In every Grand Slam, there is at least one or two Russian women who break into the Top 100, as if the Russian presence in women's tennis is not yet that predominant. In this year's edition of the Australian Open, Nina Bratchikova is one Russian woman who had to defeat a veteran player, #20-ranked Flavia Pennetta, to get herself into the second round! She is currently ranked #136. She is into a good part of the draw and may even have a chance to reach the fourth round if she continues to play well. In the second round, she will meet another Italian player, Alberta Brianti (#71).
