YES YES YES! Vika answers another early test! She seems to be taking her difficult task of first round highly seeded players and running with it!

First Caroline at the AO now Kerber in Qatar! She'll be back at the top in no time.

Azarenka coming back! I'm not a fan of her hooting during rallies, but I have to admit things are much more interesting when she is in the mix.

Carla Suarez Navarro wins by retirement 6-5 over Garbine Muguruza.

Reason why Muguruza retired apparently had a 'high fever'
