The WTA wound up it's season with a Premier event in Moscow and an International event in Luxembourg. The only women who got a break were the ones who took one.
Roberta Vinci won the singles title in Luxembourg.
Timea Bacsinszky and
Tathiana Garbin were the Luxembourg doubles champions.
Meanwhile in Moscow there was a Victor/Victoria moment.
Victoria Azarenka fought like hell to come back from being down 0-4 in the second set to defeat
Maria Kirilenko in straight sets 6-3, 6-4. Kirilenko will have nightmares about that second set.
Meanwhile the Glam Girls team of Flavia Pennetta and Gisela Dulko won the doubles championship.
The ATP staged 250 events in Moscow and Stockholm.
To no one's surprise
Roger Federer won easily in Stockholm. It seems
Jonas Bjorkman managed to detach himself from Roger's anus.
Eric Butorac and
Jean-Julien Rojer won the doubles championship.
In Moscow the team of
Dmitry Tursunov and
Igor Kunitsyn took the doubles championship.
Viktor Troicki won his first ATP title in Moscow defeating Marcos Baghdatis in three sets.
Congratulations to them all.
Women in the DesertThe WTA Year End Championships begin tomorrow in Doha. The WTA is also introducing it's new logo, featured above with seven of the eight competitor at this event. The group breakdown is as follows:
Maroon
Caroline Wozniacki
Francesca Schiavone
Samantha Stosur
Elena Dementieva
White
Vera Zvonareva
Kim Clijsters
Jelena Jankovic
Victoria Azarenka
The White Group is quite competitive while the Maroon Group is pretty, well, WTAish. May the best woman win.
Idle Chit Chat
As everyone in the world knows Maria Sharapova's engagement to Los Angeles Laker Sasha Vujacic was the big news last week. They look very happy in this picture and I'm glad to see that. Of course, being me, I wanted to see the ring.
Looks like he stepped up to the plate and did right by her. I don't think a date has been set. The NBA season is about to start and her season will start in January. Best wishes to both of them.
