The 2nd round was completed on Thursday and the top seeds continued to advance. Unfortunately, this meant losing Venus Williams on the way
(Rank/Seed)
2/2 A. Radwanska survived Suarez Navarro 46 63 60, coming from 46 1-3 and a point for 1-4 down to win 11 straight games and win 11 straight games to advance beyond the 2nd round for the 1st time since 2008
4/4 S. Williams wasn't happy with her performance but won her match against Martinez Sanchez 62 64
6/6 Kerber edged V. Williams 62 57 75! Kerber served for the match at 62 54, but Venus came back to lead 4-2 in the 3rd set. However, a reactive forehand volley winner at 30-30 for Kerber down 2-4 changed the momentum and Kerber's solid game was too much for the former 2 time champion; 60 unforced errors heavily contributing to Venus' loss. This is the 3rd win Kerber has had over Venus on a 3rd different surface!
10/10 Errani crushed Dushevina 60 61
12/14 Kirilenko beat Arn 63 62
13/12 Ivanovic beat Arvidsson 62 62
14/13 Cibulkova edged Jovanovski 76(3) 76(3)
19/20 Vinci beat Shvedova 36 75 75, saving 2 match points whilst recovering from 3-5 down in the 3rd set! Sorry for not mentioning her in the previous blog!
