Warrior Princess wins Dubai

Holy Mother of....

At the start of the week, who would have thought that Lena, our Elena Dementieva, would be holding the troophy at the end of the week. Of course, a lot of us surely wished it would happen. But with all the Top4 players present in the field, we all had doubts.

And Elena proved herself once again. She knocked of the No. 2 and 3 players convincingly. Her scalp here in Dubai was amazing, beating Patty Schnyder, Alona Bondarenko, Ana Ivanovic, Fran Schiavone and Sveta Kuznetsova to win the tournament. Not bad noh? Okay, it was amazing!

Apart from the $250,000 prize money, she's also back in the top 10!!! YAY!!!!

Nice win Lena! Hope you bring this success to have another successful run at Miami and Indian Wells later this month.

Congrats Lena!

Good to see you back, MJ.

ED may get bounced out of the top 10 if Serena wins in Bangalore. Nonetheless it was a good show from ED and I hope she can win some of the more prestigious tournaments in 08.
