She was the favorite, and she won, against Vera Zvonareva! But the final didn’t reflect well how high the level of competition was during those 2 weeks. The road there wasn’t that easy for Kim, but she proved to be the most consistent of them all.
It was at first very hot, and then, very windy, and it is not to play in those condition. Azarenka gave everybody a scare when she collapsed on the court on her second match against Gisela Dulko. She had to retire, but we quickly know that it was not only the heat that was responsible, but the Belarusian fell in the morning and got a concussion.
Stosur did very well and it was a tough lost against Clijsters in quart, she could have won the match, and if you asked me, she should have won the tournament. Next year, maybe?
