Zheng suffers first round loss in Dubai

Question

Australian Open semi-finalist Jie Zheng has suffered a surprise defeat by Australia’s Alicia Molik in the first round of action at the 2010 Dubai Tennis Championships. Molik won the match in three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.

Answer 1

It’s good news for Molik as she seeks to re-launch a career that was initially cut short by inner ear problems. Zheng is the first victory Molik has claimed over a top 20 player this year.
