STUTTGART: Defending champion Maria Sharapova admits she had a tough opening in her bid to win a third straight Stuttgart WTA tournament title after her three-sets win over Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic.
Sharapova, who has never lost on her two appearances in Stuttgart winning the 2012 and 2013 titles, will face Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in Thursday’s second round match after beating Safarova 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (5/7), 7-6 (7/2) late on Tuesday.
Sharapova had to dig deep having been just two points away from defeat when Safarova levelled at 30-all with the scores at 6-5 in the decisive third set.
The statuesque Russian, the sixth seed in Stuttgart, needed three hours, 24 minutes for the 100th clay-court victory of her career.
“I hadn’t expected that it would be an easy match,” said Sharapova, three days after her 27th birthday.
“I’m happy that I’m the winner, because at one stage in the third set I was only two points away from defeat.”
Pavlyuchenkova defeated Latvian qualifier Diana Marcinkevica 6-3, 6-2 to set up her clash with Sharapova for a quarter-final place.
Former world number one Jelena Jankovic, the fifth seed, saved four match points to reach Thursday’s last 16 when she came back to claim a 2-6, 7-6 (10/8), 6-3 win over German lucky loser Mona Barthel.
There were mixed fortunes for Germany’s Fed Cup heroines Sabine Lisicki and Julia Goerges, freshly returned from their Fed Cup semi-final in Australia.
Lisicki suffered a first-round exit in Stuttgart to former world number one Ana Ivanovic who enjoyed a 6-1, 6-3 win against last season’s Wimbledon finalist.
There were no such problems for Goerges, the 2011 Stuttgart champion, who enjoyed a 6-1, 7-5 first-round win over Romania’s Sorana Cirstea.
“This is a very special place for me, I still have incredible memories,” said the 25-year-old, who faces Ivanovic in the second round on Thursday.
Here's what people have asked and answered about working for and interviewing at UMB Financial Corporation.
UMB Bank is a great place to work for, based on my experience I learned how to work with different ethnic groups. I also learned to multi task much more because you had to re-rout phone calls to different departments. I also worked with the CEO greeting his clients. It was a graceful and humbling experience.
I am happy to say I believe the future for UMB is a great one. I only ran into 1-2 people that I don't believe are good for the company.
Bleak. The only thing keeping this company is that they don't do anything to help the common man. They are pretty much irrelevant in banking.

The Rittenhouse hotel is on the last leg of a multi-million dollars’ worth of renovations that began in 2012 when Hersha Hospitality Trust purchased the hotel.
The completion of the long-term renovation, broken our into phases over the years, could potentially separate it from competition as Philadelphia gets more hotel rooms.
Renovations worth upwards or $10 million are underway for the 118-room luxury hotel that first opened in 1989. The final round of updates involves a complete redesign of 96 rooms – new furnishings, design elements and technology, among others.
At Hotel 48Lex in New York, so-called gallery hosts use two laptop computers to check in guests and encode keys for the 116-room property, part of the Independent Collection.

Bollywood youth icon Ranbir Kapoor turns showstopper along with model-turned actress Katrina Kaif at Rohit Bal's show on Day 5 of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in New Delhi on October 28, 2009.
"I was pretty nervous to face the stage with a veteran model like Katrina. The idea of walking the ramp with her made me go blank every time I thought of it. It was she who led me beautifully to the stage making me feel comfortable with her," says the actor, who was in the Capital with Katrina to promote their film Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani set for release on November 6.
"My collection signifies the golden bird and the golden peacock which India was known before the British era. The collection is called 'Yasas', a name which the nation was once known by for its elegance and grandeur," says Bal about his collection.
Donned in Rohit Bal's exotic collection, Ranbir emerged in cream colour sherwani-style coat with pyjamas and Katrina had an embellished similar colour tunic to team up with him.
Appreciating Bal's work, Katrina says, "Rohit has always been innovative, passionate and fearless about his designs and creations which make him the cherry of the cake. His designs have always left the audience applauding."
With models such as Muzzamil Ibrahim, Carol Gracias, Jesse Randhawa, Noyonika Chaterjee and Lisa Hayden, Bal's says his show at the grand finale of the fashion week was based on 'Exotic India' signifying the country's inherent luxury.
