On Sunday at Birmingham, England, in the final of the AEGON Classic,
the 2010 Birmingham finalist (and the 2002 & '07 Indian Wells champ), 30 year old #61 (career high: #5) Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco),
defeated
the 2012 finalist at Tashkent, 16 year old #88 (career high: #76) Donna Vekic from Osijek, Croatia,
7-6(5), 6-4 (Daniela is shown holding the "Maude Watson Trophy" after the match). Daniela's prize is $40,000; Donna's prize is $20,000. Daniela said: "I'm always so happy coming back here year after year, and it feels great to finally get the title. "The first week on grass is always really demanding on the body, so I'm proud of how I made it through so many long matches throughout the week." WTA story Donna said: "I gave it my all today. Maybe it wasn't my best tennis, but it was the best I could do today, and Daniela was just the better player out there. I was happy to be playing the finals. Hopefully I'll have many more matches like that." Daniela and Donna had never before met on the field of combat. Daniela is now 6-9 in WTA singles finals, with a 21-15 singles match record in 2013. Donna is now 0-2 in WTA singles finals, with a 15-7 singles match record this year. |
On Saturday at Nuremberg, Germany, in the final of the Nürnberger Versicherungscup the 2012 Brussels finalist, 22 year old 7th seeded #57 (career high: #37) Simona Halep from Constanta, Romania, won her first WTA singles title by defeating the 2011 champion at Strasbourg, 25 year old wild card #136 (last week, #103 this week, career high: #9, ranking down due to injury) Andrea Petkovic from Darmstadt, Germany, 6-3, 6-3 (Simona is shown with the transparentware after the match).
Simona's prize is $40,000; Andrea's prize is $20,000.
Simona said: "This is a very nice win for me, and this is a very nice tournament. I'll never forget this. Andrea beat me in Romania a few years ago and I'm happy I could win against her here today. She played great and the atmosphere was great. It's an unbelievable feeling to win my first WTA title." WTA story
Andrea said: "Simona made it a little easier for me to get over the loss because she played such an incredible match. She played an almost perfect match, especially after she found her rhythm in the middle of the first set... I have a lot of respect for how she played against me. She more than deserved to win today."
Andrea and Simona had met only once before, in 2009 on red clay in the quarterfinals at Bucharest, when Andrea defeated Simona 6-2, 7-6(2).
Simona is now 1-3 in WTA singles finals, with a 19-11 singles match record in 2013.
Andrea is now 2-4 in WTA singles finals, with a 15-6 singles match record this year.
