Kerber through to the final. Decent week for her, hope she has a good clay season and a good showing in Madrid and Rome. Faces either Radwanska or Siegmund in the final.

Istanbul is going to have 2 finalists who are relative no names, at least to me. Buyukakcay (did I even spell that right?) is a player I've never heard of, I know Kovinic's name but not her game, and never heard of the lady Kovinic is playing right now either.

Hmm, so it IS possible to play Fed Cup & then still have a successful run the following week... Vika wouldn't know.

Çağla Büyükakçay won in Istanbul. She's the first Turkish woman to win a WTA tournament. And all that in front of her home crowd. Great stuff. :)

good for Cagla to win her home town tournament, hopefully she can build on it...I've never heard of her or seen her play though so I cant say much more than that

Siegemund had a good week to, I didn't realize she reached the finals as a qualifier until yesterday, makes it even more impressive even with the up and down nature of the tour. Good for Kerber winning at home as well, lets see how she does in the bigger clay tournaments now.

Can someone tell me why Schmiedlova can't win a match anymore? She's lost in the opening round like every tournament this year. She just lost 1-6 0-6 to Bertens and I think Schmiedlova was seeded as her ranking is still not half bad as she won a few titles last year. wtf happened ?

Shes always been inconsistent...but to be honest I don't get how she is even ranked what she is since she never seems to win anything, has she even won a match yet this year?

Just 2 match wins, one was at Fed Cup level.
They were over Arina Rodionova and Bacsinszky
