WTA Player of the Week (September 19, 2010): Jarmila Groth of Australia

Jarmila Groth of Australia jumps to #41 from #55 this week, up 14 places, after winning her first WTA title in Guangzhou, China.  She is one of Australia's newest tennis hopes and from the way she plays, she looks like Top 20, even Top 10 material!  This was her path to her title -

1R - Nina Bratchikova (RUS) 6-2, 6-0
2R - Tamarine Tanasugarn (THA) 6-1, 6-4
QF - Maria Elena Camerin (ITA) 6-0, 6-2
SF - Edina Gallovits (ROU) 6-0, 6-1
Finals - Alla Kudryavtseva (RUS) 6-1, 6-4

She just lost 15 games towards her title! Imagine that! I look forward to seeing her play well in other tournaments and I won't be surprised if she makes a dent in next year's slams.
