Lina Kraz decided to skip Indian Wells and Miami but she'll be in Sarasota for the start of the clay season. Good Luck to her. ;D [Edit: got her name right in the title ]

Great, we have a thread for Lina! It's a pitty that she does not play both of these tier I's But maybe she really needs a break as she's been playing quite a lot lately. I cannot wait to see her on TV. Preferably, during the second week of RG

Good news: Lina advanced to the 2nd round of qualies after beating Lilia Osterloh 7-6, 6-3 today in the first round. Two more matches to go and she's in the main draw. Come on, Kraz! ;D

After making it through 3 tough matches in the qualies, Lina lost in the first round of the main draw to Pistolesi. She hates playing walls. No worries, she gets a direct entry into Charleston this week. Good Luck!

Lina's section of the draw in Charleston:
Bovina, Elena (9) BYE Loit, Emilie - Harkleroad, Ashley Likhovtseva, Elena - Husarova, Janette Qualifier - Shaughnessy, Meghann (11)
Stevenson, Alexandra (17) - Ruano Pascual, Virginia Krasnoroutskaya, Lina - Craybas, Jill Panova, Tatiana - Tu, Meilen Hantuchova, Daniela (5) BYE
Jennifer Capriati's withdrawal makes things much easier for Lina (she was replaced by Alexandra Stevenson who is very beatable on clay). I think Lina has a good chance of making the 3rd round. Hantuchova would be very difficult but Krasnoroutskaya has already beaten a top tenner this year (Monica Seles) and Dani has been in a slump recently...

Lina turns 19 tomorrow (April 19th). Happy Birthday darling! Btw, Krasnoroutskaya added Strasbourg onto her schedule before Roland Garros. I guess she wanted to get some more match play after some not-so-great results on the American green clay. Davai!!

Happy sweet 19 Lina Btw, Leo, isn't it April 29, not 19 And good that Lina added one more tournament to her schedule. Now she had quite a long break after her hectic schedule in the start of the season. Best of luck Lina. I hope red clay will bring you more success than the green one

Lina won easily today over grass-court specialist Els Callens, 6-4, 6-4. On to round #2. Nadia Petrova also had a good victory today.

Lina lost 2-6, 6-7(5) to Mauresmo today. Oh well, at least she put up a good fight after dropping the first set. And she served well today, not dropping serve a single time in the second.

Lina is in Strabsourg this week, getting one more week of preparation for Roland Garros. Her draw is Daniilidou, then Bartoli, then Zvonareva, then Dokic. Pretty tough, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lina made a few upsets. Let's Go Kraz! She was actually supposed to play today, but the damn rain got in the way and all of the opening round Strasbourg matches were postponed until tomorrow. I feel like I'm all alone here *chill*

How should I know if he's gay? He's never made any comments that lead me to draw a conclusion about his sexuality. I was thinking that he might actually be asexual.. let's hope so, for the sake of both genders. Vaiva: Don't you get enough attention from your husband?

Vaiva: Don't you get enough attention from your husband? I thought the answer was pretty obvious: of course, NO
