Peng Shuai of China is off to a good start in 2011, with a semifinal appearance at this year's Auckland Classic. This should improve her current ranking of #72. In the semis, she loses to Yanina Wickmayer in a very tight game. This is her path to the semi's -
SF - Yanina Wickmayer (BEL) (#23) 36 76(3) 75
QF - Heather Watson (GBR) (#176) 64 75
2R - Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) (#27) 26 64 64
1R - Johana Larsson (SWE) (#69) 61 63
Zheng Jie just withdrew from the Australian Open, so Peng will be taking the cudgels for China, as that Grand Slam starts in a few weeks. Her wins over three players ranked higher than her, shows what she is actually capable of and we hope it's going to be a good season for her.
