Gisela Dulko reaches Moorilla Hobart International quarterfinals

Gisela Dulko made it past Tamira Paszek 6-1, 0-6, 7-6 to reach the quarters at the Hobart International tennis tournament.

Next for Dulko is Anabel Medina Garrigues, who defeated Alla Kudryavtseva 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.

Dulko played in very tough conditions, she was very upset about it and said tournament officials should have a policy to call off play in strong winds. Points were interrupted several times as objects blew across the court and scoreboards were weighed down.

“It was a point today, it was impossible to play tennis,” Dulko said. “At the end of the second set, and almost all of the third set it was so tough—you can’t play like this. I don’t think I’ve played tennis in worse conditions than this today.”

“It was really windy and everything was flying around on the court, I couldn’t serve, toss the ball,” Dulko said.
