Anna Chakvetadze Beats Everyone
// She won two tournaments in two weeks
Last week was very successful for Russian tennis players. Anna Chakvetadze won in Stanford her second tournament in two weeks, becoming sixth-ranked, which is the top rating point in her career. Dmitry Tursunov won in Indianapolis. It is his second victory in ATP tournaments.
After winning in Cincinnati last week, Russia’s Anna Chakvetadze did the same in Stanford. However, her way to the final was quite difficult. She had to play 3-set matches, and was rather tired by the final. Yet, she defeated India's Sania Mirza 6-3 6-2, winning her first Stanford classic title on Sunday.
Chakvetadze won the sixth title in her career, which is her fourth title this year. The victory in Stanford made Anna WTA’s sixth-ranked, which is the highest rating point in her career.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Dmitry Tursunov won in Indianapolis, although the tournament’s favorite was first seed Andy Roddick. It is Tursunov’s second victory in his career. It allowed him to move from the 27th to the 23rd position in the rankings.
