Estoril Open

Estoril POR, 30.04. – 05.05.2012 / International $220K clay

KAIA KANEPI — SLOANE STEPHENS / 83. USA /

6:1 | 6:0

Kaia won

Kaia's won words: "I played very well and confident today. I was aggressive and executed my shots well, I tried to move her around the court and made my shots work. She did not have many chances today. I felt confident on the second serve, during the match I did not realise that the first serve percentage is so low - I did not have a problem with it today

The weather was a bit cold and rainy in the morning. The court was a bit damp and soft in the beginning. During the game it was also quite windy occasionally.

I have played with King before; it was quite difficult match couple years ago in Rome. She moves well and hits also well. I had a practice with her here as well“

In the second round Kaia will meet Vania King (USA, WTA 52). Match will be held tomorrow at court number 2, not before 12:30 (local time)/ 14:30 (Estonian time)
