On Saturday in Belgium, in the final of the Brussels Ladies Open, this year's champion at Dubai, Indian Wells and Charleston, 20 year old top seeded #1 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco), defeated a semifinalist this year at Auckland and Hobart, 25 year old 8th seeded #31 (career high: #29) Shuai Peng from Tian Jin, China, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 (Caro is shown holding the hardware after the match). Caroline's prize is $103,000; Shuai's is $55,000.     Caroline said: "I was pleased with the way I played and fought today. I'm happy to be the first winner of this tournament. It's a beautiful city and the crowd has been great all week. Now I'm looking forward to Roland Garros." WTA story     Shuai is playing very well this year. She won the Rome doubles title last week partnered with Jie Zheng, and reached the Brussels final by defeating #3 Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-3, her first win over Vera in the eight times they have played.     Shuai said: "I'm really happy to have reached the final here, and to play so many good matches on the clay. I played really well in the first set today, but then Caroline fought and came back... I'm really looking forward to Paris."     Caroline now leads Shuai 3-1 in career matches. Their prior match was their only previous meeting on clay. That was in 2009, in the 3rd round on the Har-Tru green clay in Charleston, when Caro defeated Shuai 6-3, 6-4.     2009 US Open finalist Caroline is now 16-10 in WTA singles finals; this year she won in February at Dubai, in March at Indian Wells, and in April at Charleston. Caroline has a 38-7 singles match record in 2011.     Shuai is now 0-4 in WTA singles finals; she reached the finals at Guangzhou and Forest Hills in 2008 and at Strasbourg in 2006. Shuai has a 34-12 singles match record this season.

    Meanwhile in France, in the final of the Internationaux de Strasbourg, a semifinalist this year at Miami (and 2011 Australian Open quarterfinalist), 23-year-old 2nd seeded #15 (career-high: #15, German #1) Andrea Petkovic from Darmstadt, Germany, won the unfun way, defeating the 2009 champ at Stanford & Monterrey, 26-year-old 15th seeded #17 (career-high: #9) Marion Bartoli of France (residence: Geneva, Switzerland), 6-4, 1-0 retired when Marion could not continue due to a left thigh injury (Andrea is shown during the match, and with the rather diminutive glassware afterward). Andrea's prize is $37,000; Marion's is $19,000.

    Andrea said "It's always a strange feeling when someone retires because you feel happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy to win the title and the points—we're all in a rush for points during the year! But I was sad to end there because I was playing really well. I also feel sad for Marion—I really like her, she's a really nice girl. I had a bad injury in 2008 so I know how it feels.
    "I'm glad I made the decision to come here. I wasn't playing well in Madrid or Rome, but I've gained a lot of confidence from this week. I've played five matches here and I feel more than ready for Roland Garros." WTA story

    Marion said "I felt [the injury] right away, but after 2-0 it increased a lot. I called the trainer at 4-5 but even with that it wasn't improving at all."
    About the French Open, French #1 Marion said "Well, the time for recovery is really short, just one day after tomorrow, because I am playing on Monday. I'd say it's time to pray for a miracle. But I guess having a dad as a doctor is very helpful. He is the most important person for me to talk to and find out if I can play. Hopefully I can get through my first match on Monday, just fight through it, and then I can hope for another day of recovery and hopefully I'll be alright to continue after that."

    Marion led Andrea 2-1 in previous matches. Their prior meeting was earlier this year in the 3rd round on a Plexipave hardcourt at Indian Wells, when Marion defeated Petko 6-4, 6-2.

    Andrea is now 2-2 in WTA singles finals; she won the Bad Gastein title in 2009, and reached the finals at Brisbane this year and at 's-Hertogenbosch in 2010. Andrea has a 29-9 singles match record this year.

    2007 Wimbledon finalist Marion is now 5-8 in WTA singles finals; she reached the Indian Wells final this year (losing to #1 Caroline Wozniacki), but has not won a title since 2009. Marion has a 27-14 singles match record in 2011.

Their only prior match on red clay took place last year in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, when Francesca, on her way to the title, defeated Caroline 6-2, 6-3.     Francesca said: "Caroline has a lot of big qualities—she has been No.1 for a long time now. I'll have to play really well to beat her. Both of us are playing very relaxed and just trying to improve our form with a big Grand Slam coming... I'll need to run a lot, but it's okay—it's my job." #31 s8 Shuai Peng CHN d #77 Sofia Arvidsson SWE 6-2, 6-4 Sofia lining up a forehand, and Shuai following a backhand     Shuai said: "I won and lost against Sofia before, so I knew how she played and knew she was very tough. She hits the ball hard, so I had to handle her power and try to control the rallies when I could, and make her move too. I was a little bit tight when she broke me in the second set, but I'm happy I won."
