This time, however, she had to qualify.
The 14th-seeded Vandeweghe, a member of the Sacramento Capitals of World TeamTennis, downed 11th-seeded Lara Arruabarrena-Vecin of Spain 6-2, 6-7 (2), 7-5 Thursday to advance. Vandeweghe's first-round opponent will be determined in today's draw.
Vandeweghe has slipped from No. 102 in the world one year ago to No. 132. She lost to Eleni Daniilidou of Greece 6-4, 6-4 in the first round at Wimbledon last year.
Vandeweghe, the 20-year-old niece of former NBA star Kiki Vandeweghe, is scheduled to play at least five of the Capitals' 14 regular-season matches next month.
