Weak physical condition and upset stomach has yet to subside, but Indonesia's numero uno Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing kept on strving at "Yucatan World Cup 2009", an ITF Grade 1 tournament which is held in Merida, state of Yucatan, Mexico. As fourth seed, Ysidora Tobing overcame difficulty in her movement and cruised past wild card Caroline Garcia of France 7-6(2), 6-0 in round 16 on Wednesday (November 25, 2009). In the opening set, Ysidora Tobing felt stiff all over her body and she could not play her own game which caused her trailing 2-5 and 15-40. From this moment on, it was really a turning point for Ysidora Tobing as she found her own rhythm and she was simply unstoppable all the way to secure a place in the last eight round.
In quarterfinal, Ysidora Tobing will face a tougher challenge from Russian Katerina Popova who has career high at ITF 194 last January. In third round, Popova sprung surprise of the day after she battled past Los Angeles born and sixth seed Noel Scott of USA 2-6, 6-4, 6-1.
