After upsetting the very hot Yanina Wickmayer in the semifinal, unseeded Timea Bacsinszky pulled off another surprise by beating #6 seed Sabine Lisicki 6-2, 7-5 in the finals of the Luxembourg Open, winning her first career WTA title.
Timea Bacsinszky is definitely one of the most fun players out there. When I saw her in the Bronx, she sort of danced out onto the court before the match wearing these enormous white headphones, which must have been uncomfortable with the enormous hoop earrings she was also wearing.
With a flashy, agressive game and flashy, aggressive clothing, she is the clear heiress to Tatiana Golovin's recently vacated throne as the wild child of the WTA. Here's hoping Timea can keep steadily moving up in the rankings into 2010. If she keeps improving at this rate, it would be no surprise at all to see her in the second week of a slam or two next year.
