4-0 now.

But my Davenport H2H was 5-0 before I got a win, and 4-0 against Hingis before I got a win. :p So it won't be forever.

You've got me.

There's instructions here, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work for me. http://www.managames.com/Forum/topic29-2061.php Might work for you though.

WEEK 9: DOHA (Level: Tier 1, Surface: Hard)

Vili was the defending champion.

R1: BYE

R2: [3]Valerie Vili (NZL) def. Rita Grande (ITA) 6-2, 6-4
Sweet revenge from the Australian Open. :whistle:

QF: [3]Valerie Vili (NZL) def. Paola Suarez (ARG) 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-4
"I should've won it 6-3, 6-2," said Vili. "I didn't play very well and lost my concentration too often. Hopefully my next round will be better."

SF: [7]Kim Clijsters (BEL) def. [3]Valerie Vili (NZL) 4-6, 4-6.
"I think I showed good fighting spirit in this match," said Vili. "In the first set my first serve percentage was in the low 30s, but I was hitting quite well. If I'd have served better I'm pretty sure I would've won this match."
In Vili's only previous encounter with Clijsters, at the 4th round of the 2000 US Open, Vili won in an epic, 7-5, 4-6, 10-8.
"I'm looking forward to Indian Wells and Miami, which I couldn't play last year due to injury. I think I'll be able to do well there." an optimistic Vili said. "In the meantime, I'm going to keep working on my serve."

NEXT TOURNAMENT: Indian Wells

WEEK 10: INDIAN WELLS (Level: Tier I, Surface: Hard)

R1: BYE

R2: [10]Valerie Vili (NZL) def. [Q]Marion Maruska (AUT) 6-3, 6-3.

R3: [23]Jelena Dokic (AUS) def. [10]Valerie Vili (NZL) 3-6, 2-6.
Interview:

Reporter: Valerie, you seemed to be serving very slowly, by your standards, in the match. Were you having some shoulder issues today?
Vili: Yeah, I took pace off the serve to try and protect my shoulder for Miami.

Reporter: When did you start to feel pain?
Vili: After my first-round match, I went to the practice courts, and yeah that's when I felt it. But I was prepared this time. Last year when I had the same problem, I felt pain and ignored it, but this time I think I managed my situation a lot better.

Reporter: How do you think you played overall, despite the shoulder pain?
Vili: I had fun. It was a good match, lots of good rallies. She's a pretty good player.

Reporter: Do you think you'll be ready for MIami?
Vili: I'm quietly confident. I didn't even play Miami last year so I'm looking forward to it. I reached the fourth round a couple of years back so I think I can hopefully go further.

Next Tournament: Miami

WEEK 13: MIAMI (Level: Tier 1, Surface: Hard)

R1: BYE

R2: [10]Valerie Vili (NZL) def. Virginia Ruano Pascual (ESP) 6-1, 6-4

R3: [10]Valerie Vili (NZL) def. [23]Patty Schnyder (SUI) 7-6(4), 6-4
Schnyder's lefty serve troubled Vili during this match, but meetings against quality lefties are a rare occurance for Vili so it was understandable. :mrgreen:

R4: [10]Valerie Vili (NZL) def. [26]Lisa Raymond (USA) 6-0, 7-5.
"I just want to forget that second set happened," said Vili smiling after the match. "I thought she played a much better second set and really deserved it as much as I did. I can't afford to lose concentration like that against Venus next."

QF: [1]Venus Williams (USA) def. [10]Valerie Vili (NZL) 1-6, 2-6.
There was some highly entertaining rallies in this match, but Venus was just too good. Vili served at her regular speeds during this match as her shoulder felt OK. Vili actually came into this match was a leading H2H (3-2) over Venus, but Venus showed today why she is #1.

Miami Final: [4]Serena Williams (USA) def. [28]Justine Henin (BEL) 7-5, 2-6, 7-6(4)

Now that the clay season is starting, here are some quick stats for the year so far:
