[edit] Personal life

Anne was born in Hackney in London, to immigrant parents who fled from their wartorn home country of Laos in the 1970s.^[10] Her father, Somsak, is an employee in a bank and encouraged all of his children to play short tennis from an early age.^[11] Her mother's name is Vathana and she has two brothers; James and Mark. Keothavong's younger sister, Lena, also played tennis on the ITF tour briefly with limited success. Anne attended Kingsland High School^[12] and earned seven GCSEs and an A-level in maths.^[11]

Keothavong grew up playing park tennis on Hackney Downs and Highbury Fields in an inner-city area of North East London which is traditionally predominantly working class and ethnically diverse ^[13]. Her preferred surface is hard, though she has also enjoyed success on clay, carpet and grass. She is coached by the Lawn Tennis Association's Head Coach of Women's Tennis Nigel Sears and by former player Claire Curran and trains at the LTA's National Tennis Centre at Roehampton, South-West London, where her stringent fitness regime is overseen by the LTA's team of trainers and physiotherapists.^[14][1]

[edit] Playing style

Anne's greatest strength is her powerful forehand which she uses to try to dominate play from the baseline and she adds as much topspin as possible to increase the probability of the ball landing in court.^[15] As well as her forehand, she can rely on her first-serve to get her some easy points as she often has a high first-serve percentage and usually wins the majority of points on her first-serve. She rarely has a match where she serves no aces at all and in her second round match at the 2008 US Open she served a total of seven aces throughout the match. These factors all combine to give Anne an advantage going into every service game.^{[16][17][18][19][20][21]}

[edit] Career

[edit] Junior (1996–2001)

Anne played her first match on the junior ITF tour in February 1996 and her last in August 2001. In singles she won one title at the LTA Junior International Tournament – Bisham Abbey where she beat compatriot Elena Baltacha in the final, 6–2 6–1. She also reached a total of three semifinals (one of which was at the 2001 Wimbledon girls' tournament where she was beaten by Dinara Safina, 2–6 1–6^[22]) and ten quarterfinals. She finished her juniors career with a singles win–loss record of 44–40 and a career-high ranking of world No.60 (achieved 3 January, 2000).^[23]

In junior doubles she won one tournament, the 13th Salik Open and lost in the final of two others: the LTA International Junior Tournament – Bisham Abbey and the 11th Malaysian International Junior Championships. All three of these were in 1999 and all three were partnering Elena Baltacha. Her career-high doubles ranking was world No.93 (achieved 2 January, 2001) and her doubles win–loss record was 27–34.^[23]

[edit] 1998–2001

Anne played her first professional match on the ITF circuit in April 1998 when she fell in the first round of qualifying for the $10,000 tournament in Birmingham. That year she played only two more matches (in the qualifying tournaments for the $10,000 ITF events in Hatfield and Felixstowe) and lost both of them. She finished the year without a world ranking.^[24]

During May 1999, Anne played in a total of five ITF tournaments with her best result being in the $10,000 event in Sunderland where she won three matches to qualify and then reached the second round. In the other four events, she either lost in the first round or qualifying stages. Her final ranking of the year was world No.702.^[24]

In 2000, Keothavong played ten ITF tournaments, losing in the qualifying stages in one, round one in three others, the second round four times (once as a lucky loser) and the quarterfinal in the $50,000 tournament in Cardiff. The other tournament she entered was the qualifying event for Wimbledon in which she participated courtesy of a wild card. She beat Eva Martincova in round one of qualifying, 7–5 6–3, before losing to Yuka Yoshida, 2–6 2–6. She improved her ranking to world No.377.^[24]

2001 started well for Anne; in her first tournament of the year she won the title by beating compatriot Emily Webley-Smith in the quarterfinals and Elodie Le Bescond, 6–3 6–2, in the final. She then reached the quarterfinals of her next tournament, the $10,000 event in Tipton. In February she reached the semifinals in Sutton ($25,000) as a qualifier. She played in the Fed Cup for the first time in April and lost all three of her singles rubbers in straight sets. In June she was given wild cards into the qualifying draws for the DFS Classic (where she was beaten in the first round of qualifying) and the Britannic Asset Management International Championships (where she reached the second round of qualifying) and the main draw of Wimbledon. She faced Janet Lee in round one and lost, 6–2 4–6 3–6. In September and October she reached three ITF quarterfinals (one $50,000, one $25,000 and one $10,000) and one semifinal ($25,000). Her world ranking at the end of 2001 was world No.268.^[24]

[edit] 2002

Anne's 2002 season started slowly; she played in thirteen ITF tournaments and didn't pass the second round in any. In June, she was given a wild card into the qualifying draw for the DFS Classic where she lost in round one. She also attempted to qualify for the Britannic Asset Management International Championships and was again beaten in the first round. She next competed in the main draw of Wimbledon where in the first round, she lost to Virginie Razzano, 3–6 6–7⁽⁵⁾.^[25] Immediately after Wimbledon she headed to Felixstowe to participate in a $25,000 ITF tournament where she reached the quarterfinals. In August and September, she reached four consecutive ITF finals, winning three. She won the first in Bath beating Hannah Collin, 6–0 7–6⁽⁵⁾. She was victorious in London when she defeated Yvonne Doyle, 6–4 7–6⁽¹⁾, but lost in the third final, in Glasgow, 6–7⁽⁵⁾ 6–2 6–7⁽⁸⁾, to Selima Sfar. In Sunderland, the fourth consecutive final of August and September, she won by again beating Hannah Collin, 6–0 6–1. She competed in three more $25,000 ITF tournaments that year and reached the semifinals in two of them. Her final ranking of 2002 was world No.233.^[24]

[edit] 2003

The first tournament of 2003 for Anne was the qualifying event for the Moorilla Hobart International where she lost to Tiffany Dabek in the first round. Keothavong then headed to the Australian Open in order to attempt to qualify and she again lost in the first round to Sandra Kloesel. After this she headed to the ITF circuit and won the $25,000 event in Belfort by defeating Nathalie Vierin in the final, 5–7 7–6⁽³⁾ 6–4. Two weeks later she reached the quarterfinals of a $25,000 ITF in Redbridge and the week after that lost in the final of yet another $25,000 ITF in Ostrava. In March she reached the quarterfinals of Redding ($25,000) and in April she headed to Portugal to represent Great Britain in the Fed Cup. She won two of her four singles rubbers. May saw Anne reach the second round of qualifying for the French Open. In her next tournament (Surbiton $25,000) she reached the semifinals but had to withdraw before the match. Keothavong did not compete again until mid-June when she was given a wild card into the main draw of the Hastings Direct International where she was defeated by Japanese veteran, Ai Sugiyama. A second consecutive wild card gave her entry into the main draw of Wimbledon where she had to withdraw during her first round match against Katarina Srebotnik with the score at 2–6 0–4. After Wimbledon she reached the final round of qualifying for the US Open to Maureen Drake, 5–7 1–6, but had no more notable results that year. She finished the year with a singles ranking of world No.177.^[24]

[edit] 2004

2004 began well for Anne as she started of by successfully qualifying for the tier V, Moorilla Hobart International, beating Kaia Kanepi along the way. In the first round she faced world No.69, Rita Grande, from Italy but was beaten, 7–6⁽²⁾ 2–6 3–6. This was followed by an attempt to qualify for the first Grand Slam of the season, the Australian Open. She was beaten in the first round of qualifying by Stephanie Gehrlein. In February she reached the quarterfinals of ITF events in Sunderland ($25,000) and St Paul ($50,000), beaten by Lisa Stanciute and Jill Craybas respectively. The next month she won the sixth ITF title of her career by beating Mashona Washington, 6–3 2–6 7–6⁽³⁾, in the final of the $25,000 event in Redding. In late April and early May, she represented Britain in the Fed Cup and won all three of her singles rubbers, but lost her one and only doubles match with partner, Elena Baltacha, before going on to lose in the first round of qualifying for the French Open to Kveta Peschke. In the run up to Wimbledon, Anne was given a wild card into the main draw of the DFS Classic where in the first round she faced, world No.60, Marta Marrero, who she managed to beat in three sets, 6–1 5–7 7–6⁽⁴⁾. Keothavong came up against world No.56, Maria Sanchez Lorenzo (the 16th seed) in the second round and lost 3–6 6–4 4–6. She headed to the main draw of the Hastings International Direct, a tier II event after whis and faced No.8 seed, Magdalena Maleeva and was again beaten, 7–5 1–6 1–6. A wild card granted Anne entry to the main draw of Wimbledon for the fourth consecutive year but for the first time, she was able to capitalise on it by winning her first round match. She demolished Nicole Pratt, the world No.41, in the first round, 6–3 6–1, in an impressive performance which was helped along by a rain delay when Keothavong was 3–1 down in the first set.^[6] The eventual champion, Maria Sharapova, beat her in the second round, 4–6 0–6.^[7] After Wimbledon, Anne played in two $50,000 ITF event in the United States reaching the second round in one and the quarterfinals in the second, in Lexington where she had to withdraw due to sustaining serious ligament damage^[26] with the score at 5–7 3–5. She did not play again that year and finished the year with a ranking of world No.175.^[24]

[edit] 2005

Anne recovered well from her injury and returned to action ahead of schedule in March at the $10,000 ITF tournament in Sunderland where she suffered a three set, first round defeat to Verdiana Verardi. She then immediately reached three successive $10,000 ITF finals; the first in Bolton and the second two in Bath. She won the first two by beating Veronika Chvojkova and Claire Peterzan respectively and lost the third to compatriot, Melanie South, 4–6 6–4 4–6. The first of the two tournaments in Bath was also the only time Anne competed with her sister, Lena, in doubles on the ITF tour. They reached the quarterfinals together. In late April, Anne competed in the Fed Cup and helped Britain avoid relegation from the Africa/Europe Zone Group I by beating Caroline Wozniacki to help Britain beat Denmark. This meant that although they lost ties against Serbia and Montenegro and Slovenia, they avoided a place in the relegation play-offs for another year.^[27] In May she reached the semifinals of a $25,000 ITF event in Monzón where she lost to Angelique Kerber, 1–6 6–3 3–6. She was then given a wild card into the main draw of the DFS Classic where she lost to Laura Granville, 2–6 0–6, in the first round. The was followed by a wild card into the Hastings Direct International qualifying tournament where Arantxa Parra Santonja defeated her in the first round. After this, another wild card allowed Anne entry into the main draw of the Wimbledon Championships where she faced Mariana Diaz Oliva in the first round and lost in straight sets, 3–6 4–6.

After Wimbledon, Anne competed on the ITF circuit for the rest of the year (except when she reached the second round of the tier III event, the Bell Challenge, where she lost to Sofia Arvidsson, 3–6 1–6) and won two more titles. The first was in Nottingham, a $10,000 event, where she beat Karen Paterson in a three set final, 1–6 7–6⁽⁴⁾ 6–4, and the second was a $25,000 tournament in Lagos where she defeated Masa Zec Peskiric to win the title. She also reached one more $25,000 ITF final this year, also in Lagos, where she lost to Petra Cetkovská in three sets. Her year-end ranking for 2005 was world No.239.^[24]

[edit] 2006

Anne started her 2006 season by losing in the first round of qualifying for the Brisbane International (tier III), the final round of qualifying for the Moorilla Hobart International (tier IV) and the second round of qualifying for the Australian Open. In February, Keothavong returned to Britain and reached the final of the ITF tournament in Jersey where she beat Ana Vrljic, 6–2 6–2, to win the title. She then entered the $25,000 ITF tournament in Sunderland where she beat four compatriots; Melanie South, Rebecca Llewellyn, Sarah Coles and Katie O'Brien in straight sets to reach the final where she was beaten by Elise Tamaela. Later in February, Anne reached the quarterfinals of an ITF tournament in Orange ($25,000) and one month later, in March, she reached another ITF final, again $25,000. In April she reached the semifinals of the $25,000 ITF event in Patras and competed for Great Britain in the Fed Cup where she won one of her three singles rubbers. She qualified for the Internationaux de Strasbourg, a tier III tournament, where she lost to Anna Smashnova in the first round.

Keothavong competed in four tournaments in June: a $25,000 event in Surbiton, the DFS Classic, the Hastings Direct Championships and Wimbledon. She was beaten by Laura Granville in the semifinals, Eleni Danilidou in round one, Vera Dushevina in the first round and Karolina Sprem in the first round respectively. During her American hard court season, she reached the quarterfinals of a $50,000 ITF tournament in Lexington where she fell to Camille Pin of France. In August, Anne lost in the first round of qualifying for the US Open and followed this up with three consecutive first round losses in WTA events. She then returned to the ITF circuit playing $25,000 tournaments and won one more title, in Prerov. She also reached two semifinals (Glasgow and Opole) and a quarterfinal in Jersey. She ended the season with her world ranking at No.168.^[24]

[edit] 2007

The 2007 season began in the same way as the 2006 for Anne; she again started her year by falling in qualifying for the WTA events in the Moorilla Hobart International and the Australian Open. In February she reached two consecutive ITF semifinals in Tipton ($25,000) and St. Paul ($50,000) before going on to lose in qualifying for the Cellular South Cup and in qualifying for Indian Wells in March. Keothavong again represented her country in the Fed Cup in April and won one of her three singles matches. In May she reached the semifinals of an ITF $25,000 in Antalya and lost in the second round of the French Open qualifying tournament to Maria Emilia Salerni, 1–6 4–6. As in 2006, June saw Keothavong lose in the first round of the DFS Classic, the Hastings Direct International and Wimbledon after she was given a wild card into each of these events. Elena Baltacha was her conqueror in the Hastings Direct whereas Jelena Jankovic was the one who showed her dominance over Anne in Wimbledon, beating her, 2–6 0-6.

After Wimbledon Anne reached two consecutive finals of $50,000 ITFs in Lexington and Vancouver, facing Stéphanie Dubois in the finals of both and winning once. Following this she lost in qualifying for the Rogers Cup, the US Open and Bali before going on to reach her first ever WTA Tour semifinal in the Sunfeast Open, a tier III tournament held in Kolkata. She did this by defeating Sara Errani, 6–4 6–4,^[28] in the first round, Sunitha Rao in round two, 6–3 6–2,^[29] and Tzipi Obziler in the quarterfinals, 6–1 6–3.^[30] She lost to Mariya Koryttseva in the semifinals, 6–7⁽³⁾ 3–6. In October she reached the quarterfinals of the $25,000 ITF in Rockhampton and her year-ending singles ranking was world No.122.^[24]

[edit] 2008

Anne's 2008 campaign began when Anne failed to qualify for the tier II tournament, the Medibank International. She then attempted to qualify for the Australian Open and won her first match against Jorgelina Cravero^[31] before losing her second to Monica Niculescu^[32]. February saw her join compatriots, Melanie South, Katie O'Brien and Elena Baltacha, to represent Britain in the 2008 Fed Cup. Despite Anne winning each of her three singles matches in the round robin stage, Britain was forced to fight relegation from the Europe/Africa Group I by playing Portugal. They won 2–0 thanks to yet another victory in singles from Anne and a singles victory from O'Brien.^[33] For the remainder of February, Keothavong competed on the ITF circuit and reached the quarterfinals of a $25,000 event in Stockholm and won a $25,000 title in Capriolo. In early April she lost in the final of a $50,000 ITF; this one in Patra where Magdalena Rybarikova defeated her in straight sets, 3–6 5–7. Continuing competition on the ITF tour, she won a $50,000 ITF in Jounieh, Lebanon, despite break outs of fighting between Shia and Hezbollah militia less than ten miles away in Beirut. This tournament win propelled Anne into the top 100 for the first time in her career and guaranteed her a place in the main draw of Wimbledon for the first time in her career; the first time a British woman had entered Wimbledon on merit since 1999.^[34] She then fell in the first round of qualifying for the French Open before reaching another $50,000 ITF final (in Surbiton).

In the run up to Wimbledon, Anne lost in the first round of the DFS Classic to Kateryna Bondarenko and in the first round of the Ordina Open to Sara Errani. In her first round match in Wimbledon, she faced American, Vania King, and lost the first set 4–6. She regrouped during a toilet break at the end of the first set and came back to win the match, 4–6 6–2 6–3, despite being 2–0 down in the deciding set.^[8] She then lost to the eventual champion, Venus Williams, in the second round, 5–7 2–6.^[9] After Wimbledon Anne made a successful start to her American hard court season by winning three matches to qualify for the tier II event in Stanford. She then defeated Sania Mirza, 7–6⁽⁴⁾ 6–1, in the first round before giving Marion Bartoli a tough time in round two in a match which she eventually lost, 3–6 6–1 5–7. In August she entered the US Open for the first time in her career and faced Alexa Glatch in round one. She won the match, 6–2 6–2,^[3] and then went on to beat Francesca Schiavone in the second round in three sets, 6–2 3–6 6–4.^[4] However No.5 seed, Elena Dementieva, proved to much for Keothavong in the third round; Anne lost 3–6 4–6.^[5] After the US Open, Anne won two more ITF events: Barnstaple ($50,000) and Kraków ($100,000) and as a result, her year end ranking was world No.61.^[24]

[edit] 2009

Anne began her 2009 season by launching her official website, www.annekeothavong.co.uk, before heading to the ASB Classic where she reached the semifinals. En route she defeated Mirjana Lucic, No.8 seed Carla Suarez Navarro and Ayumi Morita before falling in a three hour, three set battle to Elena Vesnina, 7-6⁽³⁾ 1-6 5-7.^[35] This was only the second time in her career that she reached the semifinals of a WTA Tour event. Anne then competed in the Moorilla Hobart International where she faced a tough draw in round one against world No.25, Ágnes Szávay. Nevertheless Anne came through without too much difficulty, beating Szávay, 6-3 7-5.^[36] She lost, 6-4 0-6 5-7, to Virginie Razzano in the second round. Anne then headed to the main draw of the Australian Open for the first time in her career where she came up against Anna Chakvetadze, who was the 17th seed. She lost, 1-6 7-6⁽⁴⁾ 1-6, in a controversial match where a mistake by the umpire allowed Chakvetadze to serve first in the final set, an advantage which should have gone to Keothavong.^[37] Anne was the fourth seed in her next tournament, the Cellular South Cup, and she followed up on this seeding by reaching the semifinals of a WTA event for the second time in 2009. She defeated Maria Elena Camerin, Michelle Larcher de Brito and No.5 seed Marina Erakovic on the way to being demolished by top seed Caroline Wozniacki in the semifinals, 1-6 0-6.^[38] Despite this crushing defeat, a semifinal run was enough to help Anne make the hop from world No.52 to world No.48, her debut in the top 50.^[39] Anne then endured three consecutive first round defeats in the BNP Paribas Open^[40], the Sony Ericsson Open^[41] (both Premier Mandatory tournaments) and a $100,000 ITF tournament in Tourhout, Belgium, where she was forced to retire due to a viral illness.^[42]

Following this, Keothavong began her clay court season by defeating Maret Ani to reach the second round of the Grand Prix SAR La Princesse Lalla Meryem^[43] where she was defeated by Lourdes Dominguez Lino, 4-6 7-5 6-3. This was followed by another first round defeat in a Premier event in the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, this one at the hands of Carla Suarez Navarro. In the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open she beat Mariana Duque Marino in round one^[44] before losing to Lucie Safarova in the second round. In her very next tournament she reached the fourth WTA Tour semifinal of her career and her third in 2009 in the Warsaw Open. She faced No.7 seed, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, in round one, American veteran Jill Craybas in the second round, qualifier Ioana Raluca Olaru in the quarterfinals and was beaten by 8th seed Alona Bondarenko in the semifinals. Nevertheless, in reaching the semifinals she became the first British woman to reach the semifinals of a WTA clay court event since Jo Durie reached the semis of the 1983 French Open, 26 years before.^[2] She then came up against reigning World No.1, Dinara Safina, in the first round of the French Open and endured the dreaded "double bagel" when she was defeated, 0-6 0-6.^[45] Anne began her grass court season on home turf with a 6-2 6-2 victory over Sofia Arvidsson in the first round of the AEGON Classic before losing to eventual semifinalist, Sania Mirza, in round two.^[46] She was then defeated in the first round of the AEGON International by world No.28, Sybille Bammer, but saw off a mugger in central London who tried to snatch her handbag^[47] before heading to Wimbledon where she experienced a disappointing first round loss to world No.80, Patricia Mayr.^[48]

After this, Anne played the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, California, where she lost in the opening round of the singles to Elena Dementieva 6-1 6-4. Anne also played in the doubles with Ayumi Morita against Julie Coin and Marie-Eve Pelletier, trailing 4-6 5-3 when she attempted to run down a dropshot and, in trying to avoid a collision with the net post, suffered a serious knee injury, rupturing her left anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus, a similar injury to the one she suffered in 2004 in her right knee. This injury ended Anne's year and she plans to be back in early 2010.
