Urszula Radwanska dislodges Ashley Weinhold in 2nd qualifying round – Bank of the West Classic 2011 
Kicking off on the 24th July 2011 was the qualifying second round of the Bank of the West Classic 2011 between the Pole, Urszula Radwanska and the American Ashley Weinhold. Meeting for the first time both the players duelled it out on the outdoor hard courts of the Taube Family Tennis Center, Stanford University, California. The Pole won the match in 1 hour, 29 minutes and zero seconds 6-1, 7-6(4).
Serving with great enthusiasm was Urszula; she opened set 1-0 by smashing an ace. She had perfect exactitude and struck zero double faults. However, her opponent was not able to ace and her precision faltered striking three line faults. Urszula had won seventy five percent of her first serve points and her second serve points along with sixty percent win in her total return points. While Ashley had average serve points and her total return points were a meagre twenty five percent which were below the par. Additionally, she was also unable to win any break point opportunities as her opponent had a strong defence and did not commit any break point chances on her serve instead Julia converted Ashley’s break points to her advantage and won the set with almost twice as many points as her opponents (Ashley).  
The second set was a close match between both the players. However, during the second set both the players broke each other once in the first ten games to square off the score at 5-5. Radwanska broke Weinhold in the eleventh game to take a 6-5 lead, however, Weinhold also broke Radwanska in the twelfth game to equalize the score 6-6 taking the match to a tie-breaker. However, Radwanska won the tie-breaker and the set.
Overall in the second set, Urszula was unable to hit an ace and with a wobbly accuracy hit two double faults. The Pole hung in the match and did not let her opponent take control instead she availed any opportunity she got and was able to triumph over Ashley by scoring six more points in the total set points.
Born on the 7th of December, 1990 the German born Pole has had eleven wins and fourteen loses this year. The 20-year-old reached her career high ranking of world number 62 on the 10th of August, 2009. Her most notable performance prior to her professional career was at Wimbledon where she won the Grand Slam title of Wimbledon Girls Singles as a junior player in 2007.
