The next week will be very important for Ana Tatishvili. The Georgian tennis player is supposed to protect her 280 points, which she earned in the USA Open Championship last year. If she does not do it, it will be the serious fall in the WTA ranking.
Tatishvili has 584 points and is in the 115th place in the renewed classification. She will play against Serbian Ana Ivanovic tomorrow in the first round of New York Slem-Tournament.
115 (115). Ana Tatishvili - 584; 277 (277). Oksana Kalashnikova -179; 278 (278). Sopo Shapatava-179; 434 (432). Maka Chakhnashvili - 83; 510 (523). Ekaterine Gorgodze - 58; 558 (561). Sopo Kvacabaia - 50.
Sopo Shapatava, after his performance in the final of the St Petersburg tournament, went to Kazan, where she plays against #5 seed Ukrainian Ludmila Kichenko in the 50-thousand tournament. In doubles, Sopo Shapatava and Russian Yulia Kalabina will face Uzbek Khabibulina and Ukrainian Vasyleva.
