, Ysidora Tobing breezed past 17 years old Canadian qualifier Marianne Jodoin 6-3, 6-0 in second round. In the opening set Ysidora Tobing quickly cruised to lead 4-0 and as Jodoin was able to hold her serve, she got on the board 1-4. Games accumulation became 4-2, 5-2, 5-3 and after Ysidora Tobing broke her opponent’s serve again, she ensured her first set’s win 6-3.
With no merci and it was interestingly such fast yet aggressive act by 16 years old Indonesian, Ysidora Tobing closed it out 6-0 in second set. Both players spent 65 minutes on the court and there were only 7 deuces along the match. In terms of first serve percentage, Ysidora Tobing sealed 76% while Jodoin 68%. For double faults the Indonesian player served twice, and her Canadian opponent had three.
In third round on Wednesday, Ysidora Tobing was promising in the opening set as she was able to apply her strategy well. She was in control of the battle and took the first set 6-2. Then Gavrilova, runner-up of French Open 2009 and semi-finalist at US Open 2009, bounced back with her smart move in mixing her game and did not let her Indonesian opponent to attack with her explosive shots anymore. Gavrilova rallied to lead 3-1, 3-2 and eventually she forced the Indonesian to have rubber set after she won 6-2.
In final set, Ysidora Tobing actually had a temporary lead 3-2 and since then Gavrilova regained her control to close it out 6-3. In the two previous meetings, Gavrilova won both duels against Ysidora Tobing. In second round of US Open 2009 the Indonesian prodigy lost 1-6, 6-7(3), followed with another defeat in World Group of Junior Fed Cup 2009 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico where Ysidora Tobing bowed out 2-6, 6-7(3).
With this outcome Ysidora Tobing just emulated what former world junior number 2 Angelique Widjaja did. In her first ever performance in Aussie Open 2001, Widjaja had to end her participation in third round. Last year also in Aussie Open, another Indonesian Beatrice Gumulya then already 18 years old also reached third round but she made it in her second year participation. The best result for Indonesians is still owned by former junior world ranked ITF 21 Wynne Prakusya who finished as runner-up at Melbourne Park in 1998 when she was ousted by lefty Croat Jelena Kostanic.
In doubles, duo Ysidora Tobing and her partner Kanyapat Narattana of Thailand posted a victory in the first round as they fought back to beat local wild card pair Molly Polak/Belinda Woolcock 2-6, 6-0,(11-9). In super tie-break, duo Indonesia and Thai rallied from 2-7, 4-9 all the way to win 11-9. In round 16 Ysidora Tobing/Narattana got defeated by third seed pair Tamara Curovic/Sachie Ishizu (Serbia/Japan) 3-6, 2-6.

Ysidora Tobing surprises 13th seed Curovic
The only Indonesian player at Australian Open Junior Championships, Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing passed the very first test in round 64 as she battled past 13th seed Tamara Curovic of Serbia 7-5, 7-6(6) on Sunday evening (January 24, 2010). These two players were scheduled to play at court 5 but then they had to move to court 18 since the boys' match went into rubber set at the first designated court. Along the match both Ysidora Tobing and Curovic fought in a close duel but in the end Ysidora Tobing could overcome nerves and showed better mental toughness to seal a victory in her maiden performance at Melbourne Park.
Coming to the court with protection on her stomach area, Ysidora Tobing started the opening set by breaking Curovic's serve after she went through 4 deuces. In second game, Curovic broke back immediately then they went on 2-2. Curovic continued on to lead 4-2, 5-3 as she was able to break her opponent's serve twice. Refuse to giving-up, Ysidora Tobing attacked easily to break back her tall Serb opponent and forced it to 5-5. With high confidence the Indonesian player posted a love game to take 7-5 in the first set.
With good penetration and strong attacking game, Ysidora Tobing cruised quickly to lead 5-1. Then she began to let Curovic to find her own game back and Ysidora Tobing simply just retrieved the balls as if she went on a picnic. As its consequence, Curovic earned 4 games in a row without challenge from her opponent. Then Curovic had a lead 6-5, but Ysidora Tobing fought back to level it up 6-6 with another love game. Tie-break was unavoidable then in which both players were in such topsy turvy drama.
Ysidora Tobing took temporarily lead 2-1, then Curovic took over 3-2. The Indonesian player looked solid as she went up 5-3, but the Serb fought on to tie it 5-5. Even Curovic made it 6-5 to earn a set point. This time the Indonesian player did not want to make the same costly mistake and she showed her determination to close it out 8-6. In terms of match statistics, each of both players made an ace, while Curovic served 7 double faults, as Ysidora Tobing had only 2. In terms of first serve percentage, Ysidora Tobing posted 68%, while Curovic had 57%.

Ysidora Tobing exits in round 16
Number one Indonesian junior player Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing could not play effectively on Sunday (January 17, 2010) as she got abdominal muscle strain after she played 3 hour battle yesterday. In round 16, she did everything she could but with such problem on her stomach she had limitation to serve well. She did mix her game with slices and high-bounced top spins to distract her opponent's agressive attack from the baseline but in the end she had to lose 3-6, 2-6 to sixth seed Sachie Ishizu in their first ever meeting. 17 years old Ishizu became the only Asian left in the competition at "Loy Yang Traralgon International" as 13th seed Zheng Saisai of China also bowed out to Canadian third seed and winner of "Dunlop Orange Bowl 2009" Gabriela Dabrowski. Ishizu was still fresh from winning a Grade A title at "32nd International Casablanca Junior Cup" in Mexico on January 3, 2010 and she moved up her ranking from ITF 32 to currently at ITF 7.
Meanwhile Ysidora Tobing took the advice from the doctor that she must take a few days of good rest as way to be fully recovered on time for Aussie Open on January 24th. Therefore as she got an approval from her doubles partner, Kanyapat Narattana, they gave walk over to fourth seed pair Tamara Curovic/Sachie Ishizu (Serbia/Japan).

Ysidora Tobing survives a thriller
"Ichiban" Indonesian junior player Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing posted her second win of the season after she escaped three sets thriller against almost 6 foot tall Kristyna Pliskova from the Czech Republic in second round (round 32) at "Loy Yang Traralgon Intenational" tournament on Saturday (January 16, 2010). After the two players spent 3 hours in such hot condition, Ysidora Tobing came back to defeat lefty Pliskova 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Pliskova was such a patient player, with less power in hitting the ball and hardly made unforced error. Meanwhile Ysidora Tobing did not seem in her best physical condition as she had lack of power especially in her serve. But today Ysidora Tobing improved her 1st serve percentage compare to yesterday. In the opening set, the Indonesian girl trailed 1-4 immediately as she could not apply her own strategy and became an error prone.
From then on, Ysidora Tobing woke-up and she became thirsty to earn point as she was very persistent in applying her attacking game. She bombarded Pliskova with her flat strokes just barely crossing over the net yet with good depth into the baseline. Being a tall girl, Pliskova had difficulty in returning her opponent's shots and Ysidora gradually accumulated game by game till she made it 4-4.
In second set, again Ysidora Tobing quickly trailed 0-2 but she changed her tactic by making variety of shots which forced Pliskova to run around here and there. It paid-off as Ysidora Tobing collected 5 games in a row and she took temporary lead 5-2. Then as the Indonesian girl lost her focus, Pliskova resumed to reap 2 more games till Ysidora Tobing fought back to take 6-4.
In final set, the Indonesian player was consistent in controlling the game and both players began to be worn out. A close contest was obvious by looking at the following: 0-1, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 2-3, 3-3, 3-4, 4-4, 5-4, 6-4 as Ysidora fought till the very end to come out as the winner.
In round 16, another tough battle for Ysidora Tobing as she will face Japanese 6th seed Sachie Ishizu, winner of Casablanca Cup Grade A in early January 2010. Ishizu did not get sweat at all to beat local wild card Sophie Letcher 6-0, 6-1.
In doubles, Ysidora Tobing partnering with Thai Kanyapat Narattana for the second time. In their first time outing as a pair last April, they became runners-up at "Asian Closed Junior Championships" an ITF Grade B1 tourney held in Indore, India. This time in first round (round 32) duo Indonesia and Thailand cruised past Vivien Juhaszova/Elina Svitolina (Slovakia/Ukraine) 6-2, 6-4. In round 16, duo Narattana/Ysidora Tobing will challenge 4th seed pair Tamara Curovic/Sachie Ishizu (Serbia/Japan).
