ISRAELI Tennis player Shahar Peer lost the final of the Hobart International, going down 6-2 6-4 to fourth seed Alona Bondarenko on January 16.

Peer was the second seed in the tournament, but could not continue her winning form.

Earlier this month, Peer made the semifinal of the ASB Classic in Auckland and appears to be in sparkling form ahead of the Australian Open.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Noam Okun was bundled out of the Australian Open qualifying tournament in the second round after losing to Polish player Michal Przysiezny 2-6, 7-5, 6-1.
