:bowdown: Action In Warsaw starts of with a bang here as the Romanians take out the world number 1 in the first match. Great play from Sorana who took apart Yan here. The Chinese could now be in danger of losing their number 1 ranking if their main rivals do well here.

[6] ITA Flavia Pennetta def. USA Ashley Harkleroad 3-6 6-1 6-1

http://www.wtnphotos.com/data/634/2006Estoril.jpg

Good win from Clay Specialist Flavia. She has a good draw and hopefully can take full advantage of it to get back in the shape that saw her get to the Australian Open SF. The Americans arent clay fans but did very well to give a fight but overall, Flavia was too strong.

[7] UKR Julia Vakulenko def. BLR Victoria Azarenka 7-6(3) 6-7(9) 7-6(6)

http://www.wtnphotos.com/data/3126/20070828_20_gyi0000628958.jpg

Great match between these two. Ukraine like the caly and have a bit more experiance which is what is boiled down to. Good gameplans from both teams but Ukraine just escape the suprise.

[Q] NZL Sacha Jones def. [3] CZE Kveta Peschke 7-6(2) 7-6(8)

After a great Fed Cup week with a win over the Aussies, the New Zealanders are playing their first tournament and are playing some great tennis. Sacha pulls through a close match and the CT didnt really affect the match. It was Sachas match all the way today.

Come on Georgia !

GEO Ekaterine Gorgodze def. [4] FRA Mary Peirce 6-1 7-6(10)

Mary misses a good chance here. But full credit to Eka with taking this. Georgia moves on as another seed goes down.

Petrova carries on her new found form into the next round. Russia are know looking very sharp. Congrats. Jelena has a very strange gameplan. It needs to go.

Gigi, i need some Eka pics ;)

China :sobbing: Seeds :help:

Georgia :woohoo:

Patch, shall I give you the Gorgodze pics again? :p

South Africa hand Poland the second ever double bagel on tour in front of their home crowd. Poland will have to regroup after this total beatdown. Now offically the worst performance by seeds at a tournament so far on tour.

Gigi, i need some Eka pics ;)

:lol: I had on the previous page when I posted the above one :p

[2] ESP Lourdes Dominguez Lino def. JPN Rika Fujiwara 6-0 6-0

http://www.fedcup.com/shared/medialibrary/image/gallery/FC_4018_gallery.JPG

The say revenge is sweet and the Spainiards will certainly not disagree. Another Doubles Bagel here the third of the tour and a great match from the Spainiards. Only 3 seeds go through here today and Spain have proboly put themselves as their favourites for the title.

updated draw

The Dreaded Clay For Americans

http://www.wtnphotos.com/data/593/ROG110052812_1024x768.jpg

After claiming their first title in Quebec City last week, the United States were put out first round in Warsaw. It is no secret that the Americans dread the red clay, but after today's 6-3, 1-6, 1-6 loss to Flavia Pennetta it was a little more evident.

"I'm not happy with my play, or the conditions here in Poland. It is freezing cold and the clay is playing exceptionally slow, which does not benefit the Americans playing here. I'm bitter at the loss and the conditions we had to play in, although Flavia did play a fantastic second and third set. She should do well here."

Fujiwara failure

http://www.yonex.co.jp/img/player/tennis/2006/20.jpg
Fujiwara delivered 10 double faults on her way to a 6-0 6-0 defeat

They may not be at home on clay, but the Japanese team handed in their worst performance of their career today, as Rika Fujiwara suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the second seeded Spaniard Lourdes Dominguez Lino 6-0 6-0.

After missing the deadline to play in Forest Hills, the team jetted out to the Polish capital, where they soon found out they would be playing the Spanish team. This was an optimum tie for the Spaniards, who lost in the Auckland final to Japan.

Fujiwara, making her singles debut, started off strongly as she raced into a 40-0 lead on the Dominguez serve. However, it was false hope, as she couldn't deal with the spins coming from the racket of the Spaniard and fell to defeat in less than 40 minutes.

"I don't like the clay. My captain just told me to give it a go and try my best. We weren't very confident, but we just had to go out there and try. We failed. Onto next week," commented a bemused Fujiwara.

USA and JPN :hug::sad: but :worship::yeah:

How many points has RSA? I can't find it.

215 :hug::hug: QF coming soon...

Hope youll get to use the Eka pics :devil:

[6] ITA Flavia Pennetta def. ROM Sorana Cirstea 2-6 6-1 6-4

http://www.wtnphotos.com/data/634/capt_fa7ca2713a604c81ae4d35e33771ebe9_mexico_tenni s_open_moev107.jpg

Flavia eases into the semi finals with a well fought win over Cirstea. She looks to eventually be back in form now. Good match from the Italian.

[Q] NZL Sacha Jones def. [7] UKR Julia Vakulenko 1-6 6-4 6-0

http://images.tvnz.co.nz/tvnz_images/sport/tennis/jones_sacha_d.jpg

The Qualifiers run continues after an eventually comfortable victory. Ukraine arnt doing nothing wrong, maybe a new set of points will help. Another seed falls.

Allez Eka !

Russia are in great from this clay season and nothing is stopping them. They have a clever gameplan and it has worked all the way so far. Georgia were very close and should take the positives away here. Russia move on.

Spain barley survive the shock here to set up a Amelia Island Final Re-Match. Chani played some great tennis but the Spainards have only lost once here on clay. They move on into an intresting semi final line up.

[Q] NZL Sacha Jones def. [6] ITA Flavia Pennetta 7-6(0) 6-4

http://www.itftennis.com/shared/medialibrary/image/gallery/IO_22203_gallery.JPG

Sacha emulates Nadia last week by making the final as a qualifier. She has moved through comfortably round by round and is one to watch in the future. Great stuff from Sacha.

RUS Nadia Petrova def. [2] ESP Lourdes Dominguez Lino 7-6(6) 6-4

http://www.itftennis.com/shared/medialibrary/image/gallery/IO_24056_gallery.JPG

Another amazing match from Nadia. Russia are the most inform team on the tour at the moment in my opinion and they take revenge from a final loss from the Spainiards last week. No seeds in the final and this was the biggest upset of them all. Great play very much deserved.

Congrats Nadia and Sacha! :worship:

:woohoo: Nadia :banana:

another great week :banana: :woohoo:

sorry Lourdes :hug: but it's fair after last week's loss :p

Final is tommorow and you can change points (and write articles) if you like ;)

shutup EDF :ras:

:haha: Well done Nadia!:yeah:

Lourdes :nerner: :p

shutup EDF :ras:
