Berlin, Qatar Telecom German Open Wednesday Results and 5/8 order of Play

Ten seeded players were in action for the second round of the Qatar Telecom German Open. Eight of the ten made it through the next round.

Justine Henin, top seed, runned over Chan Yung-Jan losing only 2 games in the match.
Ana Ivanovic had a hard first set against lucky loser Akgul Amanmuradova winning the set in tie break but then it was all Ivanovic in the second were she claimed the victory.
Svetlana Kuznetsova, Jelena Jankovic and Agnes Szavay were other seeds that advanced.

Anna Chakvetadze, 6th seed, can not find her way into winning and lost against Victoria Azarenka... I wonder what it's wrong with her... a while ago I read that she said that after the robbery she suffered in Russia she was not the same but I'm not sure if that has to do anything with her tennis.
The other seed that lost today is Nadie Petrova who failed to Kirilenko.

Check out all the results from the Qatar Telecom German Open and the order of play for Thursday.
