SINGLES - Kasatkina Crowned Queen Of
Charleston, Teen Takes First Title Over Ostapenko
Daria
Kasatkina claimed her first WTA title in an all-teen affair,
outlasting Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets to win the Volvo
Car Open.
In the first all-teen WTA final since 2009, Daria Kasatkina knocked
out former junior colleague Jelena Ostapenko, 6-3, 6-1, to win
her first WTA title at the Volvo Car Open.
"It's very difficult to describe my feeling now," she
said in her post-victory press conference. "I feel I'm just
sleeping and everything is not real. I'm so happy. Really."
Kasatkina and Ostapenko took back-to-back Grand Slam titles back
in 2014, the Russian winning the girls' French Open while the
Latvian swept the junior Wimbledon Championships, and the two
have been on a collision course since making their WTA debuts
the following year.
stapenko was in her third career final after finishing runner-up
at the Tournoi de Québec in 2015 and the Qatar Total Open
in 2016, and won their only previous tour-level meeting last
year at the Aegon International in Eastbourne.
But Kasatkina proved far more at home on clay after earning wins
over Olympic champion Monica Puig, good friend Daria Gavrilova,
No.10 seed Irina-Camelia Begu, and clay court specialist Laura
Siegemund en route to her first final.
DOUBLES - Team Bucie Dances To Second Title Of 2017
In Charleston
World
No.1 Bethanie Mattek-Sands and partner Lucie Safarova surged
to their second title of the season at the Volvo Car Open.
Kicking off finals Sunday at the Volvo Car Open, World No.1 Bethanie
Mattek-Sands treated the Charleston crowd to a rousing doubles
match alongside partner and Australian Open co-champion Lucie
Safarova.
Up against a newly formed Czech duo in Lucie Hradecka and Katerina
Siniakova, Mattek-Sands and Safarova recovered from a tough second
set to rebound in the match tie-break, winning, 6-4, 1-6, 10-7,
to take home their second title of the season - and Mattek-Sands'
third overall.
The win triggered a lengthy celebration from two of the tour's
biggest personalities, and even a revival of the Shaun T-choereographed
dance the two debuted after winning in Melbourne.

SINGLES - Pavlyuchenkova Stuns No.
1 Kerber For Monterrey Crown
Anastasia
Pavlyuchenkova pulled off a big upset over rival and World No.1
Angelique Kerber to take home the Abierto GNP Seguros title.
No.2 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova completed a Russian sweep of WTA
titles this week, shocking top seed and World No.1 Angelique
Kerber, 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 to win her fourth Abierto GNP Seguros title.
I'm really overwhelmed and don't think I realized that I just
won my fourth Monterrey trophy," she said in her post-victory
press conference. "Some people just have four trophies in
total, and I have four here! It's very special and it's a special
place in my heart; it's where I won my first title and since
won three more.
"But a trophy is a trophy; I'm so happy to hold it."
Following countrywoman Daria Kasatkina's title run at the Volvo
Car Open, Pavlyuchenkova got out to the early advantage in Sunday's
final, taking the only break of the first set on her third set
point.
"Playing
the final against the No.1 player in the world is already very
special, because everyone wants to compete against the No.1.
You don't get so many chances to do it, so it was one opportunity
for me today. Beating here feels amazing, but I'm just enjoying
the moment right now."
DOUBLES - Hibino / Rosolska Take Monterrey Doubles
Title
In the doubles
final, top seeds Alicja Rosolska and Nao Hibino recovered from
a break down in the second set to defeat Dalila Jakupovic and
Nadiia Kichenok, 6-2, 7-6(4).
"Our opponents really stepped up in the second set, played
more solid and put a lot of pressure on us. We couldn't play
our game style as freely," Rosolska said after the match.
"We had
to be more focused from the first ball, so we tried putting in
more first serves and be more aggressive so we wouldn't be under
as much pressure.
"There was a very important game at 2-4 where we won the
deciding point and helped us win the second set."
The pair previously paired up to win an ITF challenger title,
but as the Pole noted, "It's our WTA first!"

QUARTER FINALS
APR 7 - APR 9
Quarter
Finals
Goffin Fires
Belgium Past Italy
World No.
14 David Goffin wasted no time in sending Belgium to the Davis
Cup semi-finals, ousting Paolo Lorenzi 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 in just
one hour and 52 minutes on Sunday.
In front of the
partisan Belgian crowd in Charleroi, Goffin sent the host nation
back to the semis for the second time in three years, improving
to 13-1 in his last 14 singles rubbers.
The 2015 runners-up
will welcome Australia in September.
Kyrgios Powers Australia
Into Davis Cup Semi Finals
Nick Kyrgios guided Australia back into the Davis Cup semi-finals
with a 7-6(4), 6-3, 6-4 victory over Sam Querrey on Sunday.
The World No.
16 fired down 21 aces to secure an unassailable 3-1 lead for
Lleyton Hewitt's side at the Pat Rafter Arena in Brisbane.
France, Serbia Advance
To Davis Cup Semis
Julien Benneteau and Nicolas Mahut overcame Jamie Murray and
Dominic Inglot 7-6(7), 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 on Saturday to secure France's
place in the Davis Cup semi-finals.
The French duo
gave Les Bleus an unassailable 3-0 lead in their quarter-final
tie with Great Britain, surging into the semis for the fifth
time in eight years. They advanced when a Murray backhand volley
clipped the tape off a Mahut lob, improving to 6-1 in their last
seven home ties.
Great Britain,
meanwhile, failed to reach the semi-finals for the first time
in three years. The 2015 champions were without the services
of World No. 1 Andy Murray, who is recovering from an injured
right elbow.

Tournament abbreviations
WC = wildcard
(given by the tournament to a player that could not get in on
their ranking, or did not enter in time.
PR = protected ranking. This is used when a player
has been out for a certain period of time due to injury (I think
it's at least 6 months) and their ranking slips down to where
they wouldn't get in on their current ranking.
Q = Qualifier.
A = Alternate. Used in qualifying when a player
withdraws before their first match. Also used in main draw if
there was no qualifying draw and the draw was full before the
player withdrew.
LL = Lucky loser. A player that loses in qualifying
(usually the final round unless none of the final round losers
sign the lucky loser list) and gets into main draw when a main
draw player withdraws before their first match.
SE = Special exempt. A player who signed into qualifying
of a tournament, but was still playing in the previous week's
tournament at the time the qualifying draw was done. This player
can get a special exempt into the main draw the following week. |
