There were no surprises when all the seeded players made it to the second qualifying round at the CIMB Singapore Women’s Masters 2009.

In the remaining seven ties, only one went beyond a 3-0 scoreline, and that was the evening's highlight. A 60-minute tussle between World No. 28 Line Hansen and Malaysia's Low Wee Wern who's ranked five places below the Dane.

Hansen took a two-game lead (11-8, 12-10) only to see the 19-year-old from Penang coming back to take the next two. Hansen found it hard to keep her composure, tossing her racket in frustration on several occasions, and drawing a stroke from the umpire.

Game Five was nip and tuck as the duo exchange points, but Hansen's court command paid off, taking the decider 12-10.

Despite the loss, Low was upbeat with the result: "Line played two great shots at the end of Game Five and she deserve the win. I knew I had to hang in there and if I could get her to the fifth game, I would have a chance. I've been training well in the past three months in Penang, so this is an improvement to the 3-0 loss to Line the last time we met."

Sharon Wee edged out Jerryca Teo  and will meet Hansen for a place in the Main Draw.

Delia Arnold brushed aside Singapore's Mao Shi Hui in 28 minutes (11-4, 11-6, 11-2) to set up a meeting with Joey Chan from Hong Kong. Chan disposed of Malaysia's Hooi Wei Lin 11-3, 11-3, 11-4.

Donna Urquhart ended Singapore's hopes of sending a second player into the Main Draw by defeating Koh Kar Yan 11-8, 11-4, 11-4 and will meet England's Sarah Kippax who beat India's Joshna Chinappa.

Ireland's Aisling Blake ended the hopes of Japanese veteran Yuko Ikeda.
