Jelena won her first match of the playoff over a young Australian Sophie Letcher, 6-3 6-0.

A reminder on the format.... there are 16 people in the playoff (4 Roundrobin groups), the top 2 finishers from each group will advance to the QF stage where it then becomes single-knockout. Jelena is the #2 seed overall (Jess Moore is the #1, but she lost today 2 & 2...Ouch!), and the others in her group are Letcher, Mirkovic, and Wejnert (a talented young Aussie who won a $25k a few weeks back). Still, she should have no problem qualifying. Sophie Ferguson is the only other player of note in this playoff. Wheeler (last years champ) isn't playing this year... I believe she might be retiring, and Adamczak has been out for awhile due to a foot injury. So, I think Jelena should win this easily.....especially since Jess Moore seems to be out of form.

Go Jelena Go Jelena Go Jelena Go Jelena Go Jelena!!! I can't wait to see her play in the 2009 AO!!!!

I wish I knew how to post the pictures!!!

And with thoughts of mmmm8 on my mind, here's the link: http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/...189522601.html
