MUMBAI: Sai Jayalakshmy stunned Russia's Nina Bratchikova 6-4, 7-6(9) in the ITF Women's tennis tournament at the MSLTA. The victory, marking the top seed's exit from the $25,000 event, vaulted the Indian into the singles quarterfinals. Sai depended on groundstrokes to pull out of the tight spots against the hard-hitting Russian. The unseeded Indian won on her sixth matchpoint in the second set tie-breaker. "I stuck to my game, relying on what works well," she said, piling up points against an error-prone top seed, topping the singles draw at 214. The results (Indians unless specified) Women's singles (second round): Sai Jayalakshmy bt 1-Nina Bratchikova (Rus) 6-4, 7-6(9); Shruti Dhawan bt Francesca Lubiani (Ita) 7-6(3), 7-5; 3-Napaporn Tongsalee (Thn) bt Natsumi Hamamura (Jpn) 6-4, 6-3; 6-Rushmi Chakravarthi bt Megha Vakharia 3-6, 6-2, 6-3; Andrea Hlavackova (Cze) bt 4-Montinee Tangpong (Thn) 6-0, 7-6(3); 7-Julia Vorobeva (Rus) bt Kristina Czafikova (Svk) 6-2, 6-1.
