Anna Chakvetadze d Johanna Larsson - 61 62
This was Anna's 8th title & 1st in a million years. Ok, just over two.
In '07 Anna was ranked as high as #5 then she completely disappeared.
This win will move her back in the top 100 at #74.
As for Larsson, this was her 1st final - she will move up to #66.
An aside: I love that my spell-check had zero suggestions for Chakvetadze.
