In Tashkent, Margarita Gasparyan, ranked 299 from Russia, celebrated one of her best wins since coming back from injury.
The former world 41 was out for over a year, but a protected ranking allowed her direct entry into the Tashkent main draw.
Margarita began in a flash, at one stage winning five games straight, and taking the opening set 6-2 against Tatjana Maria (5)
The German player took advantage of Gasparyan errors in set two, and the single service break was enough to level the match 2-6 6-3.
Down 0-4 in the decider, Gasparyan seemed destined to exit Tashkent, but she broke back twice and sent the clash into a tie break. This she won clearly, and the victory was hers 6-2 3-6 7-6(2)
