Daily Women Update – Stuttgart, Fes, Rankings

Written by: Staff on 28th April 2012

Stuttgart

Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) Victoria Azarenka def. (WC) Mona Barthel 6-4 6-7(3-7) 7-5

So close for Mona Barthel, who kept Victoria Azarenka out there for almost three hours. Against the Azarenka of a year ago, she might well have won — but, as it is, she will have to settle for #31.

Singles – Quarterfinal: (2) Maria Sharapova def (5) Samantha Stosur 6-7(5-7) 7-6(7-5) 7-5

This match actually made it past the three hour mark; it was an incredibly long day in Stuttgart. And, after all that, it made no rankings difference!

Singles – Quarterfinal: (3) Petra Kvitova def. Angelique Kerber 6-4 6-4

This was the day’s only straight-sets match — potentially a good sign for Petra Kvitova. It makes no rankings difference; Kvitova stays #3. And Angelique Kerber stays #14, and the #3 German. On the other hand, the two Germans above her, Petkovic and Lisicki, are both missing a lot of events….

Singles – Quarterfinal: (4) Agnieszka Radwanska def. (8) Li Na 3-6 6-2 6-3

As we learned earlier this week, it has become very tough to upset Agnieszka Radwanska. She leave Li Na still stuck at #8; Marion Bartoli will retain the #7 spot.

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (5) Benesova/Zahlavova Strycova def. Llagostera Vives/Niculescu 1-6 6-4 10-8 (Match TB)

Fes

Singles – Semifinal: (Q) Kiki Bertens def. (5) Simona Halep 6-3 6-4

This just keeps getting more difficult to believe. This is of course the biggest result Kiki Bertens has ever had; she has increased her points by almost 50%, and will rise from #149 to around #105.

Singles – Semifinal: Laura Pous-Tio def. (LL) Mathilde Johansson 6-1 2-6 7-5

The outcome in this case is less of a surprise than just the fact that these two contested it. Laura Pous-Tio has the edge in late round experience, although neither of our two finalists has much; they are both going for a first title. Unfortunately, a big chunk of Pous-Tio’s limited experience came at this time last year, when she made a semifinal. So she makes a relatively slight move — from #110 to right around #100. A title would make her about #85.

Doubles – Semifinal: Begu/Cadantu def. Pliskova/Pliskova 6-4 4-6 10-5 (Match TB)

Doubles – Semifinal: Cetkovska/Panova def. Babos/Minella 6-7(5-7) 6-2 10-6 (Match TB)
