Kirilenko Finally Breaks Through
Saturday, January 19th, 2008
Man, if we were tired of Maria Kirilenko always losing in the first or second round of a Grand Slam, imagine how she felt.
“Usually I’m losing like every time in the first round in a Grand Slam” said Kirilenko after her 6-7 (6), 6-1, 6-2 win over Anna Chakvetadze who trained at the same club in Moscow as Kirilenko when they were both juniors.
This has been a long time coming for Kirilenko who has had some success on the WTA Tour especially at the end of last year winning the title in India and losing a three set match to Venus Williams in Seoul.
Kirilenko will next face either Virginia Ruano Pascual or Daniela Hantuchova.
