Julia Goerges

1st round action finally kicked off at the Korea Open on Tuesday following a washout on Monday.  Caroline Wozniacki kicked things off in convincing fashion as she defeated Arantxa Rus, 6-1 6-2.  She was joined in the second round by Kaia Kanepi who beat Han-Sung-Hee, 6-1 6-0 in her first match since the French Open.  Varvara Lepchenko saved six second set points to defeat Camila Giorgi, 6-2 7-6; however Julia Goerges was not so lucky as she went down to Silvia Soler-Espinosa, 1-6 7-6 6-2.  Goerges’s season which started promisingly with a 4th round appearance at the Australian Open, has dipped considerably since she beat Agnieszka Radwanska in the first round of the Olympics.  She has a great A-game, but her latest results have shown that she has no answers when things are not going so well.
