Mauresmo charges into Antwerp final; Clijsters still to play

Tennis Betting Lines

02/17/2007 - Antwerp, Belgium (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Amelie Mauresmo will participate in her first WTA final of the year Sunday, vying for the diamond-studded racket trophy thanks to a hard-fought, three-set victory over seventh-seeded Anna Chakvetadze at the $600,000 Proximus Diamond Games.

Mauresmo can walk home with a $88,265 check and the $1.3 million racket, which is awarded to a player here if she wins three titles within a five-year span.

Needless to say, Mauresmo's record in Antwerp speaks for itself. The top- seeded and former world No. 1 held on for a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 victory over Chakvetadze.

She could meet crowd favorite and second-seeded Kim Clijsters in a rematch of last year's final. Clijsters will take the court Saturday afternoon against France's Tatiana Golovin.

Clijsters, appearing in her final Antwerp event, captured this tournament in 2004 and was also a runner-up here in 2003. The popular star will retire from the WTA Tour at the end of this season.

The reigning Wimbledon champion Mauresmo captured the last two championships here in Antwerp, but it has been a tough, injury-plagued road back. She suffered a leg injury earlier this year then fell in the fourth round at the Australian Open before making it to the semifinals of the Gaz de France Open in Paris last week.
