Alexandra Dulgheru chose the Warsaw Open as her first tour tournament, and it was a good choice. Today, the Romanian newcomer, ranked number 201 in the world, defeated 6th seed Daniela Hantuchova in the semifinals, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1. Her opponent will be 8th-seeded Alona Bondarenko, who defeated Anne Keothavong, 6-2, 7-5.

I'm not even sure if her ranking would have allowed her to, but it's a shame that Dulgheru didn't get to play the qualies for RG!
I agree, Craig.
well, she was almost about to give up this tournament given that she missed her plane to Warsaw... luckily the qualifications were postponed one day because of the rain, and so she did eventually get there in time to participate
I didn't know that, Luci. That makes it all even more interesting.
