She eventually lost to Bernarda Pera, although she did earn the new World No. 50, a career high for the Hungarian. Her current record is 27-17, albeit the majority of those victories have occurred on the red dirt.
Fourth-seeded Sara Sorribes Tormo In the second round, Tormo defeated Leolia Jeanjean with ease, winning 6-0, 6-2. The three-set struggle she had with Ana Bogdan in the WTA Palermo opening, which she eventually won 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, was a significant improvement. Tormo is 20-12 and is now rated No. 41 in the world. He has had a good year overall. The Spaniard finished in the quarterfinals of Lausanne, Madrid, Istanbul, Monterrey, and Guadalajara in addition to winning a doubles championship in Istanbul.
