Ankita had a tough route to the main draw as she got past Hae-Sung Kim of Korea 7-6(3), 6-7(5), 6-3 in the final qualifying round after dropping three games in all in the first two rounds against local girls. The 330th-ranked Rushmi Chakravarthi, seeded eighth, lost 6-3, 1-6, 4-6 to Akiko Yonemura of Japan.
