Jelena Dokic Returns to the Winners' Circle
Jelena Dokic's (#91) last title came in 2002, a slew of five titles she won when she was at her peak (Rome, Tokyo, Moscow, Sarasota, Birmingham). And it was downhill after that. There were flashes of her brilliance, including that dream quarterfinal run in the Australian Open 2009. This week, she finally breaks her losing streak, and wins title #6 in Kuala Lumpur!
I've always been a fan of Jelena and it's really a pity that she hasn't been able to achieve her full potential. But there's time yet, and this year looks it's going to be a good year for her!
This was her path to the championship -
F - Lucie Safarova (CZE) (#35) 26 76(9) 64
SF - Michaella Krajicek (NED) (150) 62 63
QF - Bojana Jovanovski (SRB) (#55) 76(4) 62
2R - Kurumi Nara (JPN) (#131) 36 76(6) 62
1R - Francesca Schiavone (ITA) (#5) 26 76(1) 64
