On Saturday at Brisbane, Australia, in the final of the Brisbane International,
the 2014 champion at Beijing, Roland Garros, Madrid & Stuttgart, 27 year old top seeded #2 (and former #1) Maria Sharapova of Russia (residence: Manhattan Beach, CA and Bradenton, FL),
defeated
the 2014 champion at Tokyo, Birmingham, Auckland & Monterrey, 27 year old 2nd seeded #5 (and former #1) Ana Ivanovic of Serbia (residence: Basel, SUI),
6(4)-7, 6-3, 6-3 (photo shown). Maria's prize is $195,026; Ana's prize is $104,014. Maria said: "[Ana] was doing a lot of things better in the first set, and she deserved to win the first set, but I hung in there. It was important to get that break, and the third set came down to a few points, really. I'm just happy that I managed to get it in three." WTA story Ana said: "[Maria] got back the balls that I thought weren't coming over the net. That's why she's where she is, and that's why she's such a great champion." Maria now leads Ana 10-4 in career matches. Their previous meeting was last year on a Deco-Turf hardcourt in the semifinals at Beijing, when Maria defeated Ana 6-0, 6-4. At Auckland, New Zealand, on Saturday, in the final of the ASB Classic, the 2014 champion at Dubai, 34 year old 3rd seeded #18 (and former #1) Venus Williams from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, defeated the 2014 champ at Istanbul (and US Open finalist), 24 year old top seeded #8 (and former #1) Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco), 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 (photo shown). Venus's prize is $43,000; Caro's prize is $21,400. |
Venus said: "In the first set [Caroline] was serving so well. She had an amazing first serve percentage, all those amazing passing shots, even her mis-hits were too good. But I just tried to stay level-headed in the second set and focus on holding, and cut down on my unforced errors too, and it worked for me today." WTA story
Caro said: "Venus played really well. She's had a great week. I served really well at the start, and I was putting a lot of pressure on her, but she played better and better as the match went on."
Venus now leads Caro 6-0 in career matches. Their previous meeting was last year on a Deco-Turf hardcourt in the semifinals at Dubai, when Venus defeated Caroline 6-3, 6-2.
In the Guangdong province of China on Saturday, in the final of the Shenzhen Open, the 2014 champion at Doha & Bucharest (and French Open finalist), 23 year old top seeded #3 (career high: #2) Simona Halep from Constanta, Romania, defeated 25 year old 8th seeded #48 (career high: #37) Timea Bacsinszky from Belmont-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland, 6-2, 6-2 (photo shown).
Simona's prize is $111,163; Timea's prize is $55,323.
Simona said: "I wasn't feeling very well before the match. I was a little bit sick. So I told myself I have nothing to lose, just go on court, be relaxed, stay focused and fight for every point. It worked, and I felt really relaxed today. I'm happy I could play better day by day and match by match here." WTA story
Simona and Timea had met only once before, in 2010 on a hardcourt in the semifinals of an ITF tourney at Torhout, Belgium, when Simona defeated Timea 6-1, 6-3.

SCOREBOARD: WTA Brisbane, Auckland & Shenzhen; ITF Perth
Brisbane International, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
The Brisbane International was formerly known as the Australian Women's Hardcourts, and was held at nearby Gold Coast. In 2009 the tourney was moved to the newly-constructed Queensland State Tennis Centre at Tennyson, a Brisbane suburb. The $AUD 82 million Tennyson facility has 23 courts, including four clay, two natural grass and 17 hardcourts. Centre court, named Rafter Arena after Aussie Patrick Rafter, a 2-time US Open champ, seats 5,500. Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not observe daylight savings time (other Aussie provinces do; as in Britain, it is called Summer Time rather than daylight savings). Thus the time in Brisbane during the summer months is 1 hour earlier than the time in Sydney and Melbourne.
