The finale featured superb classic grass court techniques from both players, but the gallant Justine held stronger in the duel of nerves in the tiebreaker. The 3x Belgian Roland Garros champion, and 2004 Russian Roland Garros winner will now head to Wimbledon on a grass court high. "It was very close at the end. Anastasia never gives up, she's a real fighter. It was a question of nerves in the tiebreaker. But I've won my first grass title (here). I've had a wonderful time" - Justine Justine was taken by total surprise as the level of Myskina's tennis was of superior quality compared to their Paris 4th round match less than two weeks. The Russian came from 2-4 behind, and played outstanding points with her deep two handed backhands to take the first set 4-6. The great Belgian heard the wake up call, and fired back with a dazzling array of grass style tennis. Net attacks, volleys, chips, slices, and were Justine's calling cards as she diced up the Russian's groundstroke patterns. Order was restored at 6-1 in the second set for Justine. The third set showcased the push, and pull dynamics of the best previous matches against Myskina for Justine. The set was played at a tension filled pace where every point was treated as a match point. Naturally, the conclusion was decided by the ultimate battle of will, desire, and skill with the tiebreaker. Justine raced to her first grass court title since 2001 in the Netherlands where she defeated Kim Clijsters in the final at the Heineken Trophy. Justine won the tiebreaker 7-5.
