WARSAW, Poland(AP) Romanian qualifier Ioana Raluca Olaru beat Jelena Dokic of Australia 6-4, 6-3 Tuesday in the first round of the Warsaw Open.
The 106th-ranked Olaru broke twice in each set and only dropped serve once in the match at the clay-court tournament.
A very, very poor match - probably my worst match in the last two years,'' Dokic said.Really erratic and too many unforced errors.''
Once ranked as high as No. 4 in 2002, Dokic's career stalled and four years later she tumbled to No. 617. But her resurgence peaked in January when she reached the Australian Open quarterfinals after entering as a wild card. She is currently ranked No. 72.
Earlier this month, she said in an interview with an Australian magazine that her father, Damir Dokic, physically abused her earlier in her career. Dokic, who is estranged from her father, told how she fled from her family in 2002 to escape the abuse.
Damir Dokic reportedly made threats against the Australian ambassador in Serbia after the interview was published. Serbian police detained Dokic in Belgrade on May 7 over the reported threats, and an investigation in pending.
Dokic wouldn't take questions on her relationship with her father on Tuesday.
Also, fifth-seeded Sara Errani of Italy downed Greta Arn of Hungary 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (2), and No. 6 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia rallied to beat Nuria Llagoster Vives of Spain 3-6, 6-3, 6-3
``She's a very good clay-court player, and I'm really glad that I won this match because it was not easy,'' Hantuchova said.
