Number one seed Kurumi Nara leads the pack of six more local players in booking tickets for quarterfinals at "Tokyu Harvest Cup Hamanako ITF Womens Circuit" in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka-ken, Japan on Thursday, October 1, 2009. In round 16, 17 years old Nara had to play three sets as she went down in the opening set. Eventually Nara stormed back to beat compatriot Akiko Yonemura 2-6, 6-3, 6-0.
Meanwhile local second seed Tomoko Yonemura had an easy outing when she breezed past her compatriot Seiko Okamoto 6-2, 6-2. Followed by local fourth seed Misaki Doi who ousted her compatriot Ayaka Maekawa 6-4, 6-3. Different outcome was the story for three seeds as they bundled out and failed to reach the last eight round. First, Thai third seed Suchanun Viratprasert was shocked by local Natsumi Hamamura 3-6, 6-2, 1-6. Another upset was made by local qualifier Sachie Ishizu as she cruised past sixth seed Hwang I-Hsuan from Chinese Taipei 5-7, 3-6. Also exiting was South Korean eighth seed Lee Jin-A who contested in the battle against Hsu Wen-Hsin of Chinese Taipei in a tight duel but Hsu was a better player to clinch 7-5, 4-6, 7-6(4) victory.
In doubles' quarterfinals, only top seed and second seed pairs advanced into the last four round, while third and fourth seeded duets stumbled. Top seed duo Carly Gullickson/Nicole Kriz (USA/Australia) eased past local duet Kurumi Nara/Erika Sema 6-2, 6-0. Then second seed pair Yayuk Basuki/Hwang I-Hsuan (Indonesia/Chinese Taipei) moved into their back to back semi-final after they battled past local pair Airi Hagimoto/Maiko Inoue 7-5, 6-3.
