Defending Champion : Dementieva

http://www.wtnphotos.com/data/516/GYI0055239136070111_1024x768.jpg


Well the clay season is finished, and we now move on to the British grass season, which is a short yet highly anticipated 3 weeks of tennis. Golovin triumphed in Paris to shoot up to #3 in the rankings, and will be looking to do well here. The transition from clay to grass is never easy, so this week will be very interesting, and could give a good indication of who to look for at Wimbledon in 2 weeks time.

Dementieva - 250
Vaidisova - 160
Dulko - 90
Olaru - 90
Davenport - 50

Congratulations to Serena Williams who wins her 3rd title of the season, and her 6th overall, making her joint with Dementieva for most titles won on OWTT. She extends her #1 lead even further. Good week for Dulko, making her first final of the season.

I lost to champion... not bad...

Only Serena can do is win lower Tier tournament and choke in GS :(

At least these are some good points, as I will have many many to defeend at the end of the year with my three titles in a row!
