[cr0atennis]

Bychkova looks like a good player, but she hasn't made it far

[tenniscraze]

what kind of video camera are u using? love it

[365to173repubsPWNED]

Yanina Wickmayer warming up on side?

[danielcraig4ever]

I saw De Brito at Stanford last year, very bitchy stuck up teenager. hope she matures soon or end up a burnt out teen like Jennifer Capriati

[Maximagq]

@danielcraig4ever That doesn't sound like the same Michelle we saw in this video. She was very nice and I took a picture of her posing with my son Matt which we hang on our wall along with all the great tennis players.

[CorneliaBonifacio]

@Maximagq she is a beautiful person like all portuguese ppl are . she ill be number 1 , ull see

[ARZ1987]

De Brito has similar technique to Wozniacki, except not quite as smooth or as good yet.

[zefsilva]

Keep up training in your return en dont forget to have a porpose when you serving becouse she did like when you serve on midle of her zone you are defending end strugling about her big return thanks Michele. Place the bal more. Take my advise...

Get rid of the Williams sisters, Di Brito and Shrieky.

[ExCuPeEn]

hmmmm so she CAN play quietly. Pisses me off so much that she gets away with that shit during matches. Same with williams sisters. If they don't need to practice with it, then it's totally fake.

[GingerMouseIsBack]

That's funny... where is the screeching?

[LeahKat]

Interesting that Larcher de Brito, who has been at the centre of controversy due to her screeching during matches, never made a sound while practising.

[Novinte]

@LeahKat intensity purposes. 

[madapho]

0:34 ace!

[pofulover]

All I have to say is whoever it is that is in blue plays some great tennis :)

[SiLViABANANAA]

It's Ekaterina Bychkova, No Vitalia Diatchenko

[JamesYakov1990]

Actually I do know who it is. I hadn't seen the up close footage at the end of the vid when I said that.

It's Ekaterina Bychkova.

[JecaMasha]

The girl in blue is Vitalia Diatchenko from Russia.

[JamesYakov1990]

@JecaMasha That is definitely not Vitalia. Vitalia uses both hands on both sides and that player is consistently playing with a one handed forehand. I'm not sure who it is though! ;)

[JecaMasha]

I know she does, but sometimes she doesn't depending on the situation. She then has her left hand on the racket and releases it and plays it onehanded. Plus the looks and Yonex racket give it away as well ;)

[JamesYakov1990]

@JecaMasha It isn't Vitalia, trust me. ;) Although you are right, all two handers will sometimes play a one handed shot if they are forced to, but that is definitely Ekaterina Bychkova and not Vitalia. :)

[JecaMasha]

Ohhh Bychkova. Could well be. They have similar body shapes. Well I just googled recent Bychkova pics and she changed to Yonex. Last time I saw her she had a Prince in her hands!

[JamesYakov1990]

@JecaMasha Yeah I didn't realise she'd switched racquets either, but it is definitely Ekaterina Bychkova. If the person who took this vid sees these comments they should probably change the name in the title. :)
