Fernando Verdasco, Champion of the Barcelona Open

Fernando Verdasco beated Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 and won the Barcelona Open 2010.

Verdasco ensured an eighth straight Spanish winner at the tournment after beating Soderling in a battle of tremendous courage. Verdasco broke Soderling on consecutive service games and took the first set before faltering in the second to even the match.

The second set was very hard for Verdasco. Unfortunatly, his serve was broken and Soderling won the second set 6-4. The third set was also very difficult fot both of them, but Verdasco took advantage of Sooderling's mistake and concluded the matcn
6-4.

It is impressive to see how Verdasco became champion of the Barcelona open because he wasn't the favorite player to win the tournment. In my opinion he is one of the players who has the coolest moves and abilities of all. I love his back hand and his serve wish are very fast.

Clijsters wins Sony Ericsson Open

Belgium's former World number 1 Kim Clijsters won the final in 58 minutes towards Venus Williams 6-2, 6-1 to win her second Sony Ericsson Open title in Miami Saturday.


Clijsters faced no break points throughout the final. In addition, she won 17 points in a row in the second set, while Williams won only eight points throughout the set.
The third-seeded Williams was one victory away from winning her fourth title at the Sony Erisson Open and also her third straight title, but the 14th-seeded Belgian ended the 15-match winning streak of the American seven-time Grand Slam champion. The two are now leveled at 6-6 in career meetings, with Clijsters winning both their encounters since returning to the Tour.

Clijsters defeated the following players on her way to the $700,000 prize in Miami: Petra Kvitova, Shahar Peer, last year's champion Victoria Azarenka, Samantha Stosur, Justine Henin and finally Venus Williams.

This achivement is projected to lift Clijsters back into the Top 10 for the first time since she returned to the Sony Ericsson Open WTA Tour last year.

I think that Clijsters has had everyone impressed by her hadly work over this months. It is impressive because not everybody starts playing tennis again after retairing. I believe she wil conquer more tournaments in the futere, and if she continues like that, she could possibly become the number one of the world.
