Designer of the YearCongratulations to ALL of our worthy winners! Thank you to our tFS forum members who voted and particupated.
I just landed in Strasbourg, we had a really good week of practice at an academy in Spain. I am working hard on getting healthy, it has been a very frustrating 6 weeks but things are getting better.
The draw for the Internationaux de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France has been released and Maria is the top seed and will play Regina Kulikova of Russia in the 1st round.* Maria has never played Kulikova before and this match will be played on Monday or Tuesday.
The 1st seed Maria can meet is #6 seed Sybille Bammer of Austria in the quarters.
Maria is making her debut appearance in Strasbourg and this is Maria's final clay event before the 2nd Grand Slam of the year at Roland Garros which begins next Sunday.
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.
