Lucie on clay, is a pretty serious threat

Congrats amazing she came through qualies as well

Poor Na

Now Pratts turn to destroy Na Li in Morroco.

Lucie must have won many matches to win this tournament. It must feel so special for her. Great job Lucille!

Lucie :bounce: :bounce: :banana:

Welcome back Lucie :woohoo:

Some of you are probably wondering who the hell is this Lucie...but we challenger and Junior thread residents have always known that Lucie was gonna come good...keep it up Lucie :D

WOW Lucie :yeah:

Absolutely amazing week! :hearts::hearts:

Well done :woohoo:

Na :sad:

nnnnnnnnnnooooooooo. Na Li :sad:

Na had her opportunities but couldn't take them!!!! :o

:eek:

Well give her credit - its a good win for Lucie - and probably one of many.

:bigcry: Na :bigcry: :smash: :smash: :smash:

b4 this match i expect Na to storm to the title without trouble :sad: :sad:

AARRRGGGHHH :o:o:o:tape::tape:

Na Li already has a title...its nice to see someone win their first title...so don't be so sad for Na Li ;)

:bigcry: Na :bigcry: :smash: :smash: :smash:that's just how I feel!!!! Don't know what Lucie looks like. Anyone got a pic?????

She's in my avatar. ;)

Lucie :woohoo:

And the v-cash jinx continues. :retard:.

Well done Lucie! I'm very glad for you :bounce:

Congratulations Lucie! What a great performance this week :yeah:

Well done Lucie. :tennis: :D

Oh Na that was a wasted opportunity....shouldn't have lost to Safarova...well it was her first clay tourney so I suppose thgat's pretty impressive!

:eek: Lucie
Better luck, Na

Only Lucie's second WTA main draw, and she takes the title :yeah:

This is certainly a shocking result. I never could have imagined Safarova winning this title. I had barely even heard of her.

Good job Lucie ^_^

YAY :)

But this isn't a shock. At all. ;)

Good tournament by Safarova. She fought more than anyone in this tournament and in the end that was the difference. I hope this gives Dokic some inspiration to try to fight and win a title from the qualies. I also hope that Na Li will now be even more hungry and win her first title on clay at Rabat next week.

Good job lucie. Looking at all the sets she's played this week, she's played A LOT of tennis.

YAY :)

But this isn't a shock. At all. ;)

Not really a surprise..more surprised Na got to finals..she hasnt played on clay since a kid..besides practice these past weeks probably..and she lost to a clay courter..

that was indoors, and Vesnina is pretty good anyway :p


:rolls:..Lies. :p Maybe Memphis was just a bad day :p

Na 120vcash gone :(

Congrats Lucie... I like shock results like this. I barely heard of the girl. Good for her.

yawn, that was a seriously boring match in front of a huge crowd of, erm, 200. those guys will be cannonfodder for the top 20 players. I only watched it because I'm bewitched by all my new tennischannels and have to see it all.

Some of you are probably wondering who the hell is this Lucie...but we challenger and Junior thread residents have always known that Lucie was gonna come good...keep it up Lucie :DIt's crazy, challenger and tour level are like two different worlds. When a challenger players breaks through we're all like, "Who the hell is that?" And you challenger fanatics have known them all along :D

Well done Safarova :)

Lucie :eek: i did not expect her to win against Na but impressive tournament for her :bigclap:
Na :sad: u still did well at your first clay tournament...keep it up in Rabat :yeah:

Another Lucie pic :- :hearts:
