PYW - Toronto | Final | Please vote!
PYW - Rogers Cup
Welcome to Toronto! This year the Rogers Cup is part of the PYW Tour for the first time. Next year, the city of Montréal will play host to all these PYW stars and their supporters, but for now Toronto takes the honours.
Twelve qualifiers and three lucky losers made it to the main draw, where a total of 56 players competed for the hotly contested title, with only four players remaining. It's one of the final tournaments in the PYW season. The start of the US Open will also mean the start of a new PYW season, so this is the final chance to improve the rankings, before points will have to be defended.
Quote:
Ranking Points:
W - 300
F - 210
SF - 135
QF - 75
R16 - 42
R32 - 25
R16 - 5
Qualifier - 10 *
Q2 - 5
Q1 - 2
|
* If a qualifier loses in the first round of the main draw, she receives no first round points as usual
Quote:
PYW Ranking of the Participants:
Rankings after Los Angeles, Stockholm and ITF Rimini
4. Anastasia Myskina RUS
5. Mary Pierce FRA
|
 
Anastasia Myskina has reached her second final in two weeks. The Russian starlet won her second title of the season last week in Stockholm and will be eyeing for a third today. And she can be hopefull. Why? Well, she easily dismissed top favourite Kim Clijsters in straight sets AND is playing Mary Pierce in the final.
Ofcourse no descredit to Mary Pierce, but the French bomber has a nasty habit of losing finals. Let's sum it up for you, shall we: after a promising final loss at the US Open last year, the Frenchwoman succumbed in the final of Filderstadt, Antwerp, Amelia Island (to Myskina!) and Berlin. Wich makes this her 6th final of the PYW season.
Will the voters have finally mercy on dear Mary's soul? Or will Myskina prevail once again?
After all this being said, it's time for you to VOTE for the final time this tournament. Let the best player win.
Final:
Anastasia Myskina RUS [9] vs Mary Pierce FRA [8]
