PYW Hasselt

The second PYW edition of the Gaz de France Stars promises to be highly sentimental, as the PYW Tour says goodbye to Belgian Els Callens, who never reached great popularity, and Italian Silvia Farina Elia, who is one of the true stars outside of the Top 10.
After a thrilling qualifying competition, with some high-level match-ups, we now reached the semifinals. This is the big time. The moment we've all been waiting for. Callens lost last round after having match point against Karolina Sprem, so her goodbye party is sadly over. Farina Elia remains alive however, and she is certainly the sentimental favorite to win the event. Can the Italian say arriverdeci with a title? Vote now!
Don't forget to vote for the event of Linz.
