> U. S. Open

>

> Singles – Second Round: (1) Victoria Azarenka def. (Q)

> Kirsten Flipkens 6-2 6-2

> This doesn’t actually make any difference in Victoria

> Azarenka’s quest to stay #1 — it’s not enough points to

> matter. But it’s perhaps sending a message….

>

> Singles – Second Round: (3) Maria Sharapova def. Lourdes

> Dominguez Lino 6-0 6-1

> Evidently Maria Sharapova wants to save her energy for the

> matches that matter — this isn’t enough points to make any

> difference to her.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (5) Petra Kvitova def. Alize Cornet

> 6-4 6-3

> Six straight wins for Petra Kvitova. Alize Cornet loses a

> few points, but she appears likely to stay Top Fifty.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (7) Samantha Stosur def. (Q) Edina

> Gallovits-Hall 6-3 6-0

> The loss by Caroline Wozniacki just about guarantees that

> Samantha Stosur will stay Top Ten after the Open — but she

> is still struggling to get above #9. Or, in this case, not

> struggling at all.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (9) Li Na def. Casey Dellacqua 6-4

> 6-4

> Another step toward earning the #7 ranking for Li Na. Given

> that the closest player behind her is Sara Errani, and that

> Li has more than a 500 point lead in that contest, Li’s odds

> really do look good.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (11) Marion Bartoli def. Romina

> Oprandi 6-2 1-6 7-5

> That’s it. Marion Bartoli with this win moves past Caroline

> Wozniacki, meaning that Wozniacki is out of the Top Ten.

> Bartoli hasn’t clinched the #10 ranking, but it seems

> likely.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (15) Lucie Safarova def. Aleksandra

> Wozniak 6-3 4-6 6-2

> That appears to end Aleksandra Wozniak’s Top Forty hopes.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (WC) Kristina Mladenovic def. (17)

> Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1 6-2

> Just when it seemed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was finally

> getting back on track, this happens…. Pavlyuchenkova, who

> was defending quarterfinalist points, will fall out of the

> Top 25; she will probably be #26 or #27.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (19) Nadia Petrova def. Simona Halep

> 6-1 6-1

> Simona Halep defends her points, meaning that there is just

> a chance that she will hit the Top Fifty. It will be close.

> Nadia Petrova has also defended her points; she has a pretty

> good chance of hitting the Top Twenty.

>

> Singles – Second Round: Laura Robson def. (23) Kim Clijsters

> 7-6(7-4) 7-6(7-5)

> Kim Clijsters frankly looked like a player playing her last

> event. Up 5-2 in the first set, she let things slip. And

> Laura Robson, with her post-Olympic confidence, kept up the

> pressure. Robson struggled to start the second, but again

> came back.

> We aren’t actually ready to say farewell to Clijsters, who

> is playing both women’s doubles and mixed. But Clijsters

> loses the chance to guarantee that she will end her career

> in the Top Twenty. Right now she is at #20. But that may not

> hold up.

>

> Singles – Second Round: Pauline Parmentier def. (25) Yanina

> Wickmayer 7-6(7-5) 6-3

> It’s not a big surprise that Yanina Wickmayer lost, but it’s

> pretty mind-blowing that she lost to Pauline Parmentier.

> Wickmayer will probably be just below the Top 25.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (28) Zheng Jie def. (Q) Magdalena

> Rybarikova 6-3 6-1

> This guarantees a spot in the Top 25 for Zheng Jie.

> Magdalena Rybarikova will be around #55.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (31) Varvara Lepchenko def. (Q)

> Anastasia Rodionova 6-2 6-2

> Varvara Lepchenko is up above #25, and it’s just possible

> that one more win would make her Top Twenty.

>

> Singles – Second Round: Anna Tatishvili def. Sorana Cirstea

> 6-7(5-7) 6-1 6-2

> There will be no Top Thirty spot for Sorana Cirstea after

> all. Anna Tatishvili will rise above #60.

>

> Singles – Second Round: Mandy Minella def. (Q) Kristyna

> Pliskova 6-4 6-4

> This will take Mandy Minella above #70.

>

> Singles – Second Round: (WC) Mallory Burdette def. Lucie

> Hradecka 6-2 6-4

> The news stories have been full of the fact that Mallory

> Burdette can’t collect her money for this, because she’s

> still an amateur. But it’s worth noting that this win still

> takes her only to about #160. She may be better sticking

> with that college scholarship for now.

>

> Doubles – First Round: (2) Errani/Vinci def. Lepchenko/S

> Zheng 6-4 7-5

> The first small step toward the #1 ranking for Errani/Vinci.

>

> 1..(1) HUBER …………. 7955*

> 1..(1) RAYMOND ……….. 7955*

> 3..(3) ERRANI ………….7870*

> 9.(12) VESNINA ……….. 4890*

> 10.(11) KIRILENKO ……… 4675*

>

> Doubles – First Round: (3) Hlavackova/Hradecka def.

> Czink/Szavay 6-2 6-4

> A better outcome for Agnes Szavay than the singles, where

> she had to retire — but not by much.

>

> Doubles – First Round: (5) King/Shvedova def. Hercog/Klepac

> 6-0 6-1

> King/Shvedova obviously looked pretty good here, but they

> remain below the Top Ten.

>

> Doubles – First Round: (9) Kops-Jones/Spears def.

> Cibulkova/Hantuchova 4-6 6-1 6-2

> Daniela Hantuchova was a semifinalist last year, so she will

> be tumbling from #34 to around #70.

>

> Doubles – First Round: (10) Benesova/Zahlavova Strycova def.

> Bertens/Rus 6-3 6-3

>

> Doubles – First Round: Jurak/Marosi def.

> K.Bondarenko/Pironkova 6-2 3-6 6-4

>

> Doubles – First Round: Soler-Espinosa/Suarez Navarro def.

> (WC) Min/Oudin 6-1 6-4

>

>

> Doubles – First Round: (WC) Falconi/Sanchez def.

> Cadantu/Johansson 6-2 6-3

>

> Doubles – First Round: (WC) Keys/Pegula def.

> Amanmuradova/Niculescu 6-2 6-2

>

> Doubles – First Round: Kerber/Paszek def. Begu/Cornet 0-6

> 6-4 6-3

>

> Doubles – First Round: (WC) Williams/Williams def.

> Lee-Waters/Moulton-Levy 6-4 6-0

> The Williams Sisters were supposed to play Burdette/Gibbs in

> the first round. Obviously the substitution didn’t bother

> them. Despite being unseeded, it feels as if they will be a

> factor here.

>

> Mixed Doubles – First Round: (4) Peschke/Matkowski def.

> Hsieh/Qureshi 6-4 6-4

> This is interesting because Mixed rankings would have put

> these teams dead level in rankings, just below the seeded

> range — but our tiebreak based on the woman’s ranking would

> have put Peschke/Matkowski just ahead. And so it proved.

>

> Mixed Doubles – First Round: Mirza/Fleming def.

> Petkovic/Butorac 6-2 7-6(7-5)

> As you will see in our Mixed Doubles feature, Mirza/Fleming

> would have been seeded under Mixed rankings. So no surprise

> here.
