Bertens reached the final twice in the past, but has never won the Masters so she is aiming for her 1st title here

Too bad Michaella Krajicek (We know her story ) Bibiane Schoofs (she has pneumonia) and Indy de Vroome (junior) aren't here, but still an interesting tournament

I'll keep you guys up to date about it. On Friday and Saturday matches on Centre Court are streamed. Livescores available all week.

Good question. I also don't really understand why. She is one of the top players who only play on a national level, but I even heard she is representing Russia on international club level. I saw a clip of her on Youtube and she speaks Dutch fluently and without accent. Her wikipedia page shows very little information too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_Kalyuzhnaya

Seedings are based on the Dutch national ranking: http://mijn.knltb.nl/cms/tabid/167/C...1/Default.aspx.

Not sure if that link works for everyone. It includes points from Dutch national ranking tournaments. WTA Top 200 players are listed on top. Players with international matches under their belt receive an amount of bonus points.

Olga Kalyuzhnaya has been living in the Netherlands for years and has her own tennis academy (http://www.oktennis.nl/)

This thread was always in the Dutch subforum btw.

Quirine Lemoine d. Arantxa Rus 64 62

Well, Aran tends to slump at the end and the beginning of the season so no surprise I guess.

Nice matches

[chingching]

Angelique for the win, even though Kiki will probably take it

[MarkNL]

Nice Elwin

I will watch Bertens vs. Hogenkamp via the livestream though, very curious about that match

(1)Kiki Bertens d. (3)Richel Hogenkamp 76(5) 57 64

What a (counter)choke fest

1st set Bertens up 5-2 40-15, then Hogenkamp served for it at 56* but Kiki won it eventually.
2nd set Hogenkamp up 4-1, then Bertens served for it at *54 but lost it eventually.
3rd set Hogenkamp up 4-1 again, then Bertens served for it at *54 and won it eventually.

Oh lulz
It was so funny to see this choking mess in real life

[MarkNL]

Bertens wins her first masters title, 61 63 against Lemoine in the final

[Sasja]

Kiki

She won 5 love games in a row in that 1st set
