First of all, I apologize that there hasn't been too much activity in the past week or so ... I wanted to get as many replies as possible to see who still wanted to play the game so I got most that I wanted ... :) And plus school has been REALLY hectic and I have a lot of work to do ... I really do want to continue running this game but I hope you guys can understand why it may be slower than usual... :)

Well, welcome to the Lvl 2. event in Pancevo, Serbia! Tour stars Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic are from here and upcoming junior stars Wimbledon finalist Bojana Jovanovski and US Open finalist Aleksandra Krunic must be excited to play on their home turf. :) Amandine will be playing the professional event this week, so it's a chance for someone else to take the title. :devil: Maybe Pam will take home her 5th title... Will Timi recapture some form? Will Michelle come through this week? Or will someone outside the Top 4 realm take the title? Good luck to all. :)

How impressive has Bojana been in her home tournament? :eek: She has only dropped 9 games en route to the semis. :eek: Well done! :yeah: Pam is probably the smartest player on tour. :p She was disappointed she couldn’t change because she knew her points didn’t match well to Bojana. :hug: Good luck next tournament. ;)

[3]Babos def. Krunic 3-6, 6-2, 6-1

Timi was impressive after dropping the first set to the Serb, dishing out only 3 games after. Aleksandra didn’t play too badly but Timi also had some luck on her side. Congrats to Timi! :worship: Aleksandra. :sad:

This strategy is very interesting from Nikola … It will win her many matches but she will also lose many matches. :p Aranza put up a good fight, but the third set like I’ve been saying needs work. Good tournament though. :hug:

Bojana’s dream run comes to an end … Both didn’t change points since Wimbledon so I knew the result would be the same. :p Congrats to Timi for reaching the finals. :worship: :yeah:

GAME, SET, CHAMPIONSHIP NIKOLA HOFMANOVA
6-2*, 6-3

And FINALLY Nikola wins her first title. She has spent the majority of her career in the Top 8, even Top 5 rather, with very solid results. But it is not until the 21st tournament of the year that she has broken through to take a title. :haha: It’s more important that she finally achieved it. :p She did need a lot of luck (just like Amandine last week, because if it went to a third I’m PRESUMING Timi would’ve won it when I glanced at their third set points). However, it’s still a well deserved win for Nikola. :worship: As for Timi, still a great tournament. Since winning Wimbledon she has won another title but has struggled at the latter stages of tournaments. :hug: Good luck next week. ;)
