Alex is back in the final and she had to say this to Polish media: Warsaw is my tournament! :worship:

<< When I am here, I feel just fine. It can not be rationally explained that feeling. Some tennis players have their favorite tournaments. For me such a happy place is Warsaw. >>

I guess she should change her name to Alexandra Warsaw :)

Let's go Jie

Małgorzata Socha on the stands :hearts:

Both players started the match well on their serves. 2/2

Alex comes more often to the net! :) GO ALEX!!!

Excellent variety from Alex: drop shot giving her 3 break points!!! :)

And ALEX BREAKS!!! GO ALEX GO!!! :bounce:

3/2

Alex confirms: some slices, some long balls, a BH down the line & on the line...
4/2... GO ALEX! :)

Jie grunts, misses a high volley and goes down 2/5..

A lovely touch with a BH drop shot volley from Alex... :)

Expected if only this was Grass or hardcourt

Alex makes a poor service game, broken to love...
On the other hand, Jie's coach came down to stop the fall and Jie recovers: 3/5...

Fight Alex!!! Go Go Go!!! :)

5-3* 2 sps...

Knew it.

2 sps saved! 40-40...

df and again sp.

4. sp now...

Dulgheru wins 1st set 6-3.

Jie grunts, fights, tries to hang in there, saves some set points but not the set: 6/3 Alex!!!

Yeah, this is not the Wimbledon grass!!! This is European clay!!! :) :) :)

GO ALEX :bounce:

Jie :help:

Dulgheru has a Prince Polo in her bag :happy:

Dulgheru has a Prince Polo in her bag :happy:

That's polish chocolate isn't it?! I think I've eaten some and it's quite good... :)

UE Machine :help: I am done.

Alex starts well in this second set, after some long points and deuces she holds her serve 1/0...
She looks more relaxed than Jie... after all, she's in Warsaw :)

Does anyone have a link :help:?

Alex is brimming with confidence now!!! 2/0 and she has lots of surprises for her opponent! :bounce:

Jie also tried the drop shot :happy:, and SHE WON THAT POINT!

Zheng :o

Jie recovers a little after another poor service game from Alex (broken to love)...

Fight ALEX!!! Go Go Go!!! :) :)

Alex' energy dropped again in this second set, as it did with LiNa... and Jie has more confidence now... 3/2 leading after another break to love...

Dig Deep Alex!!! And get that energy back in the game!!! :)

Tricky 7th game and Alex manages to close in on Jie: 3/4 (still a break up)!

Jie stepped in and had a number of volleys, just couldn't put Alex off.

Alex is back in business!! Go ALEX!!! HOLD!!! :bounce:

Jie's cracked

Alex goes ahead again in this second set: 5/4!!! Jie to serve...

C'mon Alex!!! Fight!!! :)

Jie :sad:

Jie SCREAMS!!! Is this the end? :)

since when you became Na V2

2nd match point for a 2nd title here in Warsaw!!! GO ALEX!!! :) :)
