WTA Portugal Open 2014

Congratulations to CSN and Sveta reaching the final!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both CSN and Sveta had good wins in making the final.

It is the third straight year that CSN has made the final.If she does win,she will achieve her first WTA title....can it be third time lucky for CSN?

It is Sveta's first final in three years and her first final on clay since she won Roland Garos in 2009.

I will pick CSN to win......though my heart will be with Sveta.

Saw Carla play a couple of years ago, she has really upped her game since then. Well deserved win against veteran Sveta! The game I covered with Carla was against Stephanie Dubois, and Carla lost in 3 sets, so again, I reiterate, how her game has improved!

Can't agree more.
Carla has established herself as the top Spaniard. She is ranked 15 and improving. Next stop is her home event in Madrid, she will enjoy her new trophy and her home crowd.
