Earlier this month, Dominika Cibulkova took Amelie Mauresmo out of the first round of the Toray Pan Pacific Open, after Mauresmo held four match points. Today, Cibulkova repeated the upset in the first round in Beijing, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Mauresmo double-faulted thirteen times in today's match. The double-fault bug has really been going around. I think Sharapova's double-faulting was due to her shoulder problems, but Safina and Mauresmo have had a real go of it, too.
Cibulkova is, of course, an important young player on the tour. Another important young player, Caroline Wizniacki, didn't fare as well: She was defeated, 7-6, 6-4 by Anabel Medina Garrigues.

If only momo can get her serve together!!!!
btw...I hope she gets a new coach soon. I think Martina Navratilova might be good.

I think Amelie's service problem is a symptom of her lack of confidence. I hope she sticks with it and does what she needs to do.
apparently she practiced her serve alot (even in the rain) before the tourny started. but like Loic said her training sessions are not translating into match results. grrr momo!

Remember, Dani, when Dementieva's serve was so great in practice, and then when she got on the court she couldn't serve at all? That's head stuff.
