Danai Udomchoke and Olivia Rogowska win Burnie Challenger 2012
"My coach said I can celebrate wherever I want, so I went to McDonalds," announced Olivia Rogowska (photo) after beating Irina Khromacheva 6-3 6-3 for the Burnie title. Second seeded Australian after this win should achieve a new career high (#138 WTA in 2009 so far). She specializes in playing well in 25K tournaments Down Under so this result was expected and she was a main outright favourite for TA as well.
