There are no seeded players left in the Moorilla Hobart International after top seed Flavia Pennetta from Italy was ousted by Slovakian Magdalena Rybarikova 7-5 6-3 in the second round.

Pennetta, the world number 13, was the third seed to be upset in straight sets by a lower-ranked player.

Sixth seed Ji Zheng of China lost to Argentina’s Gisela Dulko and seventh-seeded Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko bowed out to Czech Petra Kvitova.

    Well !! I do not know what to say, sorry for Flavia,The firt serve did not work, and when that happens she is vulnerable. My compliment to Magdalena Rybarikova. We will see more of her in the future….
