Patricia Vehovec vs Jan Hocevar

So much for the number three seed. Patricia Vehovec came into her first-ever meeting with Jan Hocevar full of ambition and left with a 1-6, 2-6 souvenir. This wasn't a battle, it was a lesson: Hocevar dictated every rally, moved her corner to corner, and she never found an answer. Nine games handed over like spare change. With the win, Jan Hocevar stays perched on top with 39 points, while Patricia slips to third on 36, now watching Žiga Kranjc (37) breathe down her neck. But Hocevar shouldn't get comfy — his rival Žiga Kranjc is right behind at 37, itching for their next duel. Patricia, meanwhile, has homework.
