Very confusing, the rules for this event. Someone mentioned in another thread that they will re-seed the 4 surviving players for the SF, based on rankings. Don't quote me on that, I'm just repeating what I heard.

Does anyone know how many points are up for grabs in this tourney, and how many Aravane has won by getting to the SF?
Strastib mentioned in GM that she's got "250 in the pocket", which, according to my guesswork, would bump her up to around the low 30's and a possibly a new CHR.

if u look at TBE ranking right now she has 250 points and is at about 36 i'm pretty sure!

OK, thanks. I hope Aravane gets a good draw for the semis!

Aravane will play Martinz Sanchez in the SF.

She's a tricky player who like's to serve and volley, but hopefully Aravane can pull off the win and make the final

Ok Martinez Sanchez is good player. But Aravane at her best should win this

Good luck to her...lets go win this thing and end they year on a high

I hope you're right. Aravane can be so up and down. From the interviews, she seems to like Bali and the court itself--the lack of doubles lines is interesting, and I got to thinking about this the other day. It may actually help her focus. She is a hitter, a rhythm or "zone" player, and with just the one line to worry about, she can focus on that and it becomes like target practice. It's just a theory. At any rate, she seems to be playing well, so hopefully she can continue moving forward in the tournament. Closing the season out with a win would be fantastic.

Best of luck in SF,Aravane!!! I hope and I know you can win.PLay your best.Allez!!!

Aravane wins! She was amazing! She smacked winners from everywhere, including a ripping one at 0-30 to give her 3 MPs and then a blistering backhander to win it. She was awesome! Never dropped serve. Totally dominant! A perfect match! One more performance like that please! Take this title, Aravane! I hope both finalists play well!

Allleeezzzzz!

Just wonderful!!

I must confess I didn't really hope anything right before the tournament as regards Aravane's few past performances.
Therefore unexpected as it is, I'm so Happy !!

So many points won, an opportunity to win a great title.
Though, I couldn't see the match since I was at work, so I don't know if you guys could see the match, (I hope so

) And if anyone has recorded the match, I would be so grateful if he could upload it (or some highlights, whatever!)

Now Aravane is so confident, I'm glad she meet another French girl, they really can't stand each other, this will be funny to watch!

Come on Aravane, let's the deam continue !
