Marino Takes Down the Seventh Seed
Rebecca Marino got her campaign off to a good start as she knocked out the seventh seed and local hope Nao Hibino in straight sets on Tuesday.
Broken in the very first game of the match, the 32-year-old Marino clawed her way back to win the one hour and 20 minutes contest 6-3, 6-4.
The Canadian saved 4 of 6 break points in the match, while she capitalised on 4 of 5 breaking chances that she held during the contest.
The win ended a three match losing streak for the Canadian, who is 18-23 across levels this season and 14-14 on hard courts. A quarterfinalist in Birmingham, Marino is now a win away from reaching the last eight of a tour level event for the second time this year.

Mandlik Knocks Out Parry
World no. 167 Elizabeth Mandlik knocked out Diane Parry in straight sets to march into the second round on Tuesday.
Mandlik, who made it to the main draw by winning qualifying round matches, needed an hour and 39 minutes to beat the world no. 90, 7-5, 6-2.
Mandlik saved 3 of 5 break points and converted 5 of 7 to beat the Frenchwoman and reach the round of 16. In the qualifying round, she had scored a come-from-behind win over YangYa-yi in the first round and had beaten Haruka Kaji in straight sets.
The 22-year-old improved her season record to 27-24. While most of her success has come in either qualifying or lower level tournaments, on Thursday she has a chance to reach a second tour level quarterfinal of the season.
Earlier she had made it to the last eight in Nottingham.
