Poor Giorgi, third final in a row and now title... But this time she really had quality opponent.

 

And Stephens! She either wins title or losses opening match of a tournament! Just too bad she lost matches in Melbourne, Indian Wells and Miami. First title on clay and it is Premier one. Four titles in last eight months. Her talent and athleticism very never indisputable. Mentality might failed her at aforementioned tournaments but her biggest issue is lack of motivation and laziness. Time to sort the things out. Well done

 

And what a bizarre third set from Monaco and Sock... :o 

 

Borna disappointed...

Juan  His first title since 3 years and he back to the top100 in ranking, good week for Argentinians men's players

And this is very important for Monaco, because rank list published on Monday will be used for cut off for Roland Garros main draw entry list.

 

And this is the first time since 2009 that two Argentine players win titles in the same week. Last time Del Potro won in Auckland and Nalbandian in Sydney

Yep, I know about this that ranking which will be published tomorrow will be used to RG main draw  Janowicz is now 104th, so without any PR's used he would be last player with direct entry, but for sure some players will use PR's as Del Potro, Haas (), Benneteau and Baker for example.

Yes, but also there will be some withdrawals for sure...

Yes, for example Janowicz himself may withdraw

What's up with him actually? What kind of injury he is suffering from, apart the brain one?

He have injured knee, exactly patella, he had surgery of this after our Davis Cup match against Argentina and still isn't fit, can't even training on the court
