Dominika Cibulkova derf. Marion Bartoli 6-1 7-5
Dominika wins another loosely defined Premier title as she preys on another weak field to win her 2nd career title. No doubt Cibulkova can upset anyone on a good day, but these few weeks before Olympics have been extremely disappointing with almost no top players playing. Marion is not playing well but still manages to reach the finals, scraping through her matches like her life depended on it. It wasn't going to be enough to take out Cibulkova. Thank goodness she lost because had she won, it would mean just show how sad the current state of WTA is.
Bastad:
Polona Hercog def. Mathilde Johansson 0-6 6-4 7-5
Polobna Hercog went from walking bye to winning a title! What a turnaround for her. Being absolutely pathetic for the first 8 games, she suddenly woke up and won the 2nd set and even led 5-1 in the 3rd set. She then proceeded to lose the next 4 games but as usual, the customary Johansson choke came in and Hercog won. You have to wonder if Johansson will ever win a title with her frail mental game. I think Mathilde will even lost a title match if she's facing some retired veteran. Polona defends her title and continues to hang on to a top 100 ranking. Congrats I guess.
