Veselinovic Surges Through

Anna Veselinovic sealed an impressive fourth consecutive win at the $25,000 challenger event in Phoenix, Arizona.

The 19-year-old is fighting to win back a full-time place at the Monte Carlo Tennis Academy after failing to reach her targets in 2007, and she rattled through qualifying with few difficulties. One of her victories came over Antonella Serra Zanetti - a former World No.60.

In the first round of the main draw, Veselinovic smashed her way past Melissa Torres Sandoval of Mexico - a player ranked more than 150 places above the MCTA player. Veselinovic won 6-1, 6-3.

“I'm confident in myself and my game, and I did a good job finding the bad spots of my opponent,” said Veselinovic.

For MCTA Director of Coaching David Sammel, the victory was a continuation of the form that he is looking to see every time Veselinovic takes to the court.

“In 2007, Ana did not beat one player ranked higher than herself. Here in Phoenix she has beaten four in a row, and this was a routine win over a clay-courter,” he said.

She will now meet the sixth seed Kathrin Woerle of Germany in the second round.
