The news from Oz is just as bad as the news from most other tournaments this week, though Anna gave the 6th seed a good run for her money:
R1: Melanie SOUTH (GBR) WR 309 lost to (LL) Kotomi TAKAHATA (JPN) WR 1148 by 6-4 3-1 ret. R1: (Q) Anna FITZPATRICK (GBR) WR 494 lost to (6) Monique ADAMCZAK (AUS) WR 250 (CH 138 in 2010) by 6-4 6-7(4) 6-4
