Last year was a great 12 months for the 20-year-old Latvian, who won her first title and beat several top 10 players as well.
 
She triumphed at Estoril in Portugal with a first round win over the top seed Agnes Szavay and then beating Arantxa Parra Santonja in the final.
 
There was a semifinal appearance at Monterrey after she beat world No9 Jelena Jankovic in the first round of the tournament. Four times she was a quarterfinalist in WTA events, including the US$4.5million Beijing event where Sevastova accounted for Sam Stosur and Nadia Petrova before falling to Li Na. The other quarterfinals were at Strasbourg, Budapest and Bad Gasten.
