Australian No.1 Arina Rodionova has finally been brought down to earth at the Thailand Open in Hua Hin after a high-flying week in which she made tennis history.
The Melbourne veteran, who had been left emotional 24 hours earlier after realising that she will next week become the oldest women's player ever to debut in the world's top-100 at the age of 34, lost her quarter-final on Friday to the second seed, Zhu Lin.
