Ashley playes Sybille Bammer of Australia in the first round of the
Moorilla Hobart International in about 8 hours as of this posting. It
will be a late afternoon early evening match "down under"
Ashley actually should win this round and Ashley needs a win. She has
defeated Bammer in the past. Bammer is playing on home field turf but
in Tennis that doesn't hold as much weight as it does in team sports.
This tournament is already in "crazy" mode as Karolina Sprem had to
qualify and lost in the first round. She lost to Tatiana Poutchek, a
good player but not a match you would think Karolina would lose. Then
you stop and think, Karolina has to qualify and Ashley doesn't? What
happened. Injuries for Karolina is her big issue but still you just
don't expect to see her in qualifying.
