Majoli defeats herself
ZURICH, Oct 15: Third seed Iva Majoli of Croatia lost her opening match and what little was left of
her confidence with a second-round defeat to Belgium's Sabine Appelmans at the
European Indoor championships on Tuesday, reports Reuter.
After receiving a first-round bye, Majoli. the world number four apd French Open champion, showed none of the re-
solve she displayed on the way to claiming her first Grand Slam title as she surrendered meekly to Appelmans 7-6, 6-2.
Up a break and leading 5-2, Majoli had looked In control of the match but was unable to close out the first set. squandering three set points.
Her fragile confidence shaken. Majoli could offer only token resistance in the second as Appelmans went on to record her first career win over the Croat.
"I didn't have to play an unbelievably great game today." admitted Appelmans. "She made some big mistakes, particularly in the tie-break.
"I was behind a break in the first set and only when she started missing shots did 1 think I could get back into the match."
One of only three women to topple Swiss world number one Martina Hingis this season. Majoli has now lost her opening match in four of seven tour-
naments since her French Open triumph, including last week in Filderstadt.
Tm just very confused right now." said Majoli. who has won just four matches since her quarterfinal loss to Anna Kournikova at Wimbledon. ‘Today I beat myself, she didn't do anything, she just pushed the ball back.
"1 just don't have any confidence left.
Today was a very difficult match for me to lose — I just want to disappear."
For the 17th ranked Appealmans a first round loser in three of her last four tournaments, the victory was her first over a top 10 opponent since February and moved her into the quarterfinals.
Fifth seed Amanda Coetzer sailed smoothly into the second round with a tidy 7-6, 6-3 win over crowd favourite Patty Schnyder of Switzerland.
It was the second time in five days that the diminutive South African had brought Schnyder's tournament to an end. having knocked her out of the quarterfinals in Filderstadt last Friday.
