Eleven years after turning professional, Pistolesi put in her best ever year on tour last season at the age of 26.
And the Israeli, formerly Anna Smashnova, celebrated an excellent season by marrying her coach Claudio Pistolesi.
She began 2002 by winning two tournaments in a row in Auckland and Canberra, and later in the year confirmed her love of clay with a semi-final appearance at the German Open, including wins over Kim Clijsters and Daniela Hantuchova.
Pistolesi then picked up two more titles before competing at the end of season championships for the first time in her career.
