Dulko Overcomes King at Indian Wells 2011
Dulko Overcomes King at Indian Wells 2011
Gisela Dulko rallied from down a set and a break Wednesday to defeat American wild card Vania King 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the opening main draw match on Stadium Court at the 2011 BNP Paribas Open.
King held double break point opportunity with Dulko serving for the match, but was unable to capitalise as the 47th-ranked Argentine won the final four points to close out the victory.
The 26-year-old Dulko, who will next play No. 14 seed Kaia Kanepi, has now won nine of her past 10 matches. She clinched her first WTA title in almost three years last month in Acapulco and followed with a semi-final showing in Monterrey.

G. DULKO/J. Henin 6-2, 1-6, 6-4
Q. Was this a different Henin at all, could you tell, than the one who played before her retirement? Was she less intimidating? Was it any different for you?
GISELA DULKO: Well, yes, I think so. You know, I was a different player today than the last time we play, you know.
I think I came out on the court, you know, trying to win the match since the first point, you know. Maybe last time I was a little bit more looking how she was playing and looking more at her than looking at me, so I think that was a big difference today.
Q. How did you mentally approach that last game, because you had the lead? She came back and you had to step up and finish the match. What was going through your mind at that time?
GISELA DULKO: It was tough. I was a little bit nerves from 5-2 to 5-4, you know. I think maybe it was the last chance for me to win the match, you know, with my serve and 5-4 up.
So I tried to focus really well the last game, put my first serves in, and I was starting with double faults. So I tried to focus on that, put first serves, and just play solid and play the same way I was playing the match. It’s good it worked at the end.

Dulko denies Henin another dream run
Justine Henin, whose return to tennis has so far yielded two finals appearances in two tournaments – including a Grand Slam runner-up finish – won’t have another dream run here.
Argentina’s Gisela Dulko defeated the former world number one 6-2, 1-6, 6-4 on Friday to reach the third round of the Indian Wells hardcourt tennis tournament, an event Henin won in 2004 and in which Dulko has never made it past the quarter-finals.
“It feels great – I don’t think I can talk right now I’m so excited,” said Dulko, ranked 37th in the world and seeded 31st here. “She’s an unbelievable champion.”
Henin became the first woman to hang up her racquet while still the top ranked player in the world in May 2008, citing fatigue.
But in a spectacular return, she reached the Australian Open final in her first Grand Slam tournament on the comeback trial, losing to current world number one Serena Williams 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
