2009 ASB Classic Final ($220.000)

akl808011001_1024x768

What an incredible start for Elena Dementieva, she seriously has worked on a lot of things lately, that serve, has become a lot better, she really knows now how to hit it harder and make it a bit more effective than before, she nearly doesn’t hit double faults anymore. Given that I think Elena will become a main contender during 2009, if she manages to keep herself focused and mentally tough.

Anyway she kinda destroyed Elena Vesnina in the final. Heavy throphy btw.

FINAL : Elena Dementieva (RUS) d. Elena Vesnina (RUS) 64 61

2009 Brisbane International FINAL ($220.000)

What a start of the year, we saw a very powerfull Azarenka hit up her gear and excell at anything she was faced during the Brisbane international tournament. She certainly has improved by 200% since last year, better movement powerfull ball-striking and last but not least, a very good mental frame to keep herself focused.

I for sure can tell this won’t be the last we’ll see of her.

FINAL : Victoria Azarenka (BLR) d. Marion Bartoli (FRA) 63 61

Serena Williams Wins 9th

Serena Williams has won the Us Open by defeating Jelena Jankovic in a highly exciting match, earning the 3rd best match of the year. Although Serena still wasn’t showing her great form, Jankovic didn’t have the guts to take the match to her.

When Serena Williams won the match point, she started jumping for joy, as if she was a little child, it’s great to see hard work and devotion turning out into emotions, relief and joy. This shows how great she is as an athlete.

Serena Williams will also regain the number 1 ranking for a while. Pictures will be placed online later.
