(1)Alexandra Panova (RUS) v Monica Puig (PUR)
Irina Khromacheva (RUS) v Q
Petra Rampre (SLO) v Sandra Zaniewska (POL)
(6)Claire Feuerstein (FRA) v Olga Savchuk (UKR)

Panova or Puig will be really tough for a completely out of form Irina. Well, that's if Irina will get past the qualifier. If she miraculously make it through the first 2 rounds, the QF should be easier.

At least one win, please...

[Dan_Doe]

Irina lost to Puig in the second round of that French 50K, a bit unexpected, but Puig turned out to be on a really good form.

Irina upset Bibiane in a match that went over two hours, winning 36 75 64 (with 15 DFs!) Now 2-0 against Bibiane.

Begu up next. She can only try her best.

[Dan_Doe]

Good Unfortunately Begu is too consistent for Irina.

[Ollie_R]

Won the first set against Irina, 6-3!

[Tennis Fool]

... and up a break in the second!

[Dan_Doe]

It looks like Begu withdrew

[Ollie_R]

^ Yes, retired after 3-1 in the second set.

Irina K playes Garbi next.

[Tennis Fool]

Now I feel bad that Begu was injured or something.

[Ollie_R]

^ She was probably just tired after last week's matches in Linz...well I hope that's all it was anyway.

[Tennis Fool]

Irina was overpowered by Garbine Muguruza, and fell 3 & 1.

[Dan_Doe]

At least she defeated Begu and that's a good sign, but how many points did she gain by that win? I guess 4
