On Saturday at Eastbourne, England, in the final of the AEGON International,
the 2013 champion at Hobart, Tasmania (and doubles champ at Roland Garros), 26 year old #34 (career high: #22) Elena Vesnina from Sochi, Russia,
handily defeated
23 year old qualifier #42 (last week; this week at a new career high: #41) Jamie Hampton from Auburn, Alabama,
6-2, 6-1 (Elena is shown holding the bowl after the match). Elena's prize is $117,000; Jamie's prize is $63,000. High winds affected play. Elena said: "It was really difficult to play today, honestly. At the beginning I was like, 'Oh my God, I just need to stay in the match, just try to play every single point. Don't think about wind and just fight.'" WTA story Jamie said: "[Elena] played the conditions much better than I did. Honestly, I was surprised how she was even hitting the ball in the court, and on top of that she was playing some very good tennis. She was very deserving of the title today." Elena and Jamie had never before met on the field of combat. Elena is now 2-6 in previous WTA singles finals, losing her first six, and winning her last two. She has a 22-12 singles match record in 2013. Jamie was playing in her first WTA singles final. She has a 22-14 singles match record this year. Meanwhile at 's-Hertogenbosh (aka Den Bosch or Rosmalen), in the final of the Topshelf Open, last week's champion at Nuremberg, 21 year old #58 (last week, #45 this week, career high: #37) Simona Halep from Constanta, Romania, won her second title in a row, defeating 27 year old 30th seeded #20 (career high: #20) Kirsten Flipkens from Mol, Belgium, 6-4, 6-2 (Simona is shown holding the plate after the match). |
It was Simona's 10th consecutive match victory. Simona's prize is $40,000; Kirsten's prize is $20,000.
Simona said: "It's incredible, because I played really well on grass after a week on clay. Today I played well. I was a little bit nervous at the start but I just tried to fight for every point. [Kirsten is] playing a very difficult game for me, slicing a lot, but I played every point and just kept going, and I won in the end. I'm really happy. I want to enjoy this evening. It's a special moment for me." WTA story
Kirsten said: "It was really not easy to play with the wind today... But Simona's in the shape of her life. She won last week on clay, and this week on grass... she played a great match against me today."
Simona now leads Kirsten 3-0 in career matches. Their previous meeting was in 2011 on red clay in the semifinals at Fes, when Simona defeated Kirsten 7-5, 6-4.
Simona is now 2-3 in WTA singles finals, and has a 24-11 singles match record this year, winning 16 of her last 18 matches. The losses were to Carla Suarez Navarro and Serena Williams.
Kirsten is now 1-1 in WTA singles finals, and has a 22-15 singles match record in 2013.

from Hard Courts by John Feinstein (page 297): The women have played a Wimbledon warm-up tournament at Eastbourne since the nineteenth century, after all these years still playing at the same site, Devonshire Park. Eastbourne is two hours southeast of London, an easy train ride or a harrowing drive along narrow country roads. It sits on the English Channel and is the English version of St. Petersburg [Florida], a small resort town where a substantial part of the population is over the age of seventy. Devonshire Park is a two-hundred-yard walk from the beach, a veritable melting pot of the tennis world. The old is very much in evidence: the north stand, which was built in 1881, is often filled with septuagenarians who have been coming here for as long as anyone can remember. Towering oak trees rise up behind the north stand and sea gulls often swoop by noisily, distracting the players. Two things make Eastbourne different than other tournaments. First, it is a six-day tournament, ending Saturday... The second thing that makes Eastbourne unique is the player party. Every tennis tournament in the world has a player party. On the women's tour, WTA public relations and marketing people as well as their counterparts at Kraft and Virginia Slims usually spend the first few days at each tournament trying to round up players to come to the party. For the players, one more party with one more group of sponsors telling them how wonderful they are is boring, a time-waster. They understand they have to do their share to keep these people happy, but they don't enjoy it very much. Eastbourne is different because of the talent show. The players--even Navratilova--show up because they expect the show to be funny. The person most responsible for making it funny every year is Elsie Burgin, director, writer, and star. This year's [1990's] show was built around a mock game show... ...Most of this was very inside humor. If you weren't part of the women's tour in some way, the jokes meant little. [Sophie] Amiach broke the crowd up with her Stefano Capriati imitation: "I deserve the credit," she said. "I produce the child. I teach the child. I coach the child. I am the star." To his credit, Stefano Capriati laughed as hard as anyone... |
