KAIA KANEPI — CARLA SUAREZ NAVARRO / 17. ESP /

6:2 | 6:2

Kaia won

Kaia won 6:2 6:2 and reached to the quarterfinals.

Kaia’s own words: “I fell behind 0:2 in the beginning of the first set, but it did not go easy, I was making mistakes during the points and she played very well. This gave me courage to continue aggressively, you have to be aggressive playing against her and my touch on the ball was actually not bad. At some point she started to make more mistakes and I could level the score. Suddenly I realised that I had won six games in a row. In the second set I was dictating, I hit deep and it worked. I felt good on the court and in overall it was a very competitive match.”

Next up will be Maria Sharapova (WTA 4, RUS) who received a walkover from her second round opponent. Sharapova is leading the head-to-head against Kaia 2:0. The match will be played on Thursday ata 3:30 Estonian time/ 11:30 local time.
