Italian fourth seed crashes out to Chakvetadze

Fourth seed Sara Errani saw her hopes of lifting the Banka Koper Slovenia Open title come crashing down as she was dumped out by Anna Chakvetadze. Errani was simply outclassed in the second round as the Russian, a former world No.6, romped to a 6-1 6-2 victory in under an hour. However while Errani failed to make it into the last 16, fellow seeds Vera Dushevina and Polona Hercog came through their ties unscathed. Sixth-ranked Dushevina did have to recover from a slow start before overcoming Virginie Razzano 4-6 7-5 6-2, while seventh seed Hercog saw off wild card Katarina Srebotnik 6-4 6-7 6-3. Stefanie Voegele is also through to the next round after she beat Tamira Paszek 7-5 6-4.
