Dinah Pfizenmaier: Player Ranked Outside Top 100 Who's Into Second Round of French Open 2012
German women's tennis is really experiencing a Renaissance nowadays. It's not like they need another player to be in the top 100. Anyhow, Dinah Pfizenmaier, currently ranked #198, reaches the second round of Roland Garros this year. She won over local girl Caroline Garcia (#135), 36 64 63. Her second round opponent though is world #1 Victoria Azarenka, where she lost 61 61. If she continues the way she plays, she should be in the top 100 in no time!

Tommy Haas: Player Ranked Outside Top 100 Who's Into Second Round of French Open 2012
At the ripe old age of 34, Tommy Haas is still pounding the tennis court, still causing damage here and there. This time around, he defeated Italian Filippo Volandri (ranked #81) in the first round, 63 06 64 64. Currently ranked #112 in the world, Haas has a good chance of making it into the third round, as his opponent in the second round is Kazakh Sergiy Stakhovsky (ranked #84). As for me, I hope reaches as far as the quarterfinals! If he just plays good enough, he can achieve it! He has reached the 4th round here twice, in 2002, and 2009.
