by bahamaderek on May.23, 2009, under Alexandra Dulgheru
Alexandra Dulgheru defeated eight opponents in Warsaw. It is almost as if she would have won a Grand Slam. The Romanian went through qualifying to get to the final, where she defeated Alona Bonarenko 7-6, 3-6, 6-0, for her first WTA title.
Daniela Hantuchova, Dulgheru’s last „victim” was obviously disappointed with her loss to the 201 ranked player but she was full of praise for Alexandra. – Today she played a lot better than her ranking would suggest – commented Daniela. Hantuchova also joked that one of the reasons she was beaten was that her cap was the wrong color. – Maybe I should have worn yellow; I’ve been winning in that one…
Daniel Dobry, the Romanian’s coach was incredibly proud of his protégé: – It’s incredible, the girl did it! Amazing week! How she fought out there! She was great!
