SF: Amanda Carreras WR 384 beat Raluca Olaru (ROU) WR 259 (CH 53 in 2009) by 3 & 3 biggrin

FINAL: Amanda Carreras WR 384 v (3) Teliana Pereira (BRA) WR 175 (= CH)

Like Amanda, 24-year-old Pereira is in the best form of her life - she won the 25K in Sevilla last month so is on a 9-match winning streak.

Unless something got lost in translation, I think Amanda won! 6-3 6-3

Argentine Tennis Association reports: Women's Circuit 25k TCA: Carreras (GBR) a Olaru (ROU) 63 63

"Another Report puts it more categorically: Amanda Carreras (GBR) def. Raluca Olaru (ROU) 6-3 y 6-3. La nacida en Gibraltar es la primera finalista.

Amanda's Final is due to start in an hour. In the meantime, here's a 2 minute report from ESPN deportes on GB's most bilingual (you'll see what I mean if you watch this - there isn't any English in it but it is clear elsewhere that English is her first language) tennis player:

If you don't understand the Spanish, there is some footage of Amanda in action too.

Amanda holds to 30. 1-2*

Initial impression - Pereira has a little bit more in terms of power and accuracy, though the latter may be due to nerves early in Amanda's first 25K Final.

I thought Azarenka/Sharapova were annoying with their ball striking noises, but Pereira's contrived "eehh-ya" is even worse!

1-1*
40-15* - 2 BP's for Amanda, Pereira plays an awful volley into the bottom of the net from 6 feet away and Amanda breaks.

*2-1
