Welcome to the thread Teresa.

Glad that you decided to join us here. I`m very envious of you that you got to see Masha in person. How good does she look in person? Anyway i hope that you won`t be a stranger and come around here often.

Eariler today we got another all hotties final in Rome between Jelena and Alize. In the end Jelena repeated as champion with a 6-2, 6-2 win. Great win for Jelena.

She played another nice solid match to get her first title of the year. As for Alize, tough loss for her.

It was obvious that her inexperience got the best of her in today`s match. Still i think Alize has nothing to be ashamed of. In fact she had a great week in Rome where she reached her first Tier I final and got her first wins over top 10 players. I really hope that she and Jelena can carry over the positive momentium from their great runs in Rome to Roland Garros. Also in the doubles finals, Iveta and Janette Husarova were defeated in straight sets by the always tough duo of Chang and Chuang 6-7(5), 3-6, which prevents a mini hotties title sweep. Tough loss there for Iveta. It was a good run while it lasted for her. Hopefully she`ll get a title soon, because she has been knocking on the door with the recent finals appearance lately.

So it was a great week in Rome for some of our hotties. Starting with Anna getting back on the winning track, Alize`s surprising run, another all hotties final four and Jelena repeating as champion. The only negative though was Masha having to withdraw before her semifinal match against Jelena.

Still it couldn`t dampen the great week. With her title win today, Jelena now joins Masha, Ana, Makiri, Flavia, Anna, Vera Z and the Bondarenko sisters in the hotties winners` circle. Hopefully some of our other favorites like Dani, Nikki and Tati can join the club soon.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s match along with a couple of more pics from Masha`s press conference yesterday.

I hate to see Alize crying.

Very classy of Jelena to comfort Alize and offers her some words of encouragement. Now that`s the good sportsmenship i like to see from our favorite ladies. clap:

I can`t say enough what a lovely cutie Alize is.

Jelena with her latest addition to the trophy case. BTW i like that she wore some fingernail polish during the match, although i think that red is a better color for her.

Great job ladies.

Lets keep it going at Roland Garros.
