KAIA KANEPI — KRISTINA MLADENOVIC / 51. FRA /
6:4 | 6:3
Kaia won
Kaia won in 1 hour and 24 minutes and reached to the second round.
Kaia’s own words "I played well today, I was aggressive and felt great. Now and then it was quite competitive. She served well, was aggressive. I do not know exactly what become decisive. I was more consistent, maybe that decided.
The conditions were good, there was not much wind today, and the balls were bouncing as I'm used to. In Marrakech we played with balls that flew off the racquet quite easily and bounced very high. Sometimes the misses were 10 meters from the line. The others had similar troubles :) Today I played confidently and I was not afraid to loose control over the ball. It was good match; I do not know what to add.
Tomorrow is a new match. I have not played against Sorana lately. She hits hard but I do not know exactly how well she currently plays."
Kaia will meet Sorana Cirstea (ROU, WTA 26) in the second round match tomorrow. Cirstea is leading their head-to-head by 3:2. Kaia lost their last meeting in the decider in March 2010. head-to-head
