25K Padova

Well, an event of big interest once more as Jelena Dokic is in action here:) She won her opening match 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 against Valentina Sassi!!!

Jelena lost 2R to Sandra Zahlavova 7-5 6-2. Kind of disappointing I guess but we have to remember it's Jelena's first match since pulling out of $75,000 Rome Tiro A Volo with a leg injury.

Good to see she's continuing to play what seems to be a heavy schedule ahead, with $25,000 Stuttgart Vaihingen up next, this week.

yeah, another tough loss in Stuttgart but she's still improving:)
