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).
