		<description>Dear Zuleika,

Thank you very much for your encouragement! I work hard to make this blog as good and as accurate as possible, and I hope it shows, but sometimes we all make mistakes. But as I said, you can always express your opinion, and readers&#039; opinion is what makes blogs richer and better. You can always add to the article, or correct it if you think it&#039;s not very good, like you did in this case. That&#039;s welcome.

Thank you once again for supporting Women&#039;s Tennis Blog!</description>

		<description>Dear Marija,

Well actually I think you&#039;ve done a phenomenal job with /www.womenstennisblog.com/, particularly when it&#039;s a part-time project; good luck and keep up the great work even if that means not solely trusting Sporting Life or Courier Mail!</description>

		<description>Zuleika, I&#039;m glad you like my work, at least generally. :) 

This match was not broadcast on our TV, although I hoped it would be so I woke up to watch it. Hence, I read what others wrote about the match, and Sporting Life, which I named as the source, wrote exactly this &quot;was too strong for her Czech opponent and ran out a comfortable 6-4 6-2 winner&quot;. And I believed them, which was apparently my mistake. 

However, that is why we have blogs and comments, so that everyone can add to the conversation and write their opinion. I&#039;m really thankful that you and Hecto gave me and all the readers of Women&#039;s Tennis Blog better insight into the match.</description>

		<description>Dear Marija, 

 I am usually impressed with your objective, non-biased commentary on the details of these crucial matches but simply describing Ana&#039;s performance as &#039;comfortable&#039; and her presence being &#039;too strong&#039; is quite slanted. After only achieving 61% of her first serves in and otherwise almost none on her second serve, even she had to admit: 

&quot;I had to fight for each point and you know that&#039;s good, especially in the first match. You want to get into your rhythm and you want to stay tough for each point,&quot; and &quot;She was a tough opponent for a first round -- she likes to hit the ball very flat. 

That did not sound entirely comfortable.</description>

		<description>Lucky you, Hecto, for being there! Thank you for telling us more about the match. I&#039;m really interested in how Ana will start this new season.

When I saw Ana in person, she looked exactly the same, although I saw her from not so small distance.</description>

		<description>I went to see this match in Brisbane last night and Ana looked amazing! It was the first time I saw Ana in real life, and I must say she looks even more stunning in person than in the photos :) 

She didn&#039;t play that well (it seemed like Petra was hitting harder and dictating the points) but she still managed to win quite comfortably in the end.</description>
