The cutoff for seeding here is around #100, so you can imagine what the qualifying is like! We aren’t even going to try to talk about the qualifying final; we’ll just say that the qualifiers were #1 qualifying seed Paula Ormaechea, #2 Sesil Karatancheva, #4 Yaroslava Shvedova (good to see her win, even if it is in the qualifying of one of the weakest events on the Tour), and #7 Ines Ferrer Suarez.

Singles – First Round: Valeria Savinykh def. (6) Mathilde Johansson 7-6(7-2) 3-6 7-5
Mathilde Johansson was last year’s finalist, so this will cost her dearly — she will fall to around #100.

Singles – First Round: Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino def. (8) Patricia Mayr-Achleitner 6-1 3-6 7-6(7-3)
We always get more than a little worried when Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino wins, because there are so many ways to mis-type her name — but when the weight of carrying all those letters around isn’t bothering her, she seems to be a pretty good player. This isn’t a huge surprise.

Singles – First Round: Mariana Duque-Marino def. Tetiana Luzhanska 3-6 6-4 7-5
Mariana Duque-Marino won her only title here; it is surely one of her favorite tournament sites. So no surprise that she won, even though she is in terrible form these days.

Singles – First Round: Petra Rampre def. (WC) Karen Castiblanco 6-3 6-4
Want to know what this field is like? Petra Rampre is #173 — and she had direct entry….

Doubles – First Round: Castano/Duque-Marino def. (2) Fichman/Sun 6-2 6-4
Fichman/Sun have a combined ranking of #238, and yet they are seeded #2 here. Even the #1 seeds are a combined #159. Seedings probably won’t mean much in this field. The big question is not how the seeds will do; it is how Dulko/Suarez — the potential Argentine Olympic team — perform.

Doubles – First Round: Gallovits-Hall/Knapp def. (3) Luzhanska/Woerle 7-6(12-10) 2-6 10-4 (Match TB)

Doubles – First Round: Dominguez Lino/Oprandi def. Alves/Cohen 6-1 6-0
