Twice defending champion Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki was a match away from winning her third straight Copenhagen title, the tournament fans practically considered hers, but the trophy at the event's third edition went into the German hands as Angelique Kerber defeated the home favorite 6-4 6-4. In each set Wozniacki made two breaks, but Kerber made three.

To win the title at the 2012 e-Boks Open the second-seeded Kerber defeated Stephanie Foretz Gacon, Anne Keothavong, sixth seed Mona Barthel in the quarters, third seed Jelena Jankovic in the semis, and finally the top-seeded Wozniacki.

Kerber finished last season ranked No.32, but now she's No.15 with two titles to her name (her first WTA title is Paris 2012). (photo: © Neal Trousdale)

For the second time this year Italian Sara Errani won both the singles and doubles titles at the same event – in Acapulco in February and now in Barcelona. Moreover, this is the fourth year in a row that an Italian player has won the Barcelona Ladies Open, after Roberta Vinci in 2009 and 2011, and Francesca Schiavone in 2010.

In singles, the seventh-seeded Errani defeated third seed Dominika Cibulkova 6-2 6-2 in the final, while in doubles, alongside Roberta Vinci, she won an all-Italian doubles final with a 6-0 6-2 victory over Flavia Pennetta and Francesca Schiavone. (photo: © Neal Trousdale)

Caroline Wozniacki is now just one step away from claiming her third e-Boks Open title and remaining the only champion in the tournament's three-year history. Her opponent in the final will be Angelique Kerber, whom she defeated last year en route to the Copenhagen trophy, but note that at the time Kerber was world No.76.

Let's see how the top two seeds reached the final. The seed No.1 Wozniacki beat Petra Martic 6-3 6-2 by breaking the Croat's serve twice in each set. Wozniacki did lose her own serve once in the first set, but from then on she didn't face a break point. The 15h-ranked Kerber took out third seed Jelena Jankovic, 6-2 6-1, without dropping serve.

Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki converted all her four break opportunities and safely advanced to the semifinals of the e-Boks Open with a 6-0 6-3 victory over Alize Cornet, current world No.107, but once ranked 11th.

After struggling in the opener against Urszula Radwanska, Wozniacki cruised past Pauline Parmentier and now Cornet to increase her record at the e-Boks Open to 13-0, and 19-0 in sets.

The top-seeded Wozniacki's next obstacle to her third straight Copenhagen title will be the winner of the match between Bojana Jovanovski and Petra Martic.

The other semifinal is an encounter of seeds No.2 and No.3, Angelique Kerber and Jelena Jankovic. Both survived three-setters. Kerber battled past fellow German Mona Barthel 6-2 0-6 7-5 in the quarterfinals, while Jankovic came back from a set down and won ten straight games to dramatically defeat Kaia Kanepi 4-6 6-1 6-3. (photo: © Neal Trousdale)

The greatest claycourt event in tennis is soon to start and sports fashion designers are set to show their vision of how tennis fashion should look in order to perfectly fit the spring, the red clay and the big occasion such as Roland Garros. We already showed you what we expect the Nike players to wear - Maria Sharapova in dark, olive  tones, Serena Williams in three shades of green, while Victoria Azarenka will be in colors similar to the clay. Let's see now how Adidas is envisaging the spring look.

Adidas by Stella McCartney is refreshingly abandoning red and moving on to lemon for Caroline Wozniacki. Actually, red migth stay, but in the accessories – wristband and visor. Read more »
