Take Your Daughter to Victory Day in Prague

With seven year old daughter Tina watching in the stands, late-blooming Austrian Sybille Bammer won her second career title in Prague 7-6(4), 6-2, defeating Francesca Schiavone in the final.

Bammer is about the streakiest player I've ever seen, so I'm always amazed whenever she manages to string together more than a couple wins. She's been written off and come back about as many times as a player of her notoriety can be, and yet keeps managing to put up surprising results.

She's defending quarterfinalist points at the US Open, and while I'd be surprised to see her make the second week, it's certainly not out of the question should the right draw fall her way.

I don't think too much can be read into this win, but it is cool, just a few days before Kim Clijsters makes her comeback, to see another mom on the tour still getting it done.
