Not a good day for my favorites at the MPS Group Championships at Ponte Vedra Beach. I like four out of the eight quarterfinalists. And all of them lost. Alona Bondarenko, Dominika Cibulkova, Tamira Paszek, and especially Daniela Hantuchova!!! Firstly, I was hoping that Alona Bondarenko was finally back on top of her game, and I'm not saying she's been improving, but it was very sad that she got so close to beating the first seed, Nadia Petrova. Petrova took out Bondarenko, 46 63 76(5).
Another dissappointing result was when Canada's Aleksandra Wozniak defeated Austria's Tamira Paszek. This match also resulted in a final set tiebreaker. Wozniak unfortunately was the victor with the score at 63 36 76(7).
I was fond of both Dominika Cibulkova and Elena Vesnina, but I was leaning more towards Cibulkova. Vesnina won it in a very strenuous couple of hours, 75 67(5) 63.
The worst part of the night was when Hantuchova lost to tough Dane Caroline Wozniacki. The only match of the day that lasted less than two hours. Wozniacki won comfortably 62 62. Hopefully hantuchova can recover and play better in the next tournament.
Who I Want to Win: Elena Vesnina
Who I Think Will Win: Caroline Wozniacki
