Kaia lost

Kaia lost in three sets 3:6 7:6 2:6.

Kaia's own words: "She served very well today and played aggressively. I had also many break point opportunities in the first set but could not convert them. I did not serve as well as I did in the first round match. When the serve does not work, then it is very difficult to play on grass with the style I have. I think that my serve was deciseve today."

Kaia will play in Contrexeville France next week in an $100 000 ITF event.

6:3 | 6:2

Kaia won

Kaia won in 1 hour and 10 minutes and reached to the second round. This was her fourth win against Jankovic.

Kaia’s own words: “I was positively surprised that I managed to play so well during the entire match, considering that I have not had good rhythm lately. I did not have any pressure today and this is when I play my best tennis.

When I serve well, as I did today, the grass court suits my style well. You have to be aggressive from the beginning of the point and move your opponent around. I have positive memories form court number 2 as I won against Kerber at the same court last year. I also like when there is a big crowd watching my matches, it creates a great vibe of a good competition.”

Next up will be Yaroslava Shvedova (KAZ, WTA 65). Shvedova is leading their head-to-head 2:1. The last encounter was in Indian Wells this year where Shvedova won 6:3, 6:2. The match will be played on Thursday.

Kaia withdrew from Rome due to right heel injury

After consulting with doctors in Madrid, Kaia decided to withdraw from Rome WTA tournament due to right heel injury.

Kaia’s own words: „I started to feel pain again in my right heel after first round match in Miami. Usually some minor pain in the heel passes within one day, it took two weeks to recover this time. It also affected my preparation for the clay season as I could only play once a day. During past tournaments I could only play the first set without any pain, then I started to feel some pain in the heel again.

After my first round loss in Madrid I consulted with several doctors who in overall were optimistic. They said that it is common for athletes and with right treatment and exercises it is possible to overcome it. Right now I give my legs a bit rest and do recreational exercises that the doctors suggested. I do plan to participate in Paris and Wimbledon.“
