KAIA KANEPI — VIRGINIA RUANO PASCUAL / 106. ESP /

6:7(5) | 7:6(6) | 6:1

Kaia won

At the $170,000 WTA Tour tournament in Kolkata, India Kaia faced 106th ranked Virginia Ruano Pascual of Spain in second round. After losing first set in tie-break 5-7 she managed to save a match-point against her in second set tie-break (tie-break 8-6) and turn the whole match to her favour. The final set was already pretty quick - 6-1 to Kaia. Also, the strenght of the opponent can be seen from the fact that she is the current No 1 doubles player in the world!

Well done, Kaia!

In quarterfinal she will meet the winner of the match between fourth seed Maria Elena Camerin of Italy (#100) and Sybille Bammer of Austria (#95). Quarterfinal will be played on Friday.
