New tennis pro steps up for approaching finals

Oct. 19 - Vania King is casting shadows across the courts of American women's pro tennis. 

The spotlight on the 17-year-old baseliner's game came when she swept the Sony Ericsson Women's Tennis Association singles and doubles titles Oct. 9 at the Bangkok Open. 

She went pro in July. 

"For a couple of days after the win, I was still shocked and in disbelief that I did it," King said. "It was a dream come true for me. Obviously, it does wonders for my confidence." 

King laughed as she described the scene, where fans wore traditional Thai costumes that looked like boats and danced around the courts in celebration.
