Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland beat defending champion and top seed Elena Dementieva 6-3 6-2 to capture the Istanbul Cup on Saturday.

The victory in the Istanbul Cup final earned world No.15 Radwanska her third WTA singles title, and the second one this season (she also won in Thailand in February).

Radwanska has never lost in a WTA title match, improving to 3-0. She is also 2-1 lifetime against Dementieva, who had not lost in seven previous matches at this event.

Today’s win earned second-seeded Radwanska $30,500, which means that the 19-year-old has become the first Polish player on the WTA Tour to pass $1 million in career earnings. (sources: Reuters, The Sports Network, photo via Yahoo)

You remember all the mystery behind Maria Sharapova’s Australian Open dress, and you know that for the French Open it was the same story. Well, finally we know for sure that for the French Open the Russian fashionista will wear Nike Paris Dress inspired by 1920s. In addition, the world No.1 will wear Tiffany & Co. designer Elsa Peretti’s Wave earrings in 18K gold. Also, the back of Sharapova’s Nike Paris Dress is adorned with a Tiffany pearl button closure.

This is the beginning of a two-year partnership between the 21-year-old Sharapova and Tiffany & Co.; Masha will step onto the court of all the Grand Slams wearing Tiffany earrings, which will also be sold at Tiffany stores under the Tiffany for Maria Sharapova collection.

There are two more photos of the Nike Paris Dress after the cut. Read more »

World No.10 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia has announced her withdrawal from the French Open. She has a stress fracture in her right foot. Hantuchova was hoping to be able to recover by the time of the claycourt Grand Slam, but that unfortunately hasn't happened.

Disappointed with the outcome she said:

A near heartbreaking day for me… After final consult with my team, I am sad to announce that I will be missing my first Roland Garros as a professional athlete. Every player’s dream is to compete in the Grand Slams and I so much wanted to make Paris happen. But I know I have to be patient as recovery from this type of injury takes time. Hopefully I will be strong and healthy to practice and play in full speed soon. I wish everyone all the best, lots of good tennis, and much love to all the fans!

Former world No.4 Jelena Dokic, currently ranked 318th, which is by the way good, won two back-to-back titles at challengers – Florence and Caserta – but today her run has ended. Dokic, who received a wildcard for the Tier III tournament in Strasbourg, lost in the first round. World No.71 Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland defeated her 6-4 6-2. (image via Great Tennis Photos)

Maria Sharapova, who withdrew from her Italian Open semifinal last week due to a calf injury, appears fresh and recovered. The world No.1 was spotted practicing at Roland Garros' Philippe Chatrier stadium. One more photo after the cut. Read more »

American Lindsay Davenport and Indian Sania Mirza have withdrawn from the 2008 French Open which starts May 25 in Paris.

Davenport cited personal reasons, while Mirza withdrew because she has not yet recovered from her wrist surgery.

Tatiana Golovin, Na Li and Eleni Daniilidou had withdrawn earlier because of injuries and surgeries, and world No.10 Daniela Hantuchova will probably withdraw due to her foot injury.

The claycourt Grand Slam will be missing so many top players: Golovin is currently ranked 21st, Davenport 26th, Mirza 32nd, Daniilidou 35th, and Li 36th. Plus No.10 Hantuchova may be added to the list. And not to mention four-times French Open champion Justine Henin who retired from professional tennis just before her favorite Grand Slam.

World No.1 Justine Henin surprisingly retired last week, while still being at the peak of her tennis career, and 21-year-old Maria Sharapova, who has improved to No.1 in the rankings after Henin’s retirement, said that she understands the Belgian's desire to quit playing professional tennis.

"Justine is 25 years old and she had achieved so much in her career," Sharapova said. "If I was 25 and I had won so many Grand Slams, I'd quit too." Read more »

World No.4 Jelena Jankovic of Serbia successfully defended a title for the first time in her career with a 6-2 6-2 victory over French qualifier Alize Cornet, ranked 34th in the world.

Fourth-seeded Jankovic was dominant throughout the final. She established a 5-1 lead in the first set, and although Cornet pulled a break back, Jankovic immediately broke back to take the opening set. The second set was the same story. The 18-year-old Frenchwoman even broke into tears at 4-1 down while Jankovic took a pause to have treatment on her right shoulder. Cornet, who scored victories over Svetlana Kuznetsova and Anna Chakvetadze on her way to the final, held her next service game and then earned three break points on Jankovic's serve but the champion saved them all and went on to break again to claim the Internazionali BNL d'Italia title.

Winning in Rome, the 23-year-old Jankovic took home her sixth career WTA title and her first since winning in Birmingham at the DFS Classic last year in June. Also, she earned $196,900.

In the next rankings, Jankovic will move to No.3, and Cornet, who played only her second WTA final, is expected to make her Top 30 debut, improving to around No.22. (photo via Yahoo)

Jelena Dokic is slowly but surely reviving her career. The former world No.4 has won her second title in two weeks.

The 25-year-old Dokic, who is now ranked 431st, won the $25,000 Caserta in Italy, and last weekend she won a challenger in Florence. In the Caserta final, Dokic defeated Austria’s Patricia Mayr 6-3 6-1.

After this victory, the Australian born in Belgrade, Serbia, heads to a $175,000 claycourt event in Strasbourg, France, for which she received a wild card. (photo via ITF Caserta)
