Zvonareva, Hantuchova advance; Cibulkova exits Pattaya Open

Tennis Betting Lines

02/07/2012 - Pattaya City, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two-time champion Vera Zvonareva and reigning titlist Daniela Hantuchova posted first-round wins, while second- seeded Dominika Cibulkova came up a loser Tuesday at the $220,000 Pattaya Open tennis tournament.

The top-seeded Zvonareva handled Thai qualifier Varatchaya Wongteanchai 6-2, 7-5 on the hardcourts at Dusit Resort Pattaya. The Russian Zvonareva, the 2010 Wimbledon and U.S. Open runner-up, captured back-to-back titles in Pattaya City in 2009 and 2010.

The third-seeded Hantuchova resumed her winning ways at this event with a 6-2, 6-0 pasting of Thai wild card Nungnadda Wannasuk. Hantuchova beat Italian Sara Errani in last year's finale here.

Meanwhile, Brit Anne Keothavong dismissed Cibulkova in 6-4, 6-1 fashion, while fourth-seeded Russian Maria Kirilenko moved on with a 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 victory over Aussie Casey Dellacqua on Day 2.

Other upsets came when qualifier Su-Wei Hsieh of Taipei humbled fifth-seeded Chinese Zheng Jie 6-3, 6-2 and Thai veteran Tamarine Tanasugarn took out sixth-seeded Kazakhstani Galina Voskoboeva 6-3, 4-2, retired. The 34-year- old Tanasugarn was the Pattaya Open runner-up to Zvonareva two years ago and was also a finalist here way back in 1996.

Eighth-seeded American Vania King avoided the upset bug with a 6-4, 6-2 decision against Britain's Heather Watson.

Additional first-round wins came for Russian Alla Kudryavtseva, qualifier Kai- Chen Chang of Taipei, Uzbekistan's Akgul Amanmuradova, Pole Urszula Radwanska, Japan's Misaki Doi and 41-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm, and Indian Sania Mirza.

The 2012 Pattaya City champion will collect $37,000.
