On Wednesday (November 11, 2009) the remaining first round matches were staged at "Holcim/ITF Women's Circuit 1" which was held at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, Manila, Philippines. The only shock was the exit of sixth seed He Chun-Yan from China as she bowed out to her compatriot and qualifier Zhang Nan-Nan 6-7(4), 1-6. It was only second victory of opening round in 10K main draw after Qianshan last June for 17 years old Zhang.
Two local wild cards, Riza Zalameda and veteran Maricris Fernandez-Gentz had different outcome in the opening round. Zalameda bowed out to South Korean fourth seed Yoo Mi 3-6, 1-6, while Fernandez-Gentz won her comeback outing with an easy 6-1, 6-2 victory over qualifier Yoko Naito of Japan. Fernandez-Gentz was the inaugural winner of this tourney in 1998.
30 years old Fernandez-Gentz, who last played in the country in 2002 just came out of her retirement. The women’s singles champion in the 1999 Brunei Southeast Asian (SEA) Games and she is entered in the 2009 SEA Games in Laos together with Zalameda.
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.
In doubles, top seed pair Beatrice Gumulya/Han Sung-Hee (Indonesia/South Korea) eased past duet He Sirui/Trang Huynh Phuong Dai (China/Vietnam) 6-2, 6-0 in quarterfinal yesterday (November 11, 2009).
