Amsterdam reports

SF :

Barbara Potter serves hard but erratically, she vollleys well but get little power behind her groundstrokes. All that she does well, Mandlikova does it better. Plain and simple on Gold Star court last night.

Last week in Filderstadt she was close to an upset against Hana Mandlikova, but it seems that this week, the 18-years-old czech brought back her brilliance and talent in Amsterdam, and Potter didn’t stand a chance.
