S3 Week 13, Rome, ITA, Tier I

ROME


http://www.monasterystays.com/uploads/features/Rome_01.jpg

Welcome to our last Tier I clay event. Big points are up for grabs here as the players battle to boost their rankings for a seeding at Roland Garros. Harkleroad played a blinder to take the title last week, and Serena seems to have sprung back to life. Both should perform well here. Kournikova is performing consistently well but still looking for a title this season - will she finally break through here? A struggling Golovin will aim to defend her title. It should be another exciting week on the OWTT Tour!!

Congrats to Molik who picks up her second title of the season. Molik played great tennis all week, but looked like she had run out of steam here as she lost the first set 6-0. However, Molik was able to regroup and played some inspired tennis to see of Kirilenko, rather easily in the end. Still a great week for Kirilenko, who moves into the Top 15 :)

:worship:yay! i lost to eventual champ!:worship:

Alicia :woohoo:
