Sesil Karatantcheva, Bulgaria's 19-year-old tennis player, beat the American Vania King 6:3, 7:5 in a match at the second qualifying round of a women's tennis tournament in Brisbane, Australia, on January 3 2009. The prize fund was US$220 000, Dnevnik daily reported on the same day.

Karatantcheva beat King in a game that lasted one hour and 41 minutes. The previous day, she had won the match against Julia Schruff of Germany, 6:4, 0:6, 6:4. On January 4, Karatantcheva will face Evgeniya Rodina of Russia in a game that will secure a place in the Brisbane International Tennis Tournament's general line-up, Focus news agency reported on January 3.

In 2006, Karatantcheva was slapped with a two-year ban on playing after she had two positive drug tests for the anabolic steroid nandrolone.
