In a match between two veterans, dubbed as the 'oldest' finals in WTA history, Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand wins over Kimiko Date Krumm of Japan. The Thai and Japanese #1's have the combined ages of 73. Date Krumm was trying to break the record set by Billie Jean King, who is the oldest person to win a WTA title, a Birmingham title when she was 39, way back in 1983.
This was Tamarine's path to the championship -
Finals - Kimiko Date Krumm (JPN) (#56) 7-5, 6-7, 6-1
SFs - Marion Bartoli (FRA) (#16) 6-2, 7-5
QFs - Kai-Chen Chang (TPE) (#81) 6-3, 2-6, 6-4
2R - Coco Vandeweghe (USA) (#119) 5-7, 7-5, 6-4
1R - Magdalena Rybarikova (SVK) (#99) 6-2, 7-5
