Top seed got knocked out by Pauline Parmentier of France in straight sets.
Back to drawing board for Petko.

^ Surprised with that result,Petko being knocked out.I kind of had high hopes for her this season,coming back from all those injuries,still lets wait for 2015,she may have needed more time to adjust on the tour in 2014.

Andrea showing some great muscle tone, but surprised too with the first round loss to Pauline. Pauline on occasion does defy the odds!

This Allertova girl is such a talent. Has so many weapons in her arsenal. Should work more on the mental aspect of the game, and i see no reason why she can't break into the top 50 and even further.
