(Because of having 19 players, only 3 Round of 32 matches will be played. Until we get higher numbers or an even number, this will have to stay this way. Results in this tournament do not go towards rankings, but they will allow me to see who will get Bye's in next weeks tournament.)

Round of 32
Burswood Dome Centre Court
Match 1
Na Li defeated Ashley Harkleroad
6-0, 6-4
-The match started easily for Na Li, but Harkleroad fought back in the 2nd set, however it wasn't enough and Na Li prevails and is into the Final 16.-
Match 2
Alicia Molik defeated Jennifer Capriati
Walkover
-Capriati never showed up, that is why Molik heads to the Round of 16 without hitting a ball.-
Match 3
Daniela Hantuchova defeated Ana Ivanovic
0-6, 6-0, 7-6(4)
-It was the first 3 set match in WWTT history and Daniela Hantuchova came out the winner after a very slow start. It was an odd match with each trading 6-0 sets before going the distance in the third with Hantuchova just slightly playing better in the tie break.

Highlandman Jul 11th, 2006, 08:24 PM Venus Williams arrives at Perth
http://www.tennisteacher.com/williams,%20venus%20white%20suit.jpg
Venus Williams from USA arrived to the Hompan Cup in Perth. In the first round she had an "Bye" and now she will play against Nicole Vaidisova, what can Venus tall us about Nicole and other things? "Yeah, Nicole is a very good player, it's a very hard test for me against her. She has also very powerful shots and so I think I must play my best tennis against her. Okay, it's only an exhibiton, but it is good to see where I'm standing. I practised a lot in the last time for improving my game, so I think I will have good chances for playing very well here and for the rest of the season."

Highlandman Jul 12th, 2006, 08:02 PM Venus Williams happy after her win over Nicole Vaidisova
http://images.askmen.com/imagesmodel/2003_jan/venus_williams/venue_williams_150.jpg
"Wow, what a match. In the second set I left her no chance and I was surprised that I played so well. In the first set it was closed, we both played there very good tennis, but then I played better and better. In the second I made no unforced errors and had a great servie. I'm very happy about this start. Now I'm playing against Na Li from China, I never played against her and I don't how is her game etc. However she's also in QF, so I think she is a very good player and I must try my best".

Match 2
Daniela Hantuchova defeated Venus Williams
0-6, 6-4, 6-2
-Not a good day for the Williams sisters as they both lose in three sets. Hantuchova should be happy with the way she played and is into the Finals.-

Hantuchova Shines In Perth
Daniela Hantuchova was one of six players who had to play a third round match,who would have thought that she would make her way through the field having spent hours longer on court than most players.In the Hopman Cup final Hantuchova Faced Jamea Jackson of the United States.The match was very topsy-turvy that saw Hantuchova hold her nerves better as she closed out the match with an ace down the T to win 0-6,6-0,7-6(7-2) in just under two hours.
"You know of course i'm very happy to have won the first tournament on tour,it means a lot to me and hopefully this is a sign for things to come.I go to Canberra next week and hopefully my game will still be on,and i'm very excited."
Hantuchova will be seeded number 1 at the tournament,and should have a bye first round pending the number of entrants.
Highlandman Jul 15th, 2006, 11:34 PM Congrats Daniela.
So Venus can: I lost to the winner ;)
Cage Jul 16th, 2006, 02:43 AM Congrats :D
