Recovers and takes the tie-break 7-5 biggrin

Jodies opponent in the final is the Belarussian qualifier Yulia Hatouka. She was top seed in qualifying and is currently ranked 300.

However she has been in tremendous form this year, having played four tournaments - W15 Shymkent (won), W15 Shymkent (runner-up), W25 Moscow (runner-up), W25 Kazan (won)

Edit:- Her opponent in those two W25 finals was Urszula Radwanska, who is currently ranked 218.
