Although neither made it past the qualifying stage, there were some pleasing results for the two sisters.
Jess won two out of her three matches in qualifying. She defeated fellow Australian Lara Vujasinovic 7-5, 6-3 in her opening match. That put her into the second round where she also played an Australian in Laicy Rogerson. She won that match, taking it 6-1, 6-1.
Jess then came up against the Australian fourth seed Ivana Popovic, where she went down 6-0, 6-4.
Steffi had a bye in the opening round, putting her straight into the second round. She was given a very tough draw, facing Australian second-seed Jelena Stojanovic. Steffi lost the match 6-0, 6-2.
This was Steffi’s second pro tour tournament in a number of weeks, after she featured at the Australian Pro Tour in Perth in February.
