S3 Week 14, Strasbourg, FRA, Tier II

STRASBOURG


http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2869381-Strasbourg-Strasbourg.jpg


Welcome to Strasbourg, France - our last stop before the season's second Grand Slam. This is the last opportunity for players to boost their rankings before the French Open - and with the top 16 being seeded in Paris, there will certainly be a fight between the mid-ranked players here this week. Molik grabbed her second title of the season last week – can she continue her hot streak here in Strasbourg?

Ok :).

Congratulation Ashley! She claims her second title in the last 3 weeks! She was in great form here this week, taking out 3 seeds and not dropping a set all week. She will be a dark horse in Paris. Cornet looked like she might play her way into the match when she started to come back in the second set, but it was too much of a defecit to claw back. Still a good week for her and she will be confident going into Paris.

At least Marta got a win:lol:
Will send new points for RG!
