Anna-Lena Grönefeld (born June 4, 1985 in Nordhorn , Lower Saxony ) is a former German tennis player .

Career

The beginnings

Grönefeld began playing tennis at the age of five. In 2003 she decided to leave Nordhorn and attend Rafael Font de Mora's tennis academy in Scottsdale , Arizona . Her training there was financed by her supplier Adidas , the German Tennis Association and the Lower Saxony Tennis Association. Shortly afterwards she won the Roland Garros junior competition . In the 2003 season, Grönefeld was world number one for juniors (singles and doubles).

She won seven ITF singles titles and became a professional player in April 2003. She celebrated her greatest success before her breakthrough in July 2004 at the WTA tournament in Palermo , when she reached the quarter-finals there.

2005 season - the breakthrough

Moving into the final at the WTA tournament in Pattaya , which she lost in three sets to Conchita Martínez , her participation in the semi-finals at the WTA event in Stanford in July and the finals in Beijing and Luxembourg in September brought Grönefeld far up in the world rankings. She reached the third round at the Australian Open, the French Open and the US Open.

Grönefeld won her first WTA title in doubles in February together with Marion Bartoli at the Pattaya tournament . In Wimbledon and at the US Open , she played alongside Martina Navrátilová , with whom she reached the semifinals. In Montreal , she won her first Tier I doubles title with Navratilova. She secured her third double title on the WTA Tour in September in Bali alongside Meghann Shaughnessy . With Tommy Haas she formed the German team at the Hopman Cup 2005. There she won one of three individual encounters against Gisela Dulko . Due to an injury to Haas, they had to give up against Argentina.

At her last tournament in Moscow in 2005 , Grönefeld led in the second round against Marija Sharapova 6: 1 and 4: 2 when she twisted and had to give up. In August 2005 it made it into the top 30 of the world rankings for the first time, and in October it was already among the 20 best. For the first time after Anke Huber , Germany was again represented with a player in the top 20.

2006 season

After the injury break, there were initially setbacks. At the Hopman Cup, this time with Nicolas Kiefer , Grönefeld was unable to match last year's form. After she was eliminated in the second round of singles at the Australian Open , she reached the semi-finals with doubles partner Shaughnessy. She then went on to play in Ortisei in Val Gardena as the best-placed player who had ever taken part in an ITF tournament, and lost in the first round to the 161 places lower placed qualifier Aravane Rezaï .

At the beginning of March Grönefeld struck back when she won both singles (against Flavia Pennetta in three sets) and doubles (again with Shaughnessy) on her favorite surface sand in Acapulco . At the subsequent tournament in Indian Wells she reached a quarter-finals for the first time on the tour, and a few weeks later in Charleston the first WTA semi-finals. There she failed at number 2 on the seeding list, Nadja Petrowa , after she was able to beat Svetlana Kuznetsova , who was seeded 4 in the quarter-finals . After weaker appearances at the beginning of the European clay court season, Grönefeld found its way back to its old strength at the end of May and reached the semi-finals in Istanbul . On her 21st birthday, she then moved into the quarter-finals of the French Open , which she lost to defending champion Justine Henin 5-7, 2-6.

In Eastbourne she reached the quarterfinals of a lawn tournament for the first time in her career. After three match balls she lost 7: 5, 5: 7, 6: 7 against Svetlana Kuznetsova. In Wimbledon, she lost to Tsvetana Pironkowa 6: 3, 3: 6, 1: 6. After a first round defeat at the US Open (6: 2, 0: 6, 4: 6 against Rezaï), she finally separated from her trainer Font de Mora. But it didn't go much better at first - only one victory followed after the split. In a very short time she gained weight and finished the season in 19th place.

2007 season

By the end of February, Grönefeld had an individual balance of 1: 6, only at the Australian Open she could win a match. After first round defeats in Antwerp , Dubai and Doha , there was a seven-week break from the tournament; it fell back to 45th place in the world rankings. Then she played in the second world group for the German Fed Cup team , which defeated Croatia 4-1. Grönefeld won both singles, against Ivana Lisjak in three sets, against Jelena Kostanić Tošić 6: 3, 6: 4. At the tournament in Warsaw she lost after a first round success over Kaia Kanepi in the round of 16 of the world number one Henin. In Berlin she was eliminated against Shahar Peer in the first round, as well as in Rome and Istanbul. The series of bankruptcies continued at the French Open, where she lost to Mathilde Johansson in two sets in round one . She fell out of the top 100 and also in Eastbourne came against Lucie Šafářová in the opening match.

It went better in doubles; right at the beginning of the season she won the WTA tournament in Sydney alongside Shaughnessy . At the Australian Open they made it to the quarter-finals, in Doha to the semi-finals. The series of defeats in singles initially continued at Wimbledon. The 22-year-old lost to qualifier Nika Ozegovic 3: 6, 2: 6 in her opening match and thus suffered her eleventh first round defeat in 2007. She landed her first victory since Warsaw in Bad Gastein 6: 4, 2: 6, 6: 0 over Roberta Vinci . In the round of 16, she lost 4: 6, 6: 1 and 6: 7 to María José Martínez Sánchez despite three match points . In Stockholm she won her first round match 6-0, 6-2 against Iveta Benešová and failed again in the second round to Pironkowa. On November 26th, Grönefeld took part in an ITF tournament and also lost there in the first round against the 400 places behind her noted Ana Savic.

2008 season

When she made her comeback on May 3rd in Zagreb, she lost her opening match at the ITF tournament there after winning three qualifying rounds. The following tournament in Zlín (Czech Republic), however, she was able to win with a final victory over Jelena Kostanić Tošić. The next two ITF titles followed in Alkmaar, where they left Marlot Meddens no chance at 6: 1, 6: 1 in the final, and in Périgueux , where they beat Florence Haring 6: 3, 6: 3.

At the beginning of August, Grönefeld won the ITF tournament in Rimini. Then she lost to the resurgent Jelena Bowina in the final of the GHI Bronx Tennis Classic in New York.

After surviving the qualification she showed her strength again in the main draw of the US Open , when she beat Daniela Hantuchová, who was seeded 11th, 6: 4, 6: 2, against Jessica Moore, who started with a wildcard, 6: 1, 6: 3 and the young Alizé Cornet won 6-4 and 7-5.

She received a wildcard for the tournament in Stuttgart, but lost to Venus Williams in round one .

training

When Grönefeld won the Junior French Open in 2003, she decided, with the consent of her parents, to train at the tennis academy of the former tennis professional Rafael Font de Mora in Scottsdale (Arizona). The collaboration, which later resulted in a management contract, was associated with sporting success, but also with great hardships that Grönefeld no longer wanted to accept. In 2006, Font de Mora ended the collaboration after the US Open and the athlete crashed, also because of overweight and lack of fitness.

Grönefeld has been working with the former Saarland association coach and former tennis professional Dirk Dier since October 2006 (apart from a short break from July to October 2010) .
