good win. laurendon has been on the rise this year. i'm hoping eugenia will win this event and go on to bigger tournaments like $50k's. if she wants to catch up to her fellow countrywomen then she needs to start playing better players to get herself up to their level.
only #555. but she did move up from #711. she really needs to get that ranking up if she wants to get some wildcards and join her fellow young russians in the taking over of the wta tour.
eugenia? she's done this sort of thing a couple of times, winning her matches easily then suddenly losing to a player that she can easily beat. i think she is ready for the wta tour, not full time but to get some matches under her belt and to see the level of play in those events. she really needs to catch up to safina, douchevina and sharapova.
