MARIA: 2010 STRASBOURG CHAMPION!
Maria has won her 2nd title of 2010 and her 22nd title at the Internationaux de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France.* Maria defeated Kristina Barrois of Germany 7-5 6-1 in 1 hour and 15 minutes.* Congratulations Maria!

Barrois was serving for the 1st set at 5-4 and Maria battled back by taking the next 3 games to take the set 7-5.* Maria won the set on a ripping backhand return winner.* The set took 47 minutes.

Maria carried the momentum from winning the1st set into the 2nd set as she dropped only 1 game as she took the match on a short backhand winner.
 
Yay Maria started her RG campain beautifully by defeating fellow Russian Ksenia Pervak 6-2 6-3 I hope Maria goes as far as in the tournament. I'm her life to death fan. :D IMO not her best outfit. :(

Yeah, definitely not her best outfit. I don't like her hair in braids either; it looks childish to me. I think the visor should make a come back!
 
Not so sure about the shoes or the hair but the dress looks great.

Wow! Ana Ivanovic looks stunning! Only if she could play like she looks.... :innocent:
