  Palermo, 2009:

    On Sunday in Palermo, Italy, in the final of the Internazionali Femminili Snai Open, 27-year-old top-seeded #15 (and Italian #1) Flavia Pennetta of Italy (residence: Verbier, Switzerland) defeated her compatriot, the 2008 Palermo champion, 22-year-old 5th-seeded #38 Sara Errani from Bologna, Italy, 6-1, 6-2 (Flavia is shown holding the hardware after the match).

    Flavia's prize is $37,000; Sara's is $19,000.

    Last month in 's-Hertogenbosch, Flavia and Sara teamed up to win the doubles title. In singles, Flavia and Sara had met twice before. In the semifinals in Acapulco in 2007, Flavia defeated Sara 6-2, 6-4. But last year, in the Palermo semis, Sara, on her way to her first WTA title, defeated Flavia 7-5, 6-3.

    Flavia is now 7-9 in WTA singles finals; she won the Vina del Mar and Acapulco titles last year. Flavia is 32-16 in matches this season.
    Sara is now 2-1 in WTA singles finals; she won both her titles last year, in Palermo and Portoroz. Sara has a 17-19 match record in 2009.

  Prague, 2009:

    Meanwhile in Prague, Czech Republic, in the final of the ECM Prague Open, 29-year-old 2nd-seeded #30 Sybille Bammer from Linz, Austria, defeated 29-year-old top-seeded #28 Francesca Schiavone of Italy (residence: London, England), 7-6(4), 6-2 (Sybille is also shown with the goodies after the match).

    Sybille's prize is $37,000; Francesca's is $19,000. Due to rain on Saturday, both players had to play their semifinals on Sunday morning. Sybille, who had been leading 3rd-seeded #31 Iveta Benesova 3-0 when the rain stopped play on Saturday, defeated Iveta 6-0, 7-5. Francesca had to spend more time oncourt, defeating qualifier #115 Timea Bacsinszky 6-2, 4-6, 7-5.

    Sybille and Francesca had met twice before; both of their previous meetings were last year on hardcourts. In the 2nd round at Dubai Francesca defeated Sybille 6-3, 6-2. But on an indoor hardcourt in the 1st round in her hometown, Linz, Sybille defeated Francesca, 7-5, 6-3.

    Sybille is now 2-0 in WTA singles finals; she won her first title at Pattaya City, Thailand, in 2007. Sybille has a 14-12 match record this year.
    Francesca is now 1-9 in WTA singles finals; she won her title at Bad Gastein last year. Wimbledon quarterfinalist Francesca has a 24-17 match record in 2009.
