The bulgarian player Elitsa Kostova won her final qualifying round in the italian city of Civitechia near rome against her opponent Shamayko from Russia. Her opponent started gutsy as she broke Kostova and held her serve untill 4:2. Then Kostova rebroke and took the first set 7:5. However her opponent continued trying as she broke again at the start of the set and held her serve doing incredible winners from the baseline that were going deep and hard to return for Kostova. However this didn`t affect the 18 year old bulgarian hope as she cruised throught the third set breaking her opponent 3 times and packing her second consecutive main draw at a 25,000$ tournament. Her last tournament ended in the first main dra match against Isable Cabeza Candella 7:5 6:4. Kostova this time took an easier draw and she will take on the out of form Marinne Giraud from Mauritius. They haven`t met before but this years results from Kostova are much better then hers as Kostova reached a semifinal at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and got throught the qualifies of 2 consecutive 25k$ tournaments. She also plays doubles with Kinnie Laisne from France as in the first round she will meet another bulgaria Dia Evtimova and Valerie Tetreault from Canada. Lets hope any of them wins the match reach atlest the semifinals.
