You know, she did make the QF here two or three years ago. Fittingly, she lost to JHH.

And she reached the 4R of Wimbledon '98. Which was better, because it avoided another horrible Ree-Vee match. Which was more impressive than the incredibly lucky draw she had at AO '03.

And your other pointless fact for "Vivi".
She's the only player to win 3 or more tournies, while facing match point against in all of them.

Yes, Cardiff. It was one of those crappy IVA tournies for a couple years in the mid-90's, before going back to an ITF. Outside. During clay season. In one of those British countries. Weather must have been beautiful, considering it's always freezing in Berlin that time of year.

You mean early May? It's always hot in Berlin at that time, at least on the first few days when I'm there.
It's freezing late in that and in the following week when Hamburg takes place.

Sometimes it's hot in Berlin then. But, the average high is only like 60-65. I don't know what that is in Celcius. And often you see players wearing sweatshirts, and such.
