Ysidora raises her level in European tour
Recently turned 16 years old on May 11, 2009, Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing, was officially notified by ITF on April 27, 2008 to join ITF A Team in European tour. ITF's decision was based on Ysidora's best rank at ITF 48 as per April 13, 2009 and as the most potential player of Indonesia. ITF A Team is fully financed by ITF Grand Slam Development Fund. Ysidora is the only Asian and the youngest in this prestigious team and she is joining Veronica Cepede Royg of Paraguay (currently ITF 15, born on January 21, 1992), Norwegian Ulrikke Eikeri (currently ITF 17, born on December 16, 1992), Chanel Simmonds of South Africa (currently ITF 19, born on August 10, 1992) and Ysidora's good friend - Zsofia Susanyi of Hungary (currently ITF 29, born on February 16, 1992). Back in 2007, Ysidora was chosen to be in ITF Under 14 team for European tour as well. Last year, she was also offered to be part of ITF Under 16 team for European tour but she declined such offer since she chose to play more ITF tourneys in cranking-up her world rank.
Together with her team mates, Ysidora is scheduled to play at:
50th Trofeo Bonfiglio Grade A in Milan, Italy from May 18 to 24, 2009 (clay)
45th Astrid Bowl Grade 1 in Charleroi, Belgium from May 25 to 30, 2009 (clay)
Roland Garros Junior Championships Grade A in Paris, France from May 31 to June 7, 2009 (clay)
17th International Junior Tournament Grade 1 at Offenbach/Main, Germany from June 9 to 14, 2009 (clay)
Grass Court Training Camp in London, UK from June 15 to 19, 2009
AEGON International Junior Tennis Championships Grade 1 in Roehampton, UK from June 21 to 26, 2009
The Junior Championships/Wimbledon Grade A in London, UK from June 27 to July 5, 2009
In senior pro, after total of four tourneys since April 2008, Ysidora is now ranked at WTA 906 (singles) and WTA 949 (doubles) as at May 11, 2009.
Bon voyage! Bonne chance, Ysidora!
