Fitz-Gerald Survives Bump in the Road

Fitz-Gerald tops Bailey in Four  <Sarah's Notebook>

Bay Club, San Francisco. Sunday May 12 2002

In my 85th career final, I pulled through in a four game final against Tania Bailey who fought well today.

I used my power and length to pick up where we had left off in the British Open, to dominate the first game. Tania came back after the break determined and fired up. She rallied and played some excellent cross courts from the front which caught me out of position a number of times.

I stood 8-3 down in the second, but rallied back to catch up to 7-8 before making an error that give Tania the game second game. At one-all I was determined to redouble my effort. I returned to court and was surprised to be able to immediately regain control and dominance for the rest of the match, providing a convincing win.

Now the tour moves on to Las Vegas, always a great tour stop for WISPA.
