It's about time for a new face on the women's curcuit and this young portugese started making some noise in the past weeks on the WTA tour. After pushing Serena Williams to three sets in Stanford she fell in the third round of the Roger's Cup in Montreal to the ever fickle Sveta with 5:7 6:2 4:6. I haven't seen the match, unfortunately, but from her results in the past, she might be one to put on the "watch list". She made her way all through the qualies and got past Vania King (ok, that's not that much of a problem lately) and the in-form Flavia Pennetta (recent L.A. finalist). I had high expectations that she might cause a big upset here.
Being from portugal, she moved to the states to train at the Bollettieri Tennis Acadamy but quit in 2007 to be fully trained by her father. She still lives in Florida now. I reckon we will be able to hear more from this young lady in the future.
