Justine said: "I lost a little bit of my intensity in the second set when I was ahead 2-0; things were coming a little too easy, and I lost my focus. But at the end of the match I got my intensity back and was able to step into the court again...
"It was hard yesterday [waiting to play during the rain]; it's a bit sad when you have to play a final on Monday morning, but I'm really happy to have won my second title here. It's good preparation for the rest of the clay court season. I hope I can keep playing like this and get a few more matches in me before the French." WTA story
Alona said: "It was my first time playing Justine. I was nervous in the first set, but then I started playing better.... I enjoyed my experience, reaching the final and playing Justine, but next time, I hope to play better. I'll talk this over with my coach and sister, who were watching the match, and we'll figure something out."
Justine and Alona had never before met on the field of combat.
Justine is now 32-16 in WTA singles finals, winning her most recent titles earlier this year in Doha and Dubai. Three of Justine's five Grand Slam tourney titles have come at Roland Garros, on red clay, her favorite surface. Justine's match record thus far in 2007 is 19-2.
Alona is now 1-2 in WTA singles finals; she won her title last year at Luxembourg, which like Warsaw is a Tier II tourney, but indoors. Alona's match record in 2007 is 10-7, with four of those victories in the past week, during which she played very well.
On Sunday in Estoril, Portugal, in the final of the Estoril Open, 28-year-old qualifier # 173 Greta Arn of Germany (residence: Budapest, Hungary) defeated 17-year-old unseeded # 68 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus (residence: Scottsdale, Arizona), 2-6, 6-1, 7-6(3) (Greta is shown with the glassware after the match).
Greta said: "I won today with my experience. I tried to give [Victoria] the balls she wouldn't like, high balls to keep her out of rhythm. She is young and she made some mistakes that an older, more experienced player probably wouldn't make." WTA story
Victoria said: "[Greta] was very consistent and tough and got me out of my game. I am disappointed; I can't bring it back, though I wish I could. I was so nervous because it was my first chance for a title. I need experience on how to handle it."
Victoria and Greta had never played each other before, and both were playing in their first WTA singles final. Greta has won 4 ITF singles titles and 4 ITF doubles titles. Victoria has won 1 WTA doubles title, 1 ITF singles title, and 3 ITF doubles titles, and also won the juniors singles at the 2005 Australian and US Opens.

WTA SCOREBOARD: Warsaw & Estoril
J&S Cup, Warsaw, Poland
a rib stress fracture, helped out with the main draw... On Monday, last year's Warsaw champ Kim Clijsters, out to practice, was apparently thinking about how much she likes playing on clay... also on Monday, Tsvetana Pironkova looked good despite the cool weather while winning her qualifying final, and Anna Chakvetadze, after winning her 1st round match, celebrated by singing the Theme from Star Wars on Polish TV, translating the complex Bill Murray lyrics into Polish on the spot... against Tathiana Garbin... on Tuesday, Kim Clijsters came a-runnin' when she heard that Nadia Petrova was signing autographs (she's always wanted one)... and in other Wednesday operations, Jelena Jankovic practiced cooking with Tour sponsor Whirlpool's fine products, Elena Dementieva applied her Ivana Henryova for the fans (she'd better save one for Kim), and top seed Justine Henin got ready for Thursday, and her first match since Miami in March... |
