Yesterday, two Latvians faced each other in Oberstaufen Qualifying event in the very 1st round. Not nice for them.:sad:

Ricards Opmanis(Latvia) beat Janis Mellups(Latvia) 6-3 6-2 Two new names to me, its exciting that more Latvian players are competing.

Ricards now faces Top Seed Marek Semjan of Slovakia in 2nd Qualifying Round. Lai tev veicas Ricards:rocker2:

EDIT: I just looked Ricards up on ITF Circuit website and he's listed as being coached by Niki Pilic. He's 18.

Janis is another Latvian born in 1988,he turned 20 in April this year.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I thought it was nice. There's a Latvian girl moving up the rankings! Anastasija Sevastova, she's 18 and has been winning some challengers this year. Good luck to her. :dance:

Well,theres a very good Latvian WTA player called Liga Dekmeijere who excels in doubles,so Hopman Cup for Latvia isn't out of the question...I hope she and Ernests can play in Perth one day. I've been lucky enough to visit the venue(Burswood Dome - part of Burswood Resort),its gorgeous:hearts:

Deniss is through to semi-finals of Latvia Futures,he'll play Marcin Gawron of Poland(seeded 3) for a place in the singles final.

He's playing doubles with Pjotrs Necajevs of Latvia, they removed No 1 seeds in 1st round:banana: They're through to the final:worship: They'll face Poles Gawron and Andriej Kapas. Sarauj Deniss:rocker2:

Liga is 25,so she has experience of tennis and life:p Do you really think she's too old at 25? Erica, thats really scary:lol: Experience,youth, and the beauty of both of them on one side of the net - a perfect combination:p Go Liga and Erno, you can grace the Hopman Cup with my blessing:rocker2::p
