Lena Sofia Alexandra Arvidsson

Lena Sofia Alexandra Arvidsson (born 1984) is a Swedish tennis player. As of April 27, 2009, she is ranked World No. 120.

Sofia started the year playing three tournaments in Australia, Brisbane, Sydney and Australian Open. Arvidsson lost in the first round in all three of these events. Arvidsson was included in the Swedish Fed Cup team alongside Johanna Larsson, Sandra Roma and Ellen Allgurin. Sofia posted a 2-2 singles win-loss record and a 2-1 win-loss in doubles.


Arvidsson then headed to the USA. Illness was a factor in Arvidsson's lack of results, as she lost in the first round in all three tournaments, Memphis, Indian Wells and Miami. Sofia recorded her first official win of 2009 on the ITF circuit in Torhout, beating Kristina Barrois 6-4 6-3. Arvidsson recorded her second win of the season in Zagreb, though she lost in the second round.


Four back-to-back loses followed, including loses in both the French Open and Wimbledon qualifying. At a $25.000 event in Kristinehamn, Sofia reached the semi finals as the top seed. Sofia and Sandra Roma also made the doubles final. Arvidsson won her 16th career singles title in Saguenay in Canada, and her 11th doubles title at the same event.
