February 2016 WTA Player Of The Month Finalists

Roberta Vinci: The 33-year-old Italian continued her career renaissance in February, all capped off when she became the oldest woman to make her Top 10 debut following a title run at the St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy. No.2 seed in St. Petersburg, Vinci earned back-to-back wins over former No.1 Ana Ivanovic and top seeded Belinda Bencic, who recently became the youngest new member of the Top 10 in six years. A finalist at last year’s US Open, Vinci played some spectacular tennis through the Middle Eastern Swing, as well, narrowly losing a classic to World No.3 Agnieszka Radwanska in Doha.

Sara Errani: Not to be outdone, Errani displayed vintage form through the Middle East Swing, winning the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships over Barbora Strycova in the final. Playing doubles with Carla Suárez Navarro, Errani also excelled on the doubles court, reaching the semis in Dubai and the final at the Qatar Total Open, losing to sisters Chan Hao-Ching and Chan Yung-Jan. Her run in Dubai brought her back into the Top 20 and her highest ranking since last August at No.17.

Carla Suárez Navarro: The Spaniard ended the Middle East Swing with a bang – and a win in Doha – defeating 18-year-old Jelena Ostapenko, 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the final. Along with her solid doubles results, Suárez Navarro dropped just two games against Radwanska in the semifinals, and rocketed up to a career-high ranking of No.6. The veteran declared a Top 5 ranking to be her goal in 2016, and has nearly accomplished that feat in two months following a strong start to the season that also saw her reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
