CAMILA GIORGI CONQUERS OF THE TOPSHELF OPEN 2015

Giorgi was devastating on serve - she never faced a break point in 11 service games, and she only lost a total of 19 points in those 11 service games. 

And when she saw her chances she took them - she converted on both break points she got, one to take the first set and the other to go up 5-3 second set. At the end of the day the No.5-seeded Giorgi was just too tough in the important moments, closing the No.4-seeded Bencic out in an hour and 24 minutes on Den Bosch's beautiful center court, 7-5, 6-3. 
 "It's been a great week for me and I'm so happy to bring this trophy home," Giorgi said.

Bencic into final of the Topshelf Open 2015

Less than 17 hours after prevailing in a near-three hour quarterfinal marathon against fellow WTA Rising Star Kristina Mladenovic, the No.4-seeded Bencic took the court again and this time she was just too on top of her game, storming out to a 6-3, 3-1 lead and, after the No.2-seeded Jankovic caught up to 3-3, reeling off three more games in a row - and the last eight points - to close it out, 6-3, 6-3.
"Everything worked well for me. I played a really good match," Bencic beamed. 
"My serve could have worked better, but it was a little bit windy, so it was tricky. 
But other than that I played really well against JJ, which is always difficult because she gets a lot of balls back, and makes you hit an extra shot.

Bencic advances into TOPSHELF OPEN 2015.

Bencic, the No.4 seed this week, had an even tighter fight on her hands if that's possible, edging No.7 seed and fellow WTA Rising Star Kristina Mladenovic in two hours and 51 minutes, 7-6(4), 6-7(4), 7-5. 

 Up a set and 6-5, Bencic actually had match point on the Mladenovic serve, but the Frenchwoman saved it and snuck the set out in a tie-break, even breaking for a 5-3 lead in the third and a chance to serve for the match. She had three match points in that game too - but Bencic saved them all. "I had match point in the second set and she turned the match around - she was playing very, very well," Bencic said. "She had so many chances to close it out at 5-3 in the third set but I just tried to play without fear, and the match turned again. I was so happy I could close it out with two great serves."

Surface: Grass 
Director: Marcel Hunze 

Held at the Autotron Rosmalen exhibition complex in southern Netherlands about 7 km east of 's-Hertogenbosch the week after the French Open, the Topshelf Open serves as a chance for many players to get acclimated to the grass in preparation for Wimbledon. Launched as an ATP tournament in 1990, it became a joint event in 1996. Champions include Martina Hingis, Kim Clijsters, Mary Pierce and two-time titlist Justine Henin, who won the last of her 43 titles here in 2010.
The lone Dutch winner was Michaella Krajicek in 2006. The tournament's title sponsor, Topshelf Megastores, is one of Europe's major specialists in the sports, fashion and outdoor field.

Coco Vandeweghe conquers Topshelf Open 2014

To say that Vandeweghe was a long shot at the beginning of the tournament is an understatement. She wasn't even in the main draw to start - she had to come through qualies - and once she made it through those qualies, there were five Top 20 players in the main draw, led by Simona Halep. 
 But with a few of the favorites getting bounced early, and some stellar serving during the week - she dropped 81 aces in seven matches, including a whopping 19 against Marina Erakovic in the first round - Vandeweghe went all the way to the title, taking out No.7 seed Garbiñe Muguruza and No.8 seed Klara Koukalova en route to the final, then capping the week with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Zheng Jie. 
Though Zheng wasn't seeded, she had just as much grass court cred as anyone in the draw - she did reach the Wimbledon semifinals in 2008, after all. 
But Vandeweghe was just too good - she lost just one point on her first serve (27 of 28) and never faced a single break point in the 70-minute match.

Simona Halep was forced to retire at the Topshelf Open 2014. Halep in Wimbledon?

Halep, the No.1 seed at the International-level grass court event, did a good job of rallying to win the first set - she was down 4-1 but managed to squeak it out, 7-5 - but down 3-2 in the second set the pain was just a little too much to handle. 

Beck advanced with a 5-7, 3-2 retirement victory. The World No.3 is still hopeful for a good run at Wimbledon, where she'll be the No.3 seed. 
 "I think it was a good match today," she said after the match. "The injury isn't very dangerous, but I was cold on the court and the muscle at my shoulder and rib was contracted, and the physio told me I should stop playing, because it could have gotten worse. But I will be fine for Wimbledon." It may not have come the way she wanted it, but Beck, a WTA Rising Star, scored her first Top 10 win.
