THE Maleeva site!
Magdalena is back (at last)!
By mixing high balls with drop shots and relying on a powerful
forehand, Magdalena Maleeva managed to destabilize her 24-year-old
opponent on Sunday, depriving her at the same time from her first ever
title on the WTA tour.
It seemed that Anne Kremer had done the hardest part when she took the
first set, having broken at 4-3 after Maleeva had been up 40-15 on her
serve. The Bulgarian quickly reacted by rapidly taking the next five
games (5-0) without allowing Kremer to win a single point on her first
two service games.
From then on, Magdalena Maleeva never let her opponent get back into
the match by constantly keeping her under pressure. A double fault from
Kremer allowed her to break serve as she was 3-2 up and cruise to
victory.
"I'm very happy, but I'm exhausted. I almost feel dead", commented
Magdalena Maleeva.
