Sugiyama d. Razzano

1-6 6-3 6-3

Obata d. Mikaelien

7-5 6-4

Asagoe d. Garbin

6-2 3-6 6-2

Well done! Both Sugiyama and Asagoe have huge chances to advance to the Quarterfinals, while you never know what Obata could do to Henin-Hardenne! What do you all think?

Whoops! I almost forgot Tammy Tanasugarn! She also has a chance to advance to the Quarters!

It's fantastic!
Too bad that Saori has to face Juju

 

[Whatzup]

Great! I think Sugiyama and Asagoe have great chances. Too bad for Saori that she has to face Juju! But it's already a great performance for them!

 

[Martian KC]

Fantastic!! 3 Japanese women into the 3rd round!

 

[RIPwtaworld]

All three of these Japanese players have really been having great years! Keep it up!

Seems like the US Open is following the same suit as Wimbledon!

 

[auntie janie]

Well done, ladies! Bring back the Date days of glory to your homeland!

And Tammy, well, that's great too.

 

[Ray of Sunshine]

I'm really surprised with the success the Japanese girls are having. They usually do nothing on the high-bouncing courts.

this ain't the US Open, not the Russia Open, its the Japanese...and Asia Open

I said when Ai had that famous 4 for 4 day this year (Scottsdale, I think) that womens tennis in Japan could become like womens golf in South Korea (whose large LPGA contingent essentially created that Seoul Sisters thing, sorry Cho)! So perhaps they could be called the Banzai Babes?
