Discovering Mona Barthel
As of December last year, I haven't actually heard of Mona Barthel yet but in just a span of a few weeks, she has reached the Top 50, won her first maiden title in Hobart, and reached the third round of the Australian Open, defeating veteran Anne Keothavong and a seeded Czech player, Petra Cetkovska (#32). However, the luck of the draw did not shine on her as she met Victoria Azarenka on the third round. Yet even then, she won six games against Victoria and I'm sure she learned a lot from that match. I won't be surprised if she starts to assault the Top 30 by year end.
