Bojana Bobusic wins first Pro Tour
South Perth’s Bojana Bobusic (pictured in Orange) was
victorious in collecting her first Pro Tour title at the City
of Mount Gambier Blue Lake International.
Bobusic, the No. 8 seed had to knock off a number of top
seeds before claiming her first Pro Tour title by defeating
Korean Sung-Hee Han 6-3 6-2.
After her narrow loss to Olivia Rogowska in Port Pirie
last month, Bobusic capitalised on her top form to take the title effortlessly yesterday. Bobusic
did not lose a set on her run to the final.
The first round saw her whistle past Ashley Keir (ACT) 6-2 6-1. She went on to beat Karolina
Wlodarczak (Vic) 6-4 6-3 before knocking out New Zealander and No. 3 seed Sacha Jones 6-4
7-5. The semi then saw her defeat, for a second week in a row, No. 2 seed Isabella Holland (Qld)
6-2 6-3.
Though the win hasn’t sunk in for Bobusic, she was thrilled to have won her first Pro Tour title. “I
played well and I’m really happy to get the win,” Bojana Bobusic said.
“It hasn’t really sunk in yet, but coming off last week and not being able to get the win and
having made a couple of other finals this year, I’m just really excited and happy I could come
away with it today.”
Tyra Calderwood (NSW) and Stephanie Bengson (NSW) took out the women’s doubles title
after No. 2 seeds Sally Peers (Vic) and Isabella Holland (Qld) withdrew due to injury.
