she now has a tier IV, a tier III, and a tier II. Will she get a tier I

Hurrah!

Wow ! Wozniacki v Chakvetadze 2-6 6-1 6-4.
It takes a lot to return from 2-6 against #12,
let alone the fact that Anna was playing in front
of Russian crowd. Well done Caroline.
Petrova will be next, unless of course
Lapushchenkova upsets her.

Caroline retired at 4-6 2-3 v Petrova.
Any news about the injury ?? I hope it’s not serious...

Caro just finished her fourth WTA final of the year (and of her career). It was a great battle against Dementieva. Caro was really strong in the first set, winning it 6-2. Dementieva begun being more aggressive in the second and broke Caro in the very first service game of the second set. It was the only break in the entire second set so Dementieva won the second set 6-4. More breaks in the 3rd set. Caro breaks first and leads 2-0. Dementieva breaks back to 2-2 and also gets a crucial break to 6-5 and the chance to serve for the match. Dementieva holds mp at 6-5 40-30, but Caro wins that point and the game. 3rd set thus ended in a tie-break. Unfortunately for Caro, she lost 7-4. Dementieva was good in the tie-break. Caro looked so exhausted after the match. She had a long year. But congratz to her for giving Dementieva such a close match. Hopefully Caro will break the top10 soon. She will jump to a career high of 13 tomorrow and when Chakvetadze loses her YEC 2007 points, Caro will advance to 12

thanks for posting. She looks good.
