Qualyfing Head to Head

Haynes vs Widjaja : 0-0
- Welcome to the LRWTT Jenifer

[Catriel]

Tough First Round For Diana! Good Luck To Anna!

Srebrovic, you are 2-2 with Yan, one of the bests!
And you have won some singles tournaments, I still don´t understand how you are not in the top ten after 20 tournaments, but LRWTT is very competitive!

Anyway Garcia, Piedade and Baltacha are retired, so you can pass them soon, they´ll start to defend points next month (this is great for all the new players)

You have to be patiente and you´ll get your recompense. Golovin, Lamade, Kirilenko, they have survived pathetic rows of consecutive first rounds... Meusburger and Keothavong were defeated when they needed a win to be N°1.... Mignola and Boogert entered the top ten and fall down, to enter definetly weeks later...
You have to be patiente!!
Kirilenko was the 5° player to join the game (out of 59) and she won her first tournament only two weeks ago!
Be patiente and you´ll be rewarded anytime

First Round Review



Orbetello is one of the most important tournaments in the year! First round is completed and some surprises happened here.

Qualy
Two young players were forced to qualify to enter the main event. Widjaja made her debut facing Haynes, who played on carpet last week but never on clay. Jenifer won because Haynes did not arrived in time to the match.

Top Half

Not many surprises here, 3 seededs survive and the other one was defeated by a player who´s in her best moment.

- Keothavong defeated Adamczak, Anne has consolidated as the N°1 player and this $75K is the best chance for definetly end the first LRWTT year at the top, Monique was suffering by press articles saying her retire was close.
- Kirilenko and Panova are in a great moment, but the first set tie break decided the match. Maria is still celebrating her first title 10 days ago and Panova was not distracted.
- Paterson defeated O´Donoghue 7-5 7-5, very close too. Jane is focused in her doubles career with Hopkins and Paterson is coming back to the top after she decided to keep playing.
- Srebrovic is facing the Top Ten and Yan was surprised in 3 sets by her, the only seeded who lost but they are almost the same quality players.

- Gullickson keeps rising and her victim was Hopkins, who was thinking in her doubles match with O´Donoghue, one of the most improving teams at the moment.
- Zaric did not have a chance against Kutuzova who has more experience and only needed two sets to enter in Round of 16. Zaric is one of the rising new stars and she´ll have a chance in Algeria today.
- Dandeniya is in her best moment, she is coming from a final last week, in the other side Sromova was unlucky, she had a great strategy but Dandeniya was smart in the decisive points.
- Muller hates clay and Topalova loves it,. the result is that Dessislava won and she knows she have a change to get the N°1 these days. Beware with this player!!

[Catriel]

First Round Review
Bottom Half


Some surprises here, only one seeded alive and victories from players who are not very used to.

- Vinci is the only seeded who survive, she needed two sets to defeat Amber Liu, but somehow it is surprising because Vinci is not playing like at the beggining of the year.
- Doyle make the first big surprise defeating Kleybanova, the former Top Ten does not win since..... time ago. But Kleybanova was favorite, she is rising very fast in the ranking.
- Sfar also surprised defeating Widjaja. It is not easy to play with a qualifier, and Selima´s play really sucks these months. But she managed to improve a double 6-4 to keep alive in Orbetello.
- Boogert is one of the seededs who had a bad day! Peer has discovered herself as a grea clay player and Kristie did not have a chance against her.

- Mignola lost in first round on clay? This is a major surprise, but she was defeated by Ana Tchakvetadze, one of the few players (maybe the onlyone) who is leading the Head to Head against Mignola.
- Why Rossana de Los Rios was not seeded? And why did she lost? Misteries of tennis! Ferguson won her second match in her career after almost 10 tournaments. Another surprise.
- Bianka, the favorite of the people, she played a long match vs Lucic-Capra and at the end was too tired to close the match! She´ll also will have revenge today in Algeria. Mirjana was interrogated about her second last name and she did not answer the question. Maybe the coach last name?
- Yvonne, our big champion, she missed again a chance chase Keothavong. Mandy Minella was fast and quick and surprised her 6-3 in the last set. Now Meusburger is favorite to win in Algeria.
