I’ve uploaded the next picture package. Today I can show you my semifinal pics from singles and a doubles match. I think these pics became really cool 
You can watch the pictures here.
Summary of the matches I watched:
The day started with the singles match between Svetlana Kuznetsova and Elena Dementieva. It was a good match but Dementieva became more and more problems with her serve and made a lot of unforced errors. Svetlana Kuznetsova played the complete match on a high level and won the match in the end.
Between the singles matches a doubles semifinal was played: Bethanie Mattek-Sands / Nadia Petrova vs. Virginia Ruano Pascual / Zheng Jie. Mattek and Petrova played a strong first set but became unconcentrated in the second which Ruano Pascual and Zheng won. In the deciding match tiebreak the Russian-American duo played strong again and won the match.
The match of the day was Dinara Safina vs. Flavia Pennetta. The Italian played strong in the beginning like in her quarterfinal vs. Jankovic and benefits on many errors of the world No. 1 Safina. When Pennetta led a set and a break Safina turned the paper and played great tennis. In the third set Pennetta wasn’t able to play competitive and lost it with a bagel.
The 2nd doubles match I didn’t watch because it was late and Pennetta made a long suitable rest for her match at the side of Gisela Dulko…
Tomorrow I’ll try to upload practice pics of all three days I stayed in Stuttgart

Today I’ve uploaded the last pics from Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart last week. You now can watch my pics from the singles final and all pics from all training sessions I attended the whole three days.
Before the singles final began there was time to watch both finalists – Nadia Petrova and Jelena Jankovic – warming up for the final. Despite she lost her doubles match on Saturday Agnieszka Radwanska played a few balls on the Show Court at the Lifesyle Village. Returning to Center Court doubles finalists Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Patty Schnyder were practicing half an hour. All practice pics of the whole weekend!
After a great show of some international artists (I’ll upload the video the next days) the singles final began.
Nadia Petrova and Jelena Jankovic showed a really good match. The first set was tied but Jankovic reached the only break so she won the first with 6-4. In a more The second set was more open and there were more breaks. Nadia Petrova struggled at the end of the set with her serve so Jankovic won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix with 6-4 6-3. I think it was a deserved title because all matches I watched of her she played some good tennis.
The ceremony was a highlight when Jankovic got the key to her new Porsche. It was really funny when she drove a little round on court – but you’ll see it in the video I made of the whole ceremony.
Because I had a 6 hours drive back to Berlin I had to left so I couldn’t watch the doubles final…

Stuttgart pics from Saturday

Today I continue with my report and pictures from Saturday in Stuttgart. Beside the pics from the semifinals in singles I’ve also uploaded some pics of the doubles semifinals.
When I entered the Porsche Arena first I followed a training session of Victoria Azarenka. At the so called Lifestyle Village the Operating Tournament Director and former German top player Anke Huber played tennis with some kids. Then I watched Jelena Jankovic on Court 1 at her practice. When I returned to Center Court doubles partners Anna-Lena Groenefeld & Patty Schnyder were warming up for their semifinal in the evening. At the last session before singles semifinals began another doubles pair did their practice: Czech partners Andrea Hlavackova & Lucie Hradecka. All pics of these training sessions will be uploaded tomorrow!
Then the first singles semifinal began: Victoria Azarenka vs. Nadia Petrova. It was a good match but Azarenka seemed to be very tired after her long quarterfinal the day before. So Petrova, who won at Stuttgart in 2006, became the first finalist after winning 6-4 6-4.
The second singles semifinal was the highlight of the day! The new world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic and Wimbledon champion Venus Williams played a great match over three sets in nearly three hours. The first two sets were very tied. But in the third Venus Williams made many errors so Jelena Jankovic joined Petrova in the final with a 6-7(8) 7-5 6-2 win.
After a short break the first semifinal in doubles between Anna-Lena Groenefeld & Patty Schynder and Victoria Azarenka & Agnieszka Radwanska began. The German/Swiss pair lost the first set because Groenefeld made too many volley errors at the net. But she and Schnyder turned the paper so the match tiebreak has to bring the decision. At the end Groenefeld & Schnyder won 2-6 6-4 11-9.
After a long day again I only followed the first seven games of the doubles match between Kveta Peschke / Rennae Stubbs and Andrea Hlavackova / Lucie Hradecka.

Quarterfinal pics from Stuttgart online

Yesterday I started with the venue pictures from WTA tournament in Stuttgart last week. Today I’ve uploaded the first pics of the players from singles quarterfinals!
I left my home city Berlin at 4 am to arrive in Stuttgart on time when the gates were opened. Before the matches started I followed some training sessions of players like Nadia Petrova, Vera Zvonareva and Dinara Safina (pictures will come the next days).
The first match of the day was Victoria Azarenka vs. Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva. And it became a great match with long rallies and some nice shots. The match lasted nearly three hours until Azarenka won 7-6(6) 3-6 6-1 to become the first player who reached the semis.
After a short break Nadia Petrova and Na Li, who defeated Serena Williams the round before, entered the center court. But it was the most uninteresting match of the whole weekend. Li made many errors and Petrova played very constant. In the end Petrova won 6-2 6-3.
The third match of the day was Venus Williams vs. the player of the year Dinara Safina. Venus played wonderful and powerful tennis. It was a good match but Dinara seemed tired after losing the first set. So Williams won 6-4 6-2.
Then the match of the day came when Jelena Jankovic & Vera Zvonareva played great and thrilling match. After Jankovic won the first set in a tiebreaker Zvonareva led with a break in the second set when Jankovic got injured at her toe nail. But Jankovic continued and turned the paper to win 7-6(8) 7-6(5).
After that match I left the Porsche Arena after a long long day so I missed the last doubles quarterfinal…
