Tati got to the semis last year.

Unfortunately, this year is not going so well. She defeated Poutchek in straight sets but is really struggling against Chakvetadze. Tati lost the first set 6-1 and has been a break down twice in the 2nd. Now the score is 3-4 but tati keeps getting broken unfortunately and i doubt she can come back

[Sheva]

Bah! She lost.

But she and Safina are through in doubles

[Sheva]

Tati and Safina in the QF's in doubles

[Sheva]

I can't believe it!

I decided not to update here all week in Amelia Island for some reason and i ought to do it more often.

TATI HAS WON HER FIRST TITLE!!!!!!!!

Amelia Island
Round 1: Bye
Round 2: def Castano 6-0 6-3
Round 3: def Stosur 6-2 6-1

Thank god she finally won a title. Great performances. Congratulations tatiana

Her next tournament is in Charleston where she has a tricky 1st round with Cibulkova who is on form. However, the draw ain't bad at all as a whole.

i actually noticed you weren't updating the thread this week. congrats tati!

[Sweet4Richard]

Congrats Tatiana!

I saw her matches from the QF and she played very well. She looked really strong against Venus and Petrova. A little shaky against Ana but still she fought hard and got through. I was so happy for her. Congrats!!

[Ms_LV]

Great tourny for Tati! And of course congrats to her for winning! She defeated some really good players on the road!

has anyone watched the tv documentary of tati in eurosport
i watched it yesterday she was soo nice
its called something like tatiana's life and each day they show a little episode for about 15 mins, its very cute

[Sheva]

I've seen a couple of videos on eurosport, maybe the things i've posted in here?

Anyway, the no updating trick didn't really work, Tati didn't win Charleston but finished in the quarters. She retired against safina in that match but from what i've read it is mainly tiredness and a bit of an ankle problem. She may be fit for Fed Cup this week.

Round 1 Tati def Dominika Cibulkova 6-4 6-1
Round 2 Tati def Jill Craybas 6-0 6-1
Round 3 Tati def Shuai Peng 6-2 4-6 6-3
Quarters Tati lst to Dinara Safina 3-6 ret

[Sheva]

Tatiana won both her Fed cup matches

She beat Morigami 6-2 6-4 and Suigyama 7-6 6-0

France are through.

I know I'm a bit late, but congrats again to Tati for winning here first title and also doing so well in Fed cup . I saw the Charleston final, Tatiana played so good and never lost her focus. She might have gotten a tougher match if Nadia had played better, but I think she had her mind set on that trophy and nothing could have stopped her!

[Sheva]

Tati has injured her ankle again.
Nothing too serious, but i'm starting to think that ankle problems may stay with her throughout her career

[Sheva]

It's unclear if she will play Roland Garros. She trained with Paul Henri Mathieu this week and afterwards said she is still unsure about playing.
I hope she doesn't make the problem worse.
