On Sunday at Seoul,, in the final of the KDB Korean Open,
the 2013 champion at Sydney and Auckland, 24 year old top seeded #4 (career high: #2) Agnieszka Radwanska from Krakow, Poland,
defeated
the 2013 Monterrey champion, 22 year old 3rd seeded #33 (career high: #13) Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova from Moscow, Russia,
6(6)-7, 6-3, 6-4 (Aga is shown holding the ceramicware after the match). Agnieszka's prize is $112,467; Anastasia's prize is $56,233. Agnieszka said: "It was a very close match—tight sets, all of them—but I was just a little bit better in the important moments today. "And at the end of the third set I think I was playing a little bit more aggressively than [Anastasia] was, and I managed to win a couple more points than her in the end." WTA story Agnieszka now leads Anastasia 3-1 in career matches. Their previous meeting was a few weeks ago on a Deco-Turf hardcourt in the 3rd round of the US Open, when Agnieszka defeated Anastasia 6-4, 7-6(1). Agnieszka is now 13-5 in WTA singles finals, and has a 50-14 singles match record this season. Anastasia is now 5-3 in WTA singles finals, and has a 28-18 singles match record in 2013. |
On Saturday in China, in the final of the Guangzhou Open, 24 year old wild card #106 (career high: #74) Shuai Zhang from Tianjin, China, won her first WTA singles final by defeating the 2006 champion at Bangkok, 24 year old qualifier #126 (career high: #50) Vania King from Long Beach, California, 7-6(1), 6-1 (Shuai is shown holding the hardware after the match).
Shuai's prize is $112,080; Vania's prize is $56,040.
Shuai said: "I'm not a person who often gets excited, but today I feel really happy. This is the biggest moment of my career. I look at this like a new starting point, not a final destination." WTA story
Shuai and Vania had met only once before, in 2011 on a Deco-Turf hardcourt in the 1st round at Tokyo, when Vania defeated Shuai 6-1, 6-0.
Shuai was playing in her first WTA singles final (she has won three WTA doubles titles). Shuai has a 32-16 singles match record in 2013.
Vania is now 1-1 in WTA singles finals. She has a 29-18 singles match record this year.
