On Saturday in Tokyo, in the final of the Toray Pan Pacific Open,
this year's champ at San Diego (Carlsbad), 22 year old 9th seeded #13 (career high: #8) Agnieszka Radwanska from Krakow, Poland,
defeated
this year's champion at Doha (and the 2010 US Open & Wimbledon finalist), 27 year old 4th seeded #4 (career high: #2) Vera Zvonareva from Moscow, Russia,
6-3, 6-2 (Vera is shown during the match, Agnieszka is shown with the ceramicware afterward). Agnieszka's prize is $360,000; Vera's prize is $180,000. Vera won the first two games of the match, and had a point to go to 3-0. Agnieszka said: "I was a little bit nervous at the start, but I woke up after those first two games. I had some tough matches this week—and I was playing without a bye, so I had a lot of matches in a row—but I just kept trying my best. It was the finals so I tried not to think about it and fight until the end. "I'm very, very happy to win this tournament. All of the top players were playing here, and I played some good tennis to beat them." WTA story Vera said: "Obviously I'm disappointed I couldn't come away with the title today. I started well and broke her, but after that I don't know what happened to me. "I've played with Agnieszka a lot and know how she plays, and if I played to my usual standard I could have won, but I just couldn't today. It happens. I'll take my lessons from this match then hope to forget it as soon as possible." Agnieszka now leads Vera 3-2 in career matches, and has won their last three meetings. They met twice earlier this both times on Deco-Turf hardcourts: in the final at San Diego (Carlsbad), Aga defeated Vera 6-3, 6-4, and in the 3rd round at Toronto, Aga won again, 6-4, 7-6(4). |
Agnieszka is now 6-2 in WTA singles finals. She won this year at San Diego, reached the San Diego final last year, and the Beijing final in 2009. Agnieszka has a 40-15 singles match record in 2011.
Vera is now 12-18 in WTA singles finals; she won this year at Baku and Doha, and last year won at Pattaya City and reached the finals at Wimbledon, Flushing Meadows, Beijing, Montreal, and Charleston. Vera's 2011 singles match record is 53-17.
WTA SCOREBOARD: Tokyo
Toray Pan Pacific Open, Tokyo, Japan
The Toray Pan Pacific Open was previously held in February, indoors at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. However, rescheduling of the Fed Cup 1st round resulted in moving the tourney to September, and the venue was changed to the Ariake Tennis Forest Park, the same place where the AIG Japan Open was held for years. The Japan Open has now been moved to Osaka. Toray Pan Pacific Open venue address: Ariake Tennis Forest Park, 2-2-22 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo Although this is an outdoor event, the Center Court stadium has a retractable roof, which is closed in foul weather.
