Congrats Lina :)

LINA! :) :) :hearts: :kiss:

wow, great win! Isnt Lina ranked outside the top 100?!?! Looks like the end for Monica is near

Congratulations, Lina!:)

Win your first title!:bounce:

lina is between 90-100 i think

Oh no...poor Moniaca...but congrats to Lina.. must ve played real well....
I expected Maggie to take out Monica in the semis...so I'm in a state of shock a bit now.. Maggie could have gotten big bonus points beating Monica.... I wonder how Maggie s feeling now..

can anyone who watched the match give feedback>?

did Lina play exceptionally well ?
was Monica off form ?

Monica:eek:

And Monica just beat her last week 64, 64. How sad.

Pity Eggy's not around to share the news...hope it's cheered him slightly :)

:eek: :sad: :sad: :sad:

At least Eggy will be happy

:sad:

Lina :D She did it for Eggy...she's trying to help cheer him up ;)

:sad:
Hope at least Conchita takes advantage of this and wins the tournament!

Wow...

Well, at least this makes me feel better about Bovina losing to her in Paris... I've never seen this Lina K. play, but she must be pretty good. All Lena's are great players though, of course.

Lina :bounce::bounce:

Amazing win :D
Now it's top 50 for you, then top 20, then top 10... :D

Ditto re. Eggy! ;) Nimi, obviously, we and many others wish the venue didn't have that ugly ban that Noga's thread discussed. But I won't put the onus on a young player trying to "make it" like Lina to be the conscience the WTA lacks. Monica's great achievements are there for history, but IMO she needed neither the $ nor points, plus her presence served to "legitimize" the event as no largely unknown player possibly could. (Plus, the regime there used Monica promotionally specifically due to her celebrity). :sad:
