The Spanish tennis player Carla Suarez-Navarro won her third international singles title (10.000 dollars tournaments) at the Vale do Lobo Ladies Open.

The 7th edition of this event, that counts for the WTA Tour world rankings, was dominated by Suarez-Navarro, the first seeded player in the singles main draw.

In the final, she beat the Turkish Ipek Senoglu by 6-2 and 6-3 in just 70 minutes. The 26 years-old unranked Senoglu is a star in her native country.

She was the first Turkish to play in a Grand Slam tournament, when she entered the Wimbledon qualifying doubles draw in 2004.

Later that year, she got in the doubles main draw of the US Open, and at the 2005 Australian Open she got injured and underwent surgery on May the 29th.

When she was recovering, she had the chance to play an exhibition match against Venus Williams on a tennis court specialy made on the Istambul Bridge. «It was a chance of a lifetime, but I agravated my injury», Senoglu admits.

Since then, she has lost all her singles ranking points and is trying to comme back. In the 2006 Vale do Lobo Ladies Open, her first tournament since November 2005, she won three qualifying rounds and four main draw rounds, reaching the final exausted. She was also a loser runner-up in the doubles draw. In the singles final, the powerfull game of the Suarez-Navarro just killed her.
«A lot of players from my country won events in Portugal and went on to have huge careers. I hope to become one of them», said Carla Suarez-Navarro, remembering Spanish idols such as Arantxa Sanchez, Emílio Sanchez, Sergi Bruguera, Carlos Costa, Albert Costa and Alberto Berasategui, among many others who had good wins in Portugal.
