Tananta, Damayanti earn victory, while Rompies crashes out

From the third leg of Thai Women's Circuit with total prize money of US $ 10,000 in Hatyai, Songkhla, Thailand which started on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 three Indonesians from Big Mama's camp - numero uno Lavinia Tananta, Ayu Fani Damayanti dan Jessy Rompies began their campaign.

Coming-off from a break, third seed Tananta had an easy outing as she booted out local wild card Nattawadee Kotcha 6-0, 6-0 in the opening round. Also returning to the tour after several weeks off, Damayanti posted an easy victory over South Korean Han Sung-Hee 6-1, 6-0.

Meanwhile Rompies who has been playing her third week of 10K here, bowed out to Russian qualifier Natela Dzalamidze 3-6, 3-6 in the opening round. In the first leg, Rompies grabbed her 10K maiden title in Nonthaburi then last week she finished in second round or round 16 in Pattaya.

The biggest shock was capitalized by 15 years old South Korean qualifier Lee So-Ra as she ousted Japanese top seed Shiho Akita 6-2, 4-6, 6-0.
