About the close 1st set, Vera said: "I was just trying to find my game. [Meghann] was playing really well and attacking my serve right away. ... Once I hit a couple of good shots, I was OK." MemCommApp story free reg req
Meghann said: "I lost a little intensity... It was a good week. I really feel like I played some good tennis. I'm disappointed I didn't keep it together for the finals... I didn't serve well at all. And [Vera] played pretty well. When I'm playing well is when I'm intense and serving and looking for my forehand. Without that, it changes the whole momentum."
On Sunday in the final in Bogota, 2nd-seeded 23-years-old-this-Friday # 35 Flavia Pennetta defeated 23-year-old qualifier # 193 Lourdes Dominguez Lino from Barcelona, Spain, 7-6(4), 6-4 (Flavia is shown after match point).
Antwerp:
Top-seeded 25-year-old # 4 Amelie Mauresmo of France defeated 4th-seeded 24-year-old # 8 Venus Williams of the US in the Antwerp final on Sunday. Venus still leads Amelie 5-3 in career matches-- but Amelie's 3 wins were the last 3 times they played.
24-year-old Amelie Mauresmo was born in St. Germains en Laye, France and has a residence in Geneva, Switzerland. Amelie is now 16-15 in WTA singles finals; she won Tier I titles 2 weeks in a row last year in Berlin and Rome. The Dunlop "300G" bat that Amelie formerly wielded has reportedly been replaced by the new "M-FiL 300" model (so new you might not be able to buy one yet). Amelie wears Nike attire and shoes, and is coached by Loic Courteau. Amelie has said she is going to be working a lot with French former ATP great Yannick Noah to improve her game this year.
Mauresmo career record
24-year-old Venus Williams occasionally picks up her mail at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. She has won her 31 WTA singles titles by being fleet of foot as well as hitting hard and deep; her serve was once clocked at 126 mph, which was the women's record until her sister Serena hit one at 127 mph at Wimbledon in 2004. Venus wears Reebok garb and chops with a Wilson axe, according to the Wilson website a new nCode model called the N4 which is not yet available in stores, but is due to be released in the summer of 2005 (her previous bat, the 27.5" long Hammer H4, had a 113 sq" head, weighed 9.4 oz strung, and was balanced 7 points head heavy). Venus is coached by her father Richard.

Memphis:
Vera now leads Meghann 3-1 in career matches; all 4 of their meetings have gone 3 sets.
20-year-old Vera Zvonareva from Moscow, Russia, has now won 3 WTA singles titles (the others: Bol in 2003, Memphis in 2004) in 6 finals. Like Meghann, Vera wears "The Mark with 3 Stripes" and chops with a Fischer axe, at last report the "Pro Tour FT" model (only about 6 of the WTA top 100 used to use Fischer bats, but the number has been going up). Vera is coached by Julia Kashevarova, who likely wishes Vera would not get so visibly upset with herself when she makes errors.
Zvonareva career record
25-year-old Meghann Shaughnessy from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, had a great year at doubles last year (partnered with Muscovite Nadia Petrova), but her singles game had been slumping lately. Meghann was once ranked # 11 in singles; this tourney will help her move back up a bit. Meghann, who wears adidas, has won 3 WTA singles titles (in 7 finals) and 11 doubles titles in her career. 5' 11" Meghann holds her Fischer bat ("Pro Extreme FT") with a western forehand grip (and a 2-handed backhand), applying plenty of topspin. Meghann is the club pro at Scottsdale, where she is coached by Rafael Font de Mora and practices with Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany.

Bogota:
Flavia & Lourdes had never played before.
Almost-23-year-old Italian Flavia Pennetta now has won 2 WTA singles titles in 4 finals; she won her first last year in Sopot, Poland. She has won 7 ITF singles titles. Born in Brindisi, Flavia resides in Milan. Flavia started playing tennis at age 5. She swings a Head bat and wears Tacchini togs, but with Nike shoes (since Martina Hingis, and earlier, Pete Sampras, cited troubles with Tacchini shoes, a number of players in Tacchini garb have opted for different footwear). Flavia is coached by Barbara Rossi.
Pennetta career record
23-year-old Lourdes Dominguez Lino was playing in her first WTA singles final, but she has won 9 ITF singles titles and a whopping 29 ITF doubles titles. Lourdes was born in Pontevedra, Spain and resides in Barcelona, the Spanish tennis capital (Svetlana Kuznetsova and others travel to train there). She is coached by Miguel Sanchez.
Dominguez Lino career record
Former WTA # 6 Chanda Rubin, whose rank has dropped to # 116 while she has struggled with a recurring left knee injury, was to play her 1st match of the year in Memphis, but was replaced in the main draw by by a "Lucky Loser" (the highest-ranked loser in the qualifying finals) # 167 Edina Gallovits of Romania.
Chanda said: "I was really looking forward to playing here after being off for a few months. I'm just not ready physically to play. I came 4-5 days early to train here so I'm very disappointed that I'm not able to play. I hope to come back next year and compete in Memphis again." WTA story
