It was a sweet revenge for Gunina, who had lost to Ushenina in the final of the opening leg a week ago. Kateryna Lagno of Russia took the third place after making short work of Iran's Sarasadat Khademalsharieh 9.5-2.5. Two more legs remain before the Super Final on July 20.
In the third Grand Prix leg, which begins on July 8, two Indians -- Koneru Humpy and Dronavalli Harika -- will be playing. Their fellow countrywoman R. Vaishali will be playing in only the fourth leg, though.
All the 22 women in the tournament get to play in three legs. The two players who end up with the highest Grand Prix points will qualify for the Super Final.
