ANGELIQUE KERBER CULMINA LAS 8 DEL ABIERTO DE ESTAMBUL 2013.


By virtue of her win in the quarterfinals of the Generali Ladies Linz on Friday, Angelique Kerber has secured the eighth and final spot in the singles field at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships - Istanbul, which runs from October 22 to 27 - just a week and a half away... For the second year in a row - and just the second year in the 42-year history of the event - each of the eight players in the singles field will represent a different country: 

Serena Williams (United States), 
Victoria Azarenka (Belarus), 
Agnieszka Radwanska (Poland), 
Li Na (China), 
Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic), 
Sara Errani (Italy), 

Jelena Jankovic (Serbia) and finally Angelique Kerber (Germany). 

 The singles draw ceremomy will be held at 6pm on Sunday, October 20, and can be viewed right here on wtatennis.com via WTA Live. The two alternate positions will be determined in the current and upcoming WTA events this and next week, and will also be announced prior to the draw ceremony. The Top 8 singles players and Top 4 doubles teams will compete in Istanbul for a record-setting $6 million prize money purse and the most prestigious title on the WTA calendar after the Grand Slams.
 "Congratulations to Angelique on her qualification for the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships. She will be a great addition to this year's player field," said WTA Chairman & CEO Stacey Allaster.
 "If Istanbul's debut staging of the Championships was stunning, last year's was even better, and I have no doubt the best will be saved for last. This has truly been a People's Championships and our players are ready to show their best tennis in front of the amazing Turkish fans for the third and final time.
" Having never finished inside the Top 30 beforehand, Kerber had an absolute breakthrough 2012 season - she finished the year No.5 - and now she's on the verge of another Top 10 finish after an impressively consistent 2013 season. The German has reached two finals (Monterrey and Tokyo), four semifinals (Sydney, Indian Wells, Stuttgart and Linz - still going on), and another four quarterfinals.
 "I'm so excited to be returning to Istanbul for the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships. The fans last year were amazing and I look forward for the chance to play against the best players in the world." The teams in the doubles field at the season finale will be Errani and Roberta Vinci, Peng Shuai and Hsieh Su-Wei, Nadia Petrova and Katarina Srebotnik, and Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina. 
 Following two successful, record-breaking editions, Istanbul hosts the WTA Championships for the third and final year in 2013. In 2012, the tournament attracted more than 73,000 fans during six days of competition, the highest attendance at the year-end event since 2000. Broadcast coverage reached 167 countries, and the overall hours produced increased 25 percent, including live matches, match replays and highlights. Nearly 42 million fans followed the on-court and behind-the-scenes action via WTA social media and digital platforms, and it was a record-setting week for the official WTA website that week, with approximately 4.8 million page impressions and nearly 500,000 unique visitors.

CARA BLACK Y SANIA MIRZA VENCEN LOS DOBLES EN PEKIN 2013. CHINA OPEN.


CARA BLACK_SANIA MIRZA/PARRA SANTONJA_VERA DUSHEVINA 62 62

 La pareja compuesta por la zimbabue Cara Black y la india Sania Mirza ganó el torneo de dobles femenino de Pekín al derrotar hoy en la final a la española Arantxa Parra Santonja y la rusa Vera Duchevina, a dos mangas en un fantástico partido lleno de emociones y con un público no muy abundante, pero entusiasmado con el juego de las tenistas.


Black y Mirza se impusieron en una 67 minutos. 



SERENA WILLIAMS CONQUISTA EL CIELO DE PEKÍN. CHINA OPEN 2013

WILLIAMS_JANCOVIC 62 62

a tenista estadounidense Serena Williams, número 1 del mundo, se proclamó este domingo campeona del torneo WTA de Pekín, al ganar la final contra la serbia Jelena Jankovic en dos mangas.
La menor de las hermanas Williams, de 32 años, suma el décimo título del año y el 56º de su carrera en individuales. Tras adjudicarse con facilidad la 1 manga, en el segundo Williams volvió a sufrir de la espalda, al igual que en la semifinal contra la polaca Agnieszka Radwanska. 


Esto permitió a Jankovic romperle el servicio y ponerse 2-1 arriba.
 Pero al cambiar de lado, la norteamericana recuperó su mejor forma y se llevó los cinco juegos siguientes, para resolver la final en poco menos de hora y media.


 "Estoy muy emocionada; al comienzo de la semana no pensaba que ganaría este torneo", declaró la campeona olímpica de 2012, que luego dirigió algunas palabras en chino a la afición pekinesa.
 "Son los fans los que me dan ganas de jugar, y venir aquí es una oportunidad muy hermosa", aseguró. "Serena ha sido muy fuerte este domingo; todas mis felicitaciones para ella", dijo Jankovic, ganadora en Pekín en 2008. 


 Williams confirmó en la capital china su claro dominio del circuito femenino, con su 73ª victoria de la temporada. Desde su eliminación contra la francesa Virginie Razzano en la primera vuelta de Roland-Garros 2012 y el comienzo de su colaboración con el francés Patrick Mouratoglou, Williams sólo perdió seis partidos (uno de ellos por abandono), de 110 disputados. 
 Por su lado, Jankovic, de 28 años, proseguirá en el el top 10 mundial el lunes en el ránking actualizado de la WTA.
