It's great to see Jelena Dokic do well on the grass of 'S-Hertogenbosch, eventually reaching the finals. She, however, lost to Roberta Vinci, but the scoreline indicated a very close match! At 28, Jelena is still doing well in the tour, and has finally returned to the Top 50 after being away for seven years! Unfortunately, she faces Francesca Schiavone in the first round of Wimbledon. I do believe she has a good chance to win but she has to be very crafty as Schiavo's game is also good for grass.
