wta china open, day 3

got myself a ground pass (10 yuan, less than $2 australian or u.s.) which would have allowed me to watch 1 single and 2 doubles matches on court 1 today... very cheap but not that one could say very good value.

in the end i saw the first singles between anabel medina-g and marion bartoli, and then after suitable rest - bartoli again partnering gisela dulko, against jankovic and li na. that suitable rest lasted something like an hour and a half, and the 2nd match went like 6-0, 0-6 and into the 3rd... :O so i missed the last match featuring the no.1 chinese female doubles partnership.

i have to admit that i know very little of women's tennis (!) and wouldn't know most of the names that i'm writing about, without use of a match schedule :p
