With all eyes on tomorrow's First Round play in "La Ville Lumiere" usually translated into English as the "City of Lights" let's not forget the players who won this weeks tournaments.

Aravane Rezai of France won her first WTA title at Strasbourg, France


Guillermo Garcia Lopez of Spain also won his first ever ATP title at Kitzbuhel in Austria.


In what was probably the most stunning win of all Qualifier Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania played her way into the winners circle at Warsaw. The win takes her from #283 in the world to #81.
