Anso lost 6-3 2-1 ret.

[T_P]

Ugh, she's so unlucky. Let's hope it's not her wrist this time.

Yanina lost.. I expected it even after the first set but she needs to do something to her serve Each first time she got broken in last 2 sets were on a DF in a close game
10 DFs This made her loss completely

So I hope that's the only reason, and she stops playing $10k's afterwards.

Exactly. Her only option is a $10k or nothing.

Sam Stosur wrote a great article about how expensive the tour is and she slepped at a train station. Travelling on tour is very expensive.

Yanina Why didn't she play in Hobart
Now, she's back out of the top 20

[Tully]

That's a bad loss for Yanina. Kirsten beat Voskoboeva last week.

Well that's not how tennis works since Yanina beat Kirsten last week.

[Dorien.]

Some news about Anso? I'm so worried.

Nice win for Kirsten

Kirsten is number 51 in this week's rankings (after Auckland) but she will enter the top 50 in next week ranks. She's currently projected at number 48. Unless of course some girls behind her get really good results and still leap over her. A win in the second round would almost definitely seal it for Kirsten.
