Allegra Korpanec Davies will be looking to build on a successful week in Ecuador, and is joined by Freya Peet and Athina Schlepphorst, who negotiated qualifying. Athina's chances of claiming a first win above J100 level should be helped by drawing a wildcard yet to win a match on the ITF circuit
R1 (L32)
Ligaya Murray (USA) v (6) Allegra Korpanec Davies
(Q) Athina Schlepphorst v (WC) Bianca Seminario (PER)
Last week Allegra was the only player to take a set off Kali Supova, and the 15 year old Slovakian provides a formidable barrier to her progress this week as well.
QF
Kali Supova (SVK) v (6) Allegra Korpanec Davies
Doubles SF
(1) Korpanec Davies/Pareja (GBR/USA) v (4) Fedotova/Hettlerova (DOM/CZE)
Allegra goes one better and takes two sets Revenge for last week's SF loss to the eventual tournament winner
QF
(6) Allegra Korpanec Davies def. Kali Supova (SVK) 6-3 6-3
She'll now play the best WTA ranked 2009 girl in the world, Julieta Pareja (who is also Allegra's doubles partner here)
And talking of which, Allegra and Julieta are into the final of the doubles, and will play Kali & Popa (2009) who is also in the other singles semi, against Aytoyan
A brutal scoreline for Allegra against her doubles partner, which may have impacted her for the doubles final. Mind you the 1 game she got was more than Aytoyan managed in the other semi (vs Popa)
