Top seed Lavinia Tananta and second seed Jessy Rompies will battle in final at the newest tourney with total prize money of US $ 10,000 in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia after they edged past their opponents in today's semi-finals (November 7, 2009). Top seed Tananta cruised past her senior and fourth seed Romana Tedjakusuma 6-2, 7-5. Tananta will clash with second seed Jessy Rompies who edged past South Korean seventh seed Kang Seo-Kyung 6-4, 6-3. Whoever will win in final, Indonesia is secured to have clean sweep. It will be Tananta's 7th final appearance in 10K and she will strive for her fourth title of 10K after Jakarta 2006, Manila 2008 and Solo 2009. As for Rompies, she will play her first ever 10K final here since her best outcome was being 10K's semi-finalist twice so far. Rompies's defeat in these two semi-finals were both beaten by Ayu Fani Damayanti at Manila 2008 and Jakarta 2009.

In doubles' final, top seed pair Tananta/Tedjakusuma returned to action today and they were triumphant after ousting South Korean fourth seed duet Han Sung-Hee/Kang Seo-Kyung 6-2, 7-5. It was the first title for Tananta and Tedjakusuma as a pair since they had partnership for the first time here.
