Kirsten Flipkens Wins First WTA Title in Quebec City

Kirsten Flipkens has always lived under the shadows of her country's two top women's tennis players, Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin.  She was a top 100 player in 2009 and 2010.  However, today, with those two already in retirement, she has become Belgium's next hope.  She finally makes a breakthrough this week as she wins her very first WTA title here in Quebec City.  This should push her back into the top 100 again, after being ranked #102 before the Quebec City tournament.

She won over four players ranked much higher than her, which really shows her potential and what she can be capable of.  I just hope she gets more successes after her great run here.

This was her path to the championship -

F- Lucie Hradecka (CZE) (#60) 61 75
SF - Mona Barthel (GER) (#36) 76(6) 76(3)
QF - Anna Tatishvili (GEO) (#52) 62 30 Retd
2R - Mirjana Lucic (CRO) (#113) 64 36 76(5)
1R - Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) (#13) 26 63 75
