Malek rallies past Suarez Navarro
BAD GASTEIN, Austria -- Tatjana Malek of Germany rallied to beat fifth-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 on Monday on the opening day of the Gastein Ladies.
Need the scores from any match played in today's tournaments? Malek fell a break behind in the third set but broke back and then earned another at 5-4 to win.
Also, Andrea Petkovic won an all-German match against Sandra Kloesel 6-4, 6-3, and Ioana Raluca Olaru of Romania rallied to beat Marta Domachowska of Poland 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
Second-seeded Francesca Schiavone of Italy, who lost in the final of the Prague Open to Sybille Bammer on Sunday, pulled out of the tournament citing a back injury.
Schiavone won her only WTA Tour title in Bad Gastein two years ago.
