Dokic wins

 Jelena Dokic won 6:3,0:6,6:2 in 73 minutes,to book her place in the second round of the Betty Barclay Cup.It was very interesting match to watch.After dropping her first service game,Jelena came back very quickly to win the first set,with some great ground strokes and passing shots.But,as we all now,Myskina has been hot and cold this year,but when she's hot,she's very solid. In the second set,Jelena made some absurd errors,so she wasn't in position to dominate the second set.It was not that much Myskina,but it was Jelena who made lots of unforced errors.

"She played good at the beginning of the secondset,and she's one of those players that is just going to get a lot of balls in"-Jelena said.

Somehow,Jelena is the best when it's most important.She didn't have time to think about that letdown in the second set.She regained her concentration,started to play better,started to move her opponent around the court,and the result was there.It was all in confidence.Jelena won five of the last six games of the match,so it was more than enough to seal the win.

"It was my first match this year on red clay and she's been playing well,so I'm happy that I got through that one"-finished Dokic.
