Magdalena Rybarikova bagels Li Na to win in Birmingham

Li Na might look tough with that tattoo but it wasn't helping anyway.

In fact she let Magdalena Rybarikova bageled her in the first set before going down 0-6, 6-7 (2-7) at the Aegon Classic.

This is Rybarikova's first WTA Tour singles title. She earned a first prize of $37,000 and a trophy that almost look like an Aladdin lamp.

To tell you the truth, I'm not really good in remembering women's players especially those with long names and fresh faces like Rybarikova.

So I made an effort to look for her info and to my amazement I found some pretty memorable photoshoot of her.

Sharapova will now spend next week practising at Wimbledon SW19 as she continues to rebuild her career following a serious shoulder injury.

"After such a long layoff, every match and every situation is a different test to the body," said Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion.

"I still felt like I had many chances in this match, but I have played five matches in the last six days and after that you just hope you wake up with that intensity you need. Against her you need that."

Li will play Magdalena Rybarikova at the final after defeated Sania Mirza 3-6, 6-0, 6-3.
