Tanasugarn happy despite singles loss

AMELIA ISLAND,USA-AP- Thai Tamarine Tanasugarn had one heck of a week on the first clay court tournament of the season, and kicked it off with a bang winning the doubles title with Lourdes Dominguez Lino.

She then upset 3rd-seeded Anabel Medina Garrigues 7-6(5),6-2, sending her home before the final four for the first time ever.

"That was a big match for me, then I knew I could grind on any surface, except Rebound Ace of course."

She then met good friend and doubles partner Lourdes Dominguez Lino, she grinded out a hard fought victory, being a set and 2 breaks down, and eventually match point to win 3-6,7-5,6-4.

Later in the day they won the doubles final over Severine Bremond and Amelie Mauresmo handily 6-4,6-3, without dropping a set.

"It was cool to lift up a trophy for once."
