The top seeds from the previous event were dominant once again. Kaitlin Staines(AUS) went through without dropping a set to claim the title for the second week. This time she cruised past last week’s finalist Sara Tsukamoto(JPN) in the semis and faced Carol Lee(NMI) in the final. Lee began strongly racing to a 4-2 lead but after that it was all Staines as she won six games in a row to take the set 6-4 and then rolled her much younger opponent 6-1 in the second.<\/span><\/p>\n

However Hsu made it two titles in a row winning 6-0 6-4.<\/span><\/p>\n
