Vania King Finds Foothold at Jill Craybas Loss

The Monterrey Open in Mexico started on monday. Jill Craybas and Vania King were the only two americans to enter the tournament. Jill Craybas exited the tournament in the first round to the third seed from Italy, Flavia Pennetta. Vania King won her first round match in straight sets against the czech Klara Zakopalova. Then continued, winning her second round match earlier today in three sets 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. She did this upsetting the Hungarian Agnes Szavay and will play the French Marion Bartoli tommorow in the quarterfinals. Hopefully, Vania King will do well in this tournament and continue to improve throughout the year.
King is currently ranked 108 for singles in the world and should progress breaking the top 100 after her success in this tournament. Her entire player profile and picture can be viewed here courtesy of the official Sony Ericson WTA Tour website.
