I felt like I was going to have to play well to win,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-by-dr-dre-tour-254]Beats By Dr Dre[/url]," Williams said. <br />"I'm actually happy about my match and I never say that! I'm really excited about that. I've been working really <br />hard since the Open and hopefully I can continue with that here.&quot,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/the-recording-technician-gem-series-246]Monster Beats[/url]; <br />Earlier, World No.2 Victoria Azarenka was made to work a little harder against Sara Errani. <br />Wawrinka ready for singles success <br />Roger Federer on mental toughness <br />A workout with David Ferrer <br />Serena Williams' toughest challenge <br />The Belarusian eventually came thorough 7-6,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-by-solo-257]Beats by dre[/url], 6-2 but only after her Italian opponent sustained a calf injury at <br />the start of the second set. <br />Errani battled bravely but couldn't stop Azarenka bringing an end to a three-match losing streak which began <br />at the U.S. Open final where she lost to Williams. That defeat was followed by consecutive first round exits at <br />events in Tokyo, where she lost to sister Venus before she was dumped out in the first round of the China <br />Open in Beijing by Germany's Andrea Petkovic. <br />"I was missing a little bit too much at the beginning but I turned it around," Azarenka said after beating Errani. <br />"It was a little bit difficult to focus in the second set because I didn't know what was going on (with Errani's <br />injury). Even after the time-out, she was returning unbelievably and fought until the last point." <br />Sixth seed Petra Kvitova had a good head-to-head record going into her match against Poland's Agnieszka <br />Radwanska and once again came out on top. <br />The Czech triumphed in straight sets 6-4,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com]Billiga Monster[/url], 6-4 to improve her match record against the World No.4 to 5-1 and <br />secure her 50th win in a WTA match this year. <br />The season finale features the top eight singles players and the top four doubles pairings who are competing <br />for a $6 million prize pot. <br />Wawrinka crashes out in Basel <br />Two ATP Tour 500 events are taking place this week as the top men look to secure their place at the <br />season-ending World Tour Finals at the O2 Arena in London which start on November 4. <br />Home favorite Stanislas Wawrinka crashed out in the first round of the World Tour 500 event in Basel, <br />Switzerland going down in straight sets 6-4, 6-3 to Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France. <br />The Swiss No.2 is currently eighth in the rankings, but seventh in the Race to London given that Andy Murray <br />has withdrawn from the event,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/team-series-21-252]Billiga Beats By Dr Dre[/url]. Wawrinka can secure his place at the London finals with a good showing at the <br />Paris Masters next week. <br />Read more: Andy Murray to step up comeback <br />Tomas Berdych also suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Croatian Ivo Karlovic. The 34-year-old veteran <br />dispatched the World No.6 4-6, 7-6, 7-6. <br />Berdych would have guaranteed a place at the World Tour Finals in London if he had reached the semifinals <br />in Basel, but will now have wait until next week to seal a top eight slot. <br />Elsewhere, there were comfortable wins for Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis who overcame Germany's Benjamin <br />Becker 7-6, 6-1, and Croatia's Ivan Dodig, who is through to the second round after his opponent Carlos <br />Berlocq retired after two games. <br />Meanwhile at the ATP Tour event in Valencia, Spain's Nicolas Almagro is safely through to the second round <br />after beating compatriot Pablo Andujar 6-2,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-pro-diamond-edition-247]Beats Sverige[/url], 6-3. <br />But there was disappointment for the Spanish crowd as Fernando Verdasco went down 6-3 7-6 to Polish <br />qualifier Michal Przysiezny and Feliciano Lopez lost out 6-3, 6-1 to France's Julien Benneteau. <br />Przysiezny's compatriot Jerzy Janowicz also overcame Spanish opposition defeating Pablo Carreno 7-5, 7- <br />6. <br />Russia's Mikhail Youzhny is through to the second round after Bernard Tomic retired. The Australian pulled <br />out of the match when he was trailing 4-1 in the final set.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
