No one can beat Tsvetana Pironkova in the cool and composed department here in Wimbledon 2011. She looks fragile because of her slim figure, but she is very poised even when she gives those funky hits of her, those strange returns of serves which she does in impossible angles. Her opponent in the quarterfinal, Petra Kvitova, who was really powerful, had to deal with all those and I personally thought Kvit would push Pironkova off the court! But that did not happen. They had to fight in 3 sets and Pironkova kept coming up with shots that allowed her to be a contender, till the last point.
Pironkova also holds the enviable record of winning over the legendary Venus Williams twice - and in Wimbledon, to boot! Not everyone can boast that!
