The tennis players Aleksandra Wozniak and Stephanie Dubois have both suffered the same fate at the Australian Open. In first round action of simple, two Quebecers were eliminated in straight sets Wednesday in Melbourne..
Aleksandra Wozniak, ranked 34th in the world, could not back off against Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki, seeded fourth, who qualified for the second me round by winning 6-4, 6-2.
By his own admission, the Blainville, who pocketed a fifth defeat in six matches against Wozniacki in the last year, has committed too many errors to be able to win. Especially since our games have always been big battles.
For its part, Marie-Eve Pelletier and Julie French Corner advanced to the second round after beating Jarmila pair Austalienne Groth and Olivia Rogowska in two innings by a score of 6 – 3, 7-5. They will be on their way Friday in the second round Lisa Raymond and Rennae Stubbs ranked sixth seeds in the tournament.
In eight previous appearances at Melbourne Park, Kuznetsova reached the quarterfinals twice – including in 2009, then losing it before the eventual champion, Serena Williams. The Russian could become the world number one if she triumphed in the Australian tournament.
In the first round of the big picture, it was initially very difficult for the Flemish 20 years and revelation of 2009 (10-8 against Romania Dulgheru). But on Wednesday it was brilliant against Pennetta (7-6, 6-1) already beaten in the final in Auckland ten days ago.
