張凱貞~加油！
從WTA官網的報導與比數來看，張凱貞發揮了十足的拚戰精神；第一次有台灣的選手擊敗WTA排名第一的選手，希望此勝能帶給她更強的自信與鬥志，在網壇闖出一片天。杉山愛在這個泛太平女網賽事後退休，退休儀式(2009.9.27)就在張凱貞擊敗莎菲娜的前一天，不禁令我聯想：這個亞洲選手在世界網壇的一席之地是不是就傳給張凱貞了呢？！
張凱貞~加油！加油！加油！

Qualifiers Conquer Top 10 Stars
September 28, 2009TOKYO, Japan - World No.1 Dinara Safina didn't have a great ending to the summer season and on Monday started off her fall campaign in the same way, losing her Toray Pan Pacific Open opener to qualifier Chang Kai-Chen.
Safina, the top seed and defending champion at the Premier-level tournament, was not on her A-game by any means but was also kept on her back foot for most of the match by the gritty Chang. The No.132-ranked teenager pummelled her two-fisted groundstrokes deep and hard throughout the match, earning particular success by picking on the Safina forehand. The Russian led 5-3 third set but that side broke down right at the finish line, including hitting one last error on match point. Chang collected her biggest ever win, 76(5) 46 75.
Safina has now lost four of her last six matches. In her most recent appearance, she reached the third round of the US Open before falling to Petra Kvitova. The last time a reigning world No.1 lost to someone outside the Top 100 came at last year's US Open, when Ana Ivanovic lost to then-No.188 Julie Coin.
Chang is playing in the fourth Sony Ericsson WTA Tour main draw of her young career, her first three coming all in the last month, reaching the second round of the US Open, falling first round at Guangzhou and reaching another second round at Seoul. This is her best result yet, as she enters the third round now.
Safina wasn't the only big name to fall to a qualifier, as No.5 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova lost out to Andrea Petkovic, 75 46 63. Petkovic broke in the second-to-last game of the match and served it out at love. Both Chang and Petkovic collected their first career Top 10 wins on Monday, against last year's Tokyo finalists (Safina beat Kuznetsova in the final here a year ago).
In the only other second round match, No.2 seed Venus Williams faced another qualifier, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
First round winners were No.11 seed Agnieszka Radwanska, No.12 seed Samantha Stosur, No.13 seed Nadia Petrova, No.14 seed Marion Bartoli, Daniela Hantuchova, Zheng Jie, Vera Dushevina, Magdalena Rybarikova and qualifier Kateryna Bondarenko.
Petrova's win came against Ai Sugiyama, who retired due to illness in the last singles match of her career. Sugiyama is retiring after this tournament. She is still alive in the doubles competition, partnering Hantuchova.
