We talked in our preview about how weak the qualifying draw is here. So perhaps it’s not surprise that three of the top four seeds made the main draw: #1 Chan Kai-Chen, #3 Hsieh Su-Wei, and #4 Varatchaya Wongteanchai all won in straight sets. But our fourth qualifier was unseeded even in this weak draw: Zhou Yi-Miao upset #6 Sacha Jones 6-2 in the third.
Interesting to note that all our qualifiers are from the Pacific Rim.
Singles – First Round: (7) Sorana Cirstea def. Erika Sema 6-2 6-2
No points yet for Sorana Cirstea, but two more wins would put her on the verge of the Top Fifty.
Singles – First Round: Anastasia Rodionova def. Iryna Bremond 6-4 6-0
This won’t help Anastasia Rodionova much, but it pretty well guarantees that she will stay Top Hundred.
Doubles – First Round: Akita/Rottmann def. Hsu/Webley-Smith 3-6 6-2 11-9 (Match TB)
The doubles field here is incredibly weak. These two teams both have combined rankings below #400 — but both have direct entry!
