Myskina captured this event for the second straight year, running off 10 straight games to defeat Elena Dementieva 7-5, 6-0 in the tournament's first all-Russian final. Nikolay Davydenko saved three match points in rallying past Britain's Greg Rusedski 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 for his second title this year.

Myskina turned her ankle during the second set Thursday. The Russian hobbled to the sidelines in tears in her match against Shinobu Asagoe, had her ankle taped and returned to win 7-6 (5), 7-5. Myskina underwent treatment late into Thursday night, with more therapy Friday morning.

Myskina proceeded to dominate the final games of the match with some powerful stroke play. The 85th ranked Russian was to loose only one further game in the match, she even managed to avert the need to serve out the match by breaking Kournikova at 3-5 to secure a memorable victory.

In the second set, Myskina took a 4-2 lead, but the Moscow-born Golovin made the most of her opponent’s errors to break back for 4-4. As Kuznetsova had in the previous match, Myskina threw her racket on the ground in anger.

Soon after the match ended, a dejected Myskina shrugged her shoulders about the slice on her little finger. It hadn't affected her play she said, all mellow. It was simply her own poor performance that led to qualifier Peng advancing to the quarter-finals. It was ... the light swirling wind and heat on centre court that the Russian found trying.
