[Vomephems]

Just who IS this Mona Barthel who is mowing down the competition? I know of her from the ITF circuit but she never did all that much there ---

And she won the final 6-1, 6-2. Impressive.

A decent draw for the first couple matches in Melbourne...but potentially Vika in 3rd round.

Just who IS this Mona Barthel who is mowing down the competition? I know of her from the ITF circuit but she never did all that much there ---

Came through qualies and everything!

She has a sort of effortless quality with her play.
