Jan 3, 2006 By Alan Granville at the ASB Tennis Centre It proved to be a struggle but ASB Classic second seed and poster-girl Daniela Hantuchova grabbed a place in the second round after a 2-6 6-3 6-2 win over Ukrainian Yulia Beygelzimer. Beygelzimer, who won a feeder tournament to claim a place in the main draw, defied her lowly world ranking of 154 to come out of the blocks quickest and raced into a 5-0 lead before a stunned Centre Court crowd. A stinging forehand and some nifty drop shots bedazzled her opponent, ranked 17 in the world. Hantuchova finally found some of her game to pull back to 5-2 but her opponent closed out the set and looked on course for one of the biggest upset wins ever at the ASB Classic. The turning point came in the seventh game of the second set when Hantuchova finally got a break on Beygelzimer's serve after squandering a host of opportunities. After that the challenge of the Ukrainian started to wilt and as Hantuchova sealed the second set the writing was on the wall when the Slovakian went 3-0 up in the decider. Luckily for the ASB Classic organisers there was no more fight from the unseeded Beygelzimer and the number two seed set up a match against American Jill Craybas in round two. She admitted that she needed to raise her game against Craybas. "I have played her a couple of times but I can't remember how I did. I know I need to play much better than I did today. "I need to play much more aggressively than I did and at the same time not giving away so many easy points. I must try to focus on my serve and bring my first-serve percentage up." 第一盤本來差點被剃光頭阿.... 5:0落後這真的很韓娃..... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.74.240.138
