The fifth-seeded Pennetta had been out of action since Montréal last August because of a right wrist injury that eventually required surgery. And sure enough, in her first match in over six months she came out rusty, falling behind to 2012 Bogotá runner-up Alexandra Panova, 64 32. However, Pennetta then showed off some of the form that previously took her to the Top 10 in the world and won 10 of the next 13 games for a 46 63 63 triumph.
