Paris - Kim Clijsters needed to make it to the semi to be number one, and she did but, she didn’t win the championship: an impressive Petra Kvitova stopped her. Compare to other contestants, Kvitova kept her focus, didn’t become nervous and did stick to her match’s plan.
Well, I associated this to the fact that the girl didn’t seem to realize the moment: interviewed, she didn’t know what to say. My first explanation went to her possible lack of English but still, the lack of expression just tell me that she won’t ever be my favorite player. Come Girl, show some emotions, you just beat Kim Clijster, the number one in the world to top it all!
On the good performances to mention: 2 nice wins of Dokic (against Safarova and Petrova) who kinda seft-destroyed against Kim. Kaia Kanepi who is going to be really dangerous for the top seeds this season, and, the colorful Mattek-Sands seized her chance when Maria Sharapova had to withdraw and recorded yet another good result with a semi, after a final in Hobart earlier this season. For the record, I don’t like her, but well, she did good, so worth mentioning.
Pattaya City – Vera Zvonerava was there to defend her title, and couldn’t: she lost in semi to the eventual champion Hantuchova, who suddenly remembered, once again, how to play tennis: Hang on guys, she will forget it again soon enough. In final, She crushed the little Sara Errani, who still can be proud of her result.
Shuai Peng made it to the quart and Roberta Vinci managed well a semi as she defeated Ivanovic on her way there. But nowadays, there is nothing surprising about it.
