Speedy start from top players at the 2012 WTA Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart
STOSUR – PENG 6-2 6-2
It took less than 1 hour and 5 breaks for the muscular Australian to defeat the Chinese.”It was good. I thought I played well and served well. It was nice to get through in straight sets,” said Stosur.”It was handy to have been here a week already, whereas a lot of the other girls were only arriving from Fed Cup on Monday night. Sometimes the best preparations don’t equate to the best performance, but you aren’t going to complain about playing Fed Cup in the same place as your next event. I played well over the weekend and managed to keep that going today, so far so good as far as the clay court goes, so I am feeling good.”
Stosur will play the 2011 Champion Julia Goerges ( 5-7 6-3 6-4 on Pavlyuchenkova) in the next round.
KERBER – VINCI 6-2 6-3
It took only 67 minutes for the German to defeat Roberta Vinci of Italy. The Italian was quite unable to cope with their opponent to win only 30% point on her 2nd serve (8/27)
The German will face either Wozniacki or Jankovic in the 2nd round.
BARTOLI – BENESOVA 6-3 6-2
No problems also for the seed nr.7 that left only 5 games to the Czech qualifier. Marion was quite happy about her performance. She will play next either Ana Ivanovic or Mona Barthel
