Russian tennis cutie pie, Anna Chakvetadze, lost in the second round of the 2008 WTA Tour China Open being played in Beijing, China Sept 22-28. Her tennis didn’t look as good in her match as she does in this photo, where she seems to be saying, “How dare you beat me! Anyone else want to try?”
Chakvetadze, seeded 8th in the tournament, won her first match against 42nd ranked Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic, 6-4, 7-5. Then she lost in the next round in straight sets to 20th ranked unseeded Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia.3-6, 2-6.
Chakvetadze lost in the 1st round of her two previous tournaments, the US Open, and the WTA Tour Toray Pan Pacific Open. So I guess making it to the 2nd round here is an improvement. Her world ranking of 12 is going to suffer, however, if she keeps this up.
