2012 Mercury Insurance Open Preview

Sunday, July 15th, 2012

Hey Tennis Friends!

Late last week, I dropped by the pre-qualifying tournament at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California to get a preview of the Mercury Insurance Open!

The pre-qualifying final featured in this report was from this past Thursday. The score was 1-2, with Jelena Durisic serving at 40-30 in the first set when the injury retirement occurred. Arianna Colffer has since said that her initial diagnosis is that she may have a torn ACL.

Yesterday, in the first round of qualifying, Jelena Durisic lost to Irena Pavlovic, from France, 6-4, 6-0, after saving one match point. Jelena said that she was nervous and tentative throughout the match, but she won points when she relaxed. In her estimation, her opponent was more experienced and handled the pressure better.
