to be a repeat winner of the Orange Bowl 18u title. Vera defeated her Russian compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-7, 6-4 6-3 to win this prestigious title for the second straight year. It seems that Svetlana has trouble winning important finals. I hope she doesn't take that to the pro tour. It seems the Russian female tennis players have trouble winning titles. And that's a mystery in itself. Anyway, congratulations Vera. You deserve it!

Well done Vera and congrats <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <br /> Plus it was 1st time she had beaten Sveta in 3 attempts.

Sveta did win the Banana Bowl back in March which was a Grade A , plus she helped Russia win Connolly Cup.
