WTA Intl PTT Pattaya Open 1/28 - 2/3/2013

[Miles]

Not sure who I think will win the final, Lisicki and Kirilenko are both good players so I think it will be a close match.

Ummm...might want to check the live scores tab at the top of the forum. The final already took place hours ago, and Kirilenko won it in the third set TB. But you were correct that it would be a close one.

Kirilenko did well to fight back in the final and that last set was great to watch. I knew it was going to be a close match but not as close as it was. I feel both players did really well, Lisicki came out with the fight in the first set before Kirilenko found her feet and won the second emphatically...that last set however could have been anyones so well done to both players.
