On Saturday at Yale University, in the final of the New Haven Open,
the 2008, 2009 and 2010 New Haven champion, 20 year old top seeded #1 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco),
won the title for the 4th straight year, defeating
26 year old qualifier #45 (last week, this week at a career high: #40) Petra Cetkovska from Prostejov, Czech Republic,
6-4, 6-1 (Caroline is shown with the rather petite glassware after the match). Caroline's prize is $103,000; Petra's is $55,000. Caroline struck 1 ace with 4 double faults, and won 63% of her 1st serve points and 48% of her 2nd serve points, while scoring on 6 of the 12 break points she reached against Petra and totaling 67 points. Petra hit 1 ace with 2 DFs, and won 46% of her 1st serve points and 33% of her 2nd serve points, as she converted 3 of the 7 break points she reached against Caroline while scoring 49 points in the match. Caroline now has a 17-0 match record at New Haven. Caroline said: "The balls are good. The tournament is nice. You always play better when you like to be around a tournament. I'm really pleased to be in this situation—win four straight times in a row, it's really unbelievable." AP story Despite the loss, Petra had the best week of her career, defeating #12 Agnieszka Radwanska in the 2nd round, #9 Marion Bartoli in the quarterfinals, and #5 Na Li in the semis. Petra said: "I'm really happy to be here, to go so long, so far in the tournament. Now when we are in the final, we want to always go further. So obviously I wanted to try to win, to do even better. But today it was just a little bit too much. Caroline, she's just playing great." Caroline and Petra had never before met on the field of combat. |
2009 US Open finalist Caroline is now 18-10 in WTA singles finals; this year she won in February at Dubai, in March at Indian Wells, in April at Charleston, in May at Brussels, and in June at Copenhagen before hitting a dry spell. Caroline has a 53-12 singles match record in 2011.
Petra was playing in her first WTA singles final. She has won 21 ITF singles titles, 24 ITF doubles titles, and 1 WTA doubles title. Petra reached the 4th round at Roland Garros in 2008, and the 4th round at Wimbledon this year. She has a 42-17 singles match record this season. Getting to Know Petra Cetkovska
Meanwhile, at Grapevine (near Dallas) on Saturday, in the final of the Texas Tennis Open, this year's champion at Birmingham, 21 year old 5th seeded #22 (career high #22) Sabine Lisicki of Germany (residence: Bradenton, Florida), crushed, killed and destroyed the 2010 Madrid champion, 24 year old qualifier #107 (career high: #15) Aravane Rezai from St. Etienne, France, 6-2, 6-1 (Sabine is shown after match point).
Sabine lost only 13 games in 5 matches during the week. Sabine's prize is $37,000; Aravane's is $19,000.
Sabine struck 3 aces with 1 double fault, and won 85% of her 1st serve points and 83% of her 2nd serve points, while scoring on 4 of the 5 break points she reached against Aravane and totaling 57 points.
Aravane hit 1 ace with 4 DFs, and won 60% of her 1st serve points and 35% of her 2nd serve points, and never reached a break point against Sabine while scoring 29 points in the match.
Sabine said: "I really had to hang in there in the beginning. Aravane's a tough player. You can't have any letdowns or else she'll play very well—she can really go for her shots. I had to make sure I went for mine today." WTA story
Sabine now leads Aravane are 2-1 in career matches. They had not met since 2009, when, on a hardcourt in round robin play in Bali, Aravane defeated Sabine 1-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Sabine is now 3-2 in WTA singles finals; she won at Birmingham this year, and at Charleston in 2009, and reached the final at Luxembourg the same year and at Tashkent in 2008. Sabine injured her left ankle badly at Indian Wells last year, and did not show signs of complete recovery until late this spring. She has a 44-15 singles match record this year, and has won 22 of her last 26 matches.
Aravane is now 4-3 in WTA singles finals; she won at Madrid and Bastad in 2010, and at Strasbourg and Bali in 2009. Aravane, who was distracted earlier this year by offcourt family problems, has a 12-19 singles match record in 2011.
