Unseeded Lavinia Tananta secured a good start at "Northern Territory Women's Tennis International 1" with total prize money of US $ 25,000 in Darwin, Australia. In her opening round yesterday (September 15, 2009), Tananta showed her fighting attitude and prevailed to beat fifth seed Chiaki Okadaue from Japan 6-1, 5-7, 7-5 in the first round.
Meanwhile her compatriot Jessy Rompies, despite imposing strong challenge, she eventually lost to local wild card and just came back to the tour, Bojana Bobuscic 4-6, 7-6(9), 2-6 in the opening round. 21 years old Bobuscic had her last tourney at Phuket 25K, Thailand in late May 2005.
The remaining three singles' matches also completed yesterday. Aussie second seed Shannon Golds edged past local wild card Sophie Letcher 6-0, 7-5. Followed by two more compatriots, Isabella Holland who eased past German Sarah-Rebecca Sekulic 6-0 6-3 then Monika Wejnert came back from a set down to defeat American Jennifer Elie 0-6, 6-4, 6-4.
A kind of expected surprise came from local duo Nicole Kriz/Alicia Molik as they breezed past local top seed pair Shannon Golds/Emelyn Starr 6-3, 6-1.
