Bob Larson's Tennis News | Barcelona Wednesday Summary

Singles - First Round: .Sorana Cirstea def. (8) Polona Hercog 6-4 retired (Dizziness)
No sooner did Polona Hercog seem to be coming out of her slump than she got sick.... This costs her her chance to rise above #35.

Singles - Second Round: Simona Halep def. (4) Roberta Vinci 6-1 6-3
Simona Halep continues to climb the rankings; one more win might put her in the Top Forty. Roberta Vinci was the defending champion, but the points don't come off this week, so her total isn't affected. Still, she will not rise above #18; she might fall.

Petra Cetkovska will certainly fall; this drops her from #28 to probably #29.

Sara Errani being Sara Errani, this isn't enough points to count. Her next win will count.

All in all, a crummy day for seeds.
