The courts were dry, there were even signs of sunglasses, t-shirts and shorts amongst the crowd, but would the first semi-final between Simona Halep and Flavia Pennetta shine?

It's interesting to realize that Serena Williams can't add any points here -- her results are so strong that a mere Premier title doesn't count for her! She drops Jelena Jankovic to #8 -- meaning that Simona Halep, despite her injury, will be hitting a new high of #7.
Third Paula Ormaechea of Argentina made a winning start at the new event as she defeated American Nicole Gibbs 6-2, 6-1. But Italy's Nastassja Burnett upset sixth seed Maria Teresa Torro of Spain 7-5, 6-4 at the relatively weak event on a week in which many top women prefer playing in Dubai halfway around the world.
Lucie Safarova produced 31 winners and broke serve five times in a defeat of former Australian open semi-finalist Sloane Stephens 6-3, 7-5, the second first-round loss in as many week for the American.
