Italian Karin Knapp enjoyed her best tournament ever as she reached her first WTA final in Antwerp. And she did in a Tier II which included names such as Justine Henin, Anna Chakvetadze or Daniela Hantuchova. As WTA #47, Knapp was unseeded and had to fight to overcome French Nathalie Dechy and Russian Yaroslava Shvedova in the early rounds. But the best was still to come for Knapp, as in the quarters and semis she upsetted 4th seed Patty Schnyder and 9th seed Na Li respectively to book her place in the final. Only world's number 1, Justine Henin, was able to beat her.
