Just watched Kim's first match back in YONKS! She was a bit rusty but got the W in three vs Oprandi.

Yip, I'd noticed that too. Good to see her back.

Looks like a new giant of a croatian is emerging onto the scene. 18 year old Mate Pavic has beaten Haase in the first round today!

Den'Boshch:
David Ferrer wins his 4th title of 2012 beating Philipp Petzschner 6-3 6-4. It's only his 2nd title on grass (he won the same tourney in 2008) and a good warm-up for Wimbledon.

[JAMES4578]

Well done Ferrer! Grass has never been his favourite of course,but it might give him some confidence.

[Katie]

Pleased for Ferrer! He's playing so well this year, four titles already. :)

[DaveArneRiise]

It looks as if U.Radwanska got a walk over against Kim Clijsters in her semi as she is up on LS against Petrova in the final. I hope Kim is OK?

Just found an article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/kim-clijsters-pulls-out-of-unicef-open-before-semifinals-due-to-stomach-strain/2012/06/22/gJQAwtifvV_story.html). She did in fact retire due to a stomach strain but it seems precautionary and she is going to play Wimbledon.

[Sallydaisy]

Yep, I just found this. She could probably still beat Jankovic in R1 tho'.
:p

ROSMALEN • ABDOMINAL INJURY FORCES KIM TO RETIRE (http://www.kimcnews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/rosmalen-abdominal-injury-forces-kim-to.html)


(22 JUNE) Kim has withdrawn from her semifinal match at the Unicef Open in Rosmalen with a slight abdominal injury. Kim's stomach muscles hindered her and made it quite painful for her to serve during her quarterfinal match and especially in the second set.

The abdominal injury is by no means a muscle tear; an irregular muscular fibre structure was diagnosed in 's Hertogenbosch.

This is thus a precautionary measure, taken in order not to jeopardize Kim's taking part in her last Wimbledon.

[JAMES4578]

Yes disappointing Kim had to pull out, but hopefully she'll be ok for Wimbledon.

[DaveArneRiise]

Petrova captures the womens title beating U.Radwanska 6-4 6-3

Congrats to David. :yahoo: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :trophy:

Erani and Vinci certainly in a rich vein of form, tight match though!
