Chakvetadze powers on
by Bren O'Brien
Sunday, 21 January, 2007

No.12 women's seed Anna Chakvetadze has continued her strong progress
through the early rounds of the Australian Open 2007, winning her
delayed third-round match against Jelena Kostanic Tošic in straight
sets.

Chakvetadze, who won the Moorilla Hobart International in the lead-up
to this tournament, has now dropped just one set in her opening three
encounters, and will play Swiss No.8 seed Patty Schnyder in the
fourth round on Day Eight after her 6-4 6-4 win.

Kostanic Tošic had herself to blame for losing the first set after
squandering no fewer than 10 break-point opportunities. Chakvetadze
won just eight points on the Croatian's serve for the set, but got
them when they mattered, converting her only break-point chance and
wrapping up the set in 42 minutes.

Kostanic Tošic finally got the break she was looking for in the
second set, but Chakvetadze broke her twice, dominating the
Croatian's serve for much of the set. She wrapped up the match in an
hour and 19 minutes for her second appearance in the fourth round of
a Grand Slam tournament.

Jon Wertheim's pretournament-quote about Anna:
"Little-known Russian has been playing top-five tennis since the
fall. Looked sharp in tune-ups to boot. A player to watch."
