In second round today (November 12, 2009) Fernandez-Gentz had to end her journey after she lost to South Korean seventh seed Han Sung-Hee 3-6 then retired due to foot injury. An upset was made by Juan Ting-Fei of Chinese Taipei as she cruised past French third seed Elodie Rogge-Dietrich 6-3, 6-1 and reached her first ever quarterfinal in 10K.

Meanwhile two South Koreans second seed Lee Ye-Ra, fourth seed Yoo Mi, then Chinese fifth seed Liu Shaozhuo and Thai eighth seed Nicha Lertpitaksinchai also continued to advance into the last eight round.

Gumulya crashes out in opener again

The only Indonesian player Beatrice Gumulya here at "Holcim/ITF Women's Circuit 1" which is held at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, Manila, Philippines fell in the opening round yesterday (November 10, 2009). In her quest of gaining more ranking points, Gumulya still struggled indeed as she bowed out to Chinese Taipei qualifier Miao Yui-Lynn 4-6, 6-1, 1-6. 17 years old unranked Miao is just playing her fifth tourney of her pro career here in metropolitan Manila. As for Gumulya, she recorded her back to back first round exit after Kuching 10K last week.

Singles main draw had to be revised since the original top seed Çagla Büyükakçay of Turkey withdrew and she replaced by German lucky loser Jessica Sabeshinskaja. On the opening day, total of 8 singles matches were staged, then the remaining 8 were scheduled to be played today.

Second seed Lee Ye-Ra from South Korea secured her opening victory after she outclassed her compatriot Kim Sun-Jung 6-3, 6-3. 22 years old Lee was once ranked as high as WTA 178 (as at September 22, 2008). No doubt, she is the strongest candidate to win this tourney.

In doubles, Gumulya had no choice but to perform well as she partnered with South Korean Han Sung-Hee. Duet Gumulya/Han is top seed and they had an easy opener after they breezed past duo Ashmitha Easwaramurthi/Tanaporn Thongsing (India/Thailand) 6-2, 6-2.

Ravita feels deja vu

15 years old Jakarta resident Nadia Ravita continued her tour to prestigious "Evert American ITF Junior Circuit", an ITF Grade 4 tournament which is held at Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, Florida, USA. Yesterday (November 9, 2009) Ravita started her campaign but she immediately lost to local wild card Jennifer Brady 4-6, 4-6 in round 64 or first round. Last year in her first participation at this tourney, Ravita had to go through qualifying round and she fell instantly in the opening round.

The biggest upset was made by local player Julia Elbaba who ousted top seed Olga Ianchuk of Ukraine 6-4, 6-4 in the opening round yesterday. Followed by fourth seed Michela Casanova from Switzerland who was beaten by American Mary Clayton 2-6, 2-6.
