Estoril POR, 30.04. – 05.05.2012 / International $220K clay
KAIA KANEPI — ROBERTA VINCI / 23. ITA /
6:2 | 7:5
Kaia won
Kaia won and will play in her second WTA final in 2012 tomorrow.
Kaia's own words: "It was a good match. In the first set I played well and I was also lucky - many balls hit the line. It was totally my set. In the second set I hit the same way but I made more mistakes - did not make the lines. The opponent gained some confidence and started to play better and it got complicated. When I was 5:2 down, I thought that, well, I need to keep trying and see what can be done - do not give up. Then the tables started to turn. In overall, I felt good through the match, I knew that was playing well.
Tomorrows opponent is tough, I have played with her couple of years back. Final is final, I must play well in order to win it."
Kaia's opponent in tomorrow's final is Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP, WTA 58)
The draw for the next WTA tournament Madrid Open is also available. More information here
