Nice to see a rematch coming up Sunday between Sara Errani (ITA) and Anna Karolina Schmiedlova (SVK). They met earlier this year in Rio de Janiero where it was Errani who won. I think the victory goes to Schmiedlova who is a much more powerfull player than Errani. Schmiedlova has one victory this year from Katowice in Poland where she won over Camila Giorgi.

Good win for Karolina Schmiedlova. Errani had her chances but could not consolidate any time she broke Karolina. Sara did not play her best tennis.

Congrats to Anna Karolina for a great win in Romania. She picks up her 2nd title this year and 2nd overall. :clap
