23-May, Final:
Chinappa stops Schmol
run in Saarbrucken
Tobias Baab reports
India's Joshna Chinappa, the second seed, ended the run of
Gaby Schmol in the final to claim the German Ladies Open title in
Saarbrucken.
Chinappa was able to take an early lead in all games, while Schmohl
made too many mistakes throughout the match.
After her upset win over top seed Line Hansen yesterday, Schmohl
seemed a bit tired. She was always under high pressure, due to
Chinappa's perfect length and eye for her opponent.
The Indian was really happy with her performance. "I tried to avoid
any mistakes and I was quite successful," she said.
A perfect performance by Chinappa, who didn't drop a single game
during the whole event.

21-May, First Round & Quarters:
Day one in Saarbrucken
Tobias Baab on the quarters
Top seed Line Hansen eased through to the quarters, winning
3/0 against a sacrificially fighting Waters, but she never seemed
able to threaten her Danish counterpart seriously.
All four games between Coline Aumard and Gaby Schmol were
very close and they could have gone either way. Aumard had the
better chances, but couldn't make the big points, while Schmohl
remained calm.
An impressive performance by the young French qualifier Melissa
Alves, who achieved the biggest upset of the day. Sharp, solid
gameplay to beat fourth seed Anna-Carin Forstadius..
No chance at all for European Junior champion Carrie Ramsey against
a fast and confident second seed Joshna Chinappa.
