Just great for Bogdan: Runner-up in Roland Garros

[8 June 2008]

Elena Bogdan finished the second grand slam of the year as a runner-up, but what a great success is this result for her.

History in Roland Garros Juniors began on court number two with the all romanians final between Elena and Simona. After a good start for Ema, 3-1 and one ball away from 4-1 lead, Simona just turned the odds and finished the set with 64, pushing the lead in second set at 5-2 and two match balls. It wasn't enough for her to win the title at that moment, Ema struggling to came back. She won four consecutive games, lost the fifth, but incredible in tiebreak, so the match went on the third set. Few points decided the winner, but both players deserves the pride.

Final score: Elena Bogdan - Simona Halep: 46, 76(3), 26.

Because of this result Romania has the world number 1 ITF Juniors ( Simona Halep ) and Elena moved 3 positions from 9 to 6.

Congratulations Elena!
