August 28, 2008

From women's circuit tournament in Nonthaburi, Thailand with total prize money of US $ 10.000, 8th seed Lavinia Tananta sent home immediately after she lost in quarter-final. In 2nd round, Tananta cruised past a qualifier, Yang Zi Jun of Hong Kong which lasted in 2 days. Yesterday afternoon, the two players put an intense battle and Yang took 6-3 in the opening set. Since both Tananta and Yang had similar game, therefore long rallies were involved indeed. Tananta was tougher in critical points and closed it out 6-4. In the final set, Tananta became more confident and she led comfortably 3-1 then the match was delayed due to rain.

This morning both players resumed their final set and Tananta played better than Yang to secure game, set and match, 6-1. Tananta had no choice to play her quarter-final less than an hour later. With Khonkhan's winner, Lu Jia Jing of China (WTA 614) was in the opposite side of the net, Tananta tried to hang tough during the match. Nevertheless, 19 years old Lu played more agressive and in the end she won 6-3, 7-6(3) over Tananta.
