6:4 | 6:1

Kaia won

Kaia won and will play in the third round.

Kaia's own words: "I did not start well, I could not get my game going in the beginning. My shots were low and comfortable for my opponent. In the middle of the first set I started to change the rhythm and hit more topspin shots. After that I felt good and comfortable, I felt that I was better."

Next up will be the eight seed Angelique Kerber (GER, WTA9) in the third round. Kaia is leading their head-to-head and their last match was this year in Wimbledon.

The match will be played tomorrow as the second match at court number 11. First match starts 11 local time / 18 Estonian time.

Kaia and Sofia Arvidsson also played their first round doubles match today and they lost to Varvara Lepchenko (USA) and Saisai Zheng (CHN) 3:6, 3:6.
