WTA (2/23) Whirlpool Abierto Monterrey |

Singles – Second Round: Nina Bratchikova def. (1) Roberta Vinci 7-5 7-5
Nina Bratchikova is off to a good start this year, but this is still hard to believe. Maybe Roberta Vinci noticed that she was going to be #22 no matter what she did here.

Singles – Second Round: (2) Sara Errani def. Alize Cornet 6-2 6-3
Too bad Sara Errani couldn’t lend a few of her games to her doubles partner Vinci…. This is no appreciable help to Errani, but any more wins will count, and with Vinci out, she is the only Top Forty player in the field.

Singles – Second Round: (8) Lourdes Dominguez Lino def. Valeria Savinykh 6-4 6-2
Lourdes Dominguez Lino lost her Top Hundred ranking last week when Bogota 2011 came off. It looks as if this will put her back in, although just barely.

Singles – Second Round: Alexandra Cadantu def. Silvia Soler-Espinosa 7-6(8-6) 6-3
This will take Alexandra Cadantu to right around #100.

Doubles – First Round: Dulko/Suarez (WC) def. (4) Birnerova/A Panova 7-5 6-3
That’s quick improvement: Just one week after starting her comeback, Paola Suarez scores her first win. To be sure, Alexandra Panova has looked pretty tired here.

Doubles – First Round: Husarova/Marosi def. Minella/Vogele 7-6(7-3) 6-7(5-7) 10-8 (Match TB)

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (2) Date-Krumm/Zhang def. Costas-Moreira/Ferrer Suarez 6-3 3-6 10-7 (Match TB)
