Lera Solovieva came back from the City of Angels with another trophy and a bunch of ITF points. Lera won the USTA International Spring Championship in doubles and reached the quarterfinals in singles, impressing the spectators with her on-the-court skills and fighting spirit.

The results further escalate her rankings and clearly show that the girl is in-form to capture a few more titles during her European season. After a few weeks that Lera intends to spend back in Russia, she will play two tournaments in Italy followed by the Junior Roland Garros in Paris.

 

Lera made an impressive start to her 2008 world tour, as she won the doubles title and the hearts of Peruvian fans at the Inka Bowl in Lima.

It was a great week for Lera, as she reached both the singles and the doubles finals of the Peruvian Inca Bowl at the Rinconada Country Club in Lima.
She never dropped a set on the tournamentʼs red clay courts until the Saturday 6-4 2-6 6-1 victory over Dapkute/Oyen (LTU/BEL) in doubles. Winning this title together with a local partner, Claudia Razetto, turned Lera into a real Reruvian hero and celebrity. She also became the runner up in singles, leaving some ranking points to be gained in this competition next year. Having not played many tournaments in 2007, Lera made an impressive leap in rankings to #69 in Under 18 ITF rankings after thees victories in Lima.

Lera finally received her P-1 US visa and had the thrill of going to Nassau Bahamas to pick up her documents. While there, Lera was a guest at the famous Atlantis resort and had a real blast.

Now, back home working hard with Tarik, she's preparing for the next journey to South America, with the first stop in Uruguay, playing the Gerdau Cup.
