Tough Conditions for Anna
Talentum Cup, Budapest
Easing through her first match a
slight stumble in the second round
of the Talentum Cup against Timea
Babus from Hungary gave momentary
cause for concern for Anna
Fitzpatrick. However, despite
losing the first set Anna soon
regrouped and swept through the
remainder of the match 4-6 6-2 6-2.
Yet perhaps the alarm bells had been
triggered as a slightly off par
performance in the quarter finals
resulted in a 6-2 6-3 defeat to
Hungary’s Reka – Luca Jani.
Not
feeling one hundred per cent before
stepping on the court, matters
weren’t improved by the elements.
Battling against the wind, rain and
a cold Anna’s usual sparkle was
missing. Unable to find a rhythm at
the start didn’t bode well for the
rest of the match and powerless to
change the momentum into her favour
the games began to run in her
opponent’s direction.
Still it was a lesson learned for
the MCTA player who now knows how
crucial the first few points are to
set the tone for the rest of the
match:
“I was very disappointed because it
was a good opportunity to make it
into the semis and get some useful
points as she wasn’t that strong or
experienced. Had I taken chances
and been really positive at the
start the match could have been
completely different.”
