June 9, 2004 Rash of Upsets Spread Through Birmingham Golovin has advances to the third round in her first grass court event. The 16-year-old improves to 16-7 in her breakthrough season on the Tour. One year ago, the young Frenchwoman was ranked No.315 in the world, but thanks to consistent efforts at the Australian Open, Paris indoor and Miami, Golovin recently reached a career-best ranking of No.65. Hantuchova, a former Top 5 player, has struggled recently on the Tour that includes losses in eight of her last 11 matches. The former Indian Wells champion has slipped to 7-11 on the year and recently dropped out of the Top 50 for the first time since October 2001. Like Hantuchova, the 2004 struggles by No.5 seed Dokic continued this week as the 2002 Birmingham champion fell to qualifier Shenay Perry, 64 76(4). Dokic's record this season dropped to 6-12 as the Serbian player has now dropped five straight matches and eight of her last nine. Dokic was at the top of her game back in 2002 when she won the Birmingham title, defeating Anastasia Myskina in the final. Shortly after winning in Birmingham, Dokic soared to a career-best No.4 in the world in August, but couldn't hold onto that ranking for long. She finished 2002 at No.9 in the world and then struggled to a 28-30 mark in 2003, slipping to No.15 in the year in rankings. After missing the first month of the season, Dokic made her debut at the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo and looked sharped in her first event of 2004, reaching the semifinals before losing to eventual winner Lindsay Davenport. But things haven't been very bright since leaving Japan. The 21-year-old has failed to win back-to-back matches since and has only three wins in her last 11 events. ---- WTA的報導已經多次將DOKIC 韓娃的名字連在一塊了也許我該學戴恩兄更改簽名檔祈福韓娃你可真要加油阿 ※ 編輯: okk 來自: 140.118.122.149 (06/10 11:39)
