Surprisingly, Jelena is still scheduled to play in Pattaya next week. Why is it surprising ? Well because she has been playing much more than anybody on the WTA tour since April when she turned 18 years old. Good ? In some ways it was ? She got to play many matches, gain experience, and move up in the rankings. But to think it is all good would be naive. Jelena certainly took a toll and she realised it on many occasions saying she was getting tired and would have to play less tournaments. I guess that next week doesn't really matter because it's the season ending tournament and she can rest after. But no doubt that Jelena will need to planify her schedule much better next year if she wants to have enough energy to compete with the Davenport's of this word...
