Karatantcheva progresses in doubles, falls in singles
In a close second set tiebreak, 15 year old Sesil Karatantcheva showed her lack of matchplay by falling to 4th seeded Dessislava Topolova. The 15 year old has been out since June with an ankle injury. In her first tournament back, however, she said "I am not dissappointed by my showing. I proved I can play with top players, and by next season I should be back in the top 15."
Karatantcheva, who reached her peak of 15th in the world last June, has progressed in her impressive doubles partnership with newcomer Sarah Borwell. "Sarah and I did well to defeat Alves and Tiene. The first set was close, but Sarah's forehand sealed a break. Once we found a way to nudge in, we shattered their serve. The second set is a testament to our strength as a doubles pairing."
Karatantcheva is next scheduled to play in Prague, both singles and doubles, next week.

Na Li needs to quit singles and play doubles only. She only has success there!
