Even if the Nurnberg tournament had 3 Germans as the top 3 seeds, we will have 2 Italians to play for the title.
Roberta Vinci and Karin Knapp will play to win the first title of their season. Roberta had a free pass to take advantage of a retiring Kerber in the semis. Karin didn’t have to fight much more to beat Arruabarrena 6-0 6-2 in just 66 minutes.
Vinci: It is going to be a tough final
Roberta is going for her 10th career title “It will be a tough final, for sure. We’re both Italian, and we’re friends, but it’s a final and we’ll both play to win.”
