Already a veteran of the WTA Tour, Greta Arn gets her second WTA Tour title by winning the 2011 Auckland Classic, defeating defending champion, Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, who is currently ranked at #23. Her first WTA title came in Estoril in 2006.
Her victory here was a big surprise to everyone, as Greta was not even in the main draw and was only able to enter as some players withdrew. She should enter the Top 75 next week because of this championship. She is currently at #88. This was her path to the final -
F - Yanina Wickmayer (BEL) (#23) 61 63
SF - Julia Goerges (GER) (#40) 76(3) 63
QF - Maria Sharapova (RUS) (#18) 62 75
2R - Sofia Arvidsson (SWE) (#53) 46 75 75
1R - Zuzana Ondraskova (CZE) (#83) 61 60
Greta defeated five players all currently ranked higher than her. And at 31 already, she has once again shown that age is not anymore an issue at the WTA Tour.
