RESULTS
Singles - First Round
Valeria Savinykh (RUS) d. (6) Mathilde Johansson (FRA) 76(2) 35 75
Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino (ESP) d. (8) Patricia Mayr-Achleitner (AUT) 61 36 76(3)
Petra Rampre (SLO) d. (WC) Karen Castiblanco (COL) 63 64
Mariana Duque-Mariño (COL) d. Tetiana Luzhanska (USA) 36 64 75

Today was a day of choking in Bogota apparently:

• Johansson was up 5-2 40-15 in the third set against Savinykh; she was also the defending finalist here.
• Mayr-Achleitner was up 5-1 in the third set against Arruabarrena-Vecino.
• Luzhanska was serving up 2 breaks at 4-1 in the third set against Duque-Marino

Also worth noting that this was Rampre's first WTA level win since 2000. She has yet to beat somebody in a main draw that was ranked inside the top 400.

highest ranked Quarterfinalist....#118, Alexandra Panova. Almost hard to believe this is a WTA International Level event.

highest ranked Quarterfinalist....#118, Alexandra Panova. Almost hard to believe this is a WTA International Level event.

Duque-Marino won the Bogota event in 2010. But a cursory scan of the WTA website says that's the only title above the ITF level won by any of the remaining players in the draw (Knapp was a finalist at Antwerp in 2008). Several don't have photos, and after a search of the website provides a link to Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino's profile, I got an error message that that page no longer exists every time I tried to click on it.

What happened to Errani?

[tigoCeree]

What happened to Errani?

I read that she is taking the week off to recover from her minor knee injury she sustained in Fed Cup but she said she plans on being in Monterrey.

[PyncGyncliacy]

If they stay local, the WCs are pretty much guaranteed to be Catalina Castano, Mariana Duque Marino, Yuliana Lizarazo, and Karen Castiblanco.

[Qutlsilh]

How about this - if your WTA tournament can't atract at least 4 top 50 players two years in a row then you are automatically downgraded to the challenger circuit...

[illerlytoindy]

I read that she is taking the week off to recover from her minor knee injury she sustained in Fed Cup but she said she plans on being in Monterrey.

Three injured and counting...

I just may stop paying attention to ATW because it's just getting to be too much.

[JulieSmithdccd]

What happened to Errani?

She heard she was picked in Around The World a lot

I was planning to use trade 1 to add her...so at least she was kind enough to withdraw before deadline.
