So far we have only had one match at WTA Tokyo


ATP Bangkok

Nieminen beat Troicki 7-6(4), 6-2. Nieminen beats the seventh seed at Bangkok to advance to the Quarter Finals, in a convincing straight sets win and will face third seed Melzer in the next round.

Becker beat Verdasco 6-4, 6-4. The second seed at Bangkok was shocked today by Becker, who eased past Verdasco to the Quarter Finals. This loss may be very important to Verdasco as he bids to play in the ATP world tour Finals, where only the top 8 players in the world play and he is number 8 at the moment. Becker will play Brands for a place in the Semi-Finals.
