New No.1 Clijsters not unbeatable, Kvitova clinches Paris title
Tomorrow-to-be-number-one Kim Clijsters is vulnerable just like every other player on the WTA Tour, and Petra Kvitova proved that by beating the Belgian 6-4 6-3 in the final of the Open GDF Suez in Paris.
The Paris title is Kvitova’s third, but it is her biggest one and of course, her biggest match victory so far. However, the fourth-seeded Kvitova had closer matches earlier in the tournament – the left-handed Czech barely made it to the quarterfinals, having been a match point down against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova (final score: 6-4 6-7(6) 7-6(9)), and then Yanina Wickmayer had a 5-3 lead in the third set before Kvitova reached the semis.
Clijsters will enjoy her regained No.1 ranking anyway, for the first time since 2006, while world No.18 Kvitova can enjoy her great victory and already the second title this season, after the Brisbane International. (via WTA Tour)
I'm slowly becoming a fan of this girl. Let's see how she performs in Dubai.
Yeah,me too. I love her fearless attitude.I remember when she played Serena in last year's Wimby semis, she didn't give up till the last point in the tiebreak.
Hi,
I spent 3 days in Paris for the Open GDF Suez.

Oh, Ludmilla, you should've told me earlier, I would've used your photos in my posts. I've added you as a contact on Flickr for future reference!
But it takes a lot of times to upload all the photos, so I told as soon as I could ;o)
Ludmilla, no worries. By the way, are all the photos you have on Flickr (close to 5000), your copyright?
I think kvitova will be the next big thing
