Osaka

Singles – First Round: (2) Zheng Jie def. Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 4-6 7-5 6-4

This would seem to guarantee that Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez will end the year below the Top Hundred — and end up in Australian Open qualifying. Probably unseeded, in fact.

Singles – First Round: (Q) Olga Puchkova def. (4/WC) Francesca Schiavone 6-4 2-1 retired (Right Wrist Injury)

This appears to be enough to put Olga Puchkova back in the Top Hundred — but Francesca Schiavone is going to remain below the Top Thirty. And she has second round points to defend at Moscow, and a semifinal at Brisbane 2012; she will almost certainly be unseeded at the Australian Open.

Singles – First Round: (WC) Tamarine Tanasugarn def. (5) Yaroslava Shvedova 6-3 6-2

One of the best results for Tamarine Tanasugarn this year; we can’t help but wonder if Yaroslava Shvedova was entirely healthy. Still, Shvedova appears to be safe in the Top Thirty.

Singles – First Round: (6) Anabel Medina Garrigues def. Camila Giorgi 3-6 6-2 6-2

This isn’t enough to count for Anabel Medina Garrigues, but one more win would guarantee that she stays Top Forty.

Singles – First Round: (7) Chanelle Scheepers def. Alexa Glatch 6-4 6-1

Chanelle Scheepers still needs one more win to defend her points, and possibly two to assure her Top Sixty spot.

Singles – First Round: (8) Laura Robson def. Eleni Daniilidou 6-4 6-2

This will probably move Laura Robson above #55; two more wins would likely make her Top Fifty.

Singles – First Round: Mirjana Lucic def. (Q) Luksika Kumkhum 4-6 6-3 6-4

One more win would likely put Mirjana Lucic back in the Top Hundred, and would all but assure her direct entry into the Australian Open.

Singles – First Round: Virginie Razzano def. (Q) Nudnida Luangnam 6-3 6-3

Virginie Razzano is down to #170, so this was a welcome victory for her. Even with the victory, though, she remains below #150.

Singles – First Round: (Q) Zhou Yi-Miao def. (WC) Kurumi Nara 7-5 6-4

Zhou Yi-Miao should rise to around #200.

Doubles – First Round: (3) Jurak/Marosi def. Chang/Lertcheewakarn 4-6 6-4 10-7 (Match TB)

Doubles – First Round: (4) Date-Krumm/Watson def. Bouchard/Glatch 6-3 6-2

Doubles – First Round: Fujiwara/Wongteanchai def. Doi/Sawayanagi 6-3 6-4

Linz

Singles – First Round: (5) Julia Goerges def. Daniela Hantuchova 6-4 7-6(7-5)

Daniela Hantuchova remains below #35. An Australian Open seed is looking less and less likely.

Singles – First Round: (Q) Bethanie Mattek-Sands def. (7) Tamira Paszek 6-2 6-4

This is the best singles win for Bethanie Mattek-Sands in a long time. Could the pressure of playing in Austria have gotten to Tamira Paszek? She should remain Top Thirty, but loses her Top 25 chance.

Singles – First Round: Carla Suarez Navarro def. Magdalena Rybarikova 6-3 6-4

Carla Suarez Navarro’s recent hot results have her up to #33. One more win would make her Top Thirty. An Australian Open seed is looking pretty likely.

Singles – First Round: Simona Halep def. (Q) Lesia Tsurenko 3-0 retired (Right Shoulder Injury)

The injury rate around here is getting scary. We’ll come back to that….

Singles – First Round: Romina Oprandi def. Alexandra Cadantu 6-2 6-1

Romina Oprandi needs one more win to defend her points, but this should keep her Top Sixty at least.

Singles – First Round: Petra Martic def. Sorana Cirstea 6-4 6-3

Sorana Cirstea loses a few points, but there is a slight chance she’ll make the Top 25 even so — most of the players around her have been losing points too.

Singles – First Round: (Q) Kirsten Flipkens def. Alize Cornet 6-4 6-3

Alize Cornet loses her Top Forty chance.

Singles – First Round: (Q) Mallory Burdette def. (LL) Ksenia Pervak 6-3 6-4

That’s three Lucky Losers in the draw! Ksenia Pervak replaces Yanina Wickmayer, who loses the chance to rise above #23. Mallory Burdette rises above #150.

Singles – First Round: (LL) Irina-Camelia Begu def. (LL) Catalina Castano 6-0 6-4

Lucky Losers everywhere! But Irina-Camelia Begu’s ranking should have gotten her direct entry, so this is the expected result.

Singles – First Round: (WC) Andrea Petkovic def. Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 7-6(7-3) 6-2

A tiny bit of good news for Andrea Petkovic, obviously. And she has a slot for the points. But she remains around #185.

Doubles – First Round: (1) Groenefeld/Peschke def. Dzehalevich/Kalashnikova 6-2 6-2

Doubles – First Round: Jugic-Salkic/Klemenschits def. Castano/Hrdinova 6-3 6-4
