Brisbane International

Brisbane AUS, 29.12. – 04.01.2014 / Premier

KAIA KANEPI — MARIA SHARAPOVA / 4. RUS /

6:4 | 3:6 | 2:6

Kaia lost

Kaia lost in 2 hours after winning the opening set 6:4 3:6 2:6.

Kaia’s own words: „I am happy that I stayed in the rallies at the baseline and I played quite well from there. My serve touch and rhythm was not good today and I think this was decisive. I did not get any initiative with my serve and the first serve percentage was low. I won the first set as she did not serve great then. In the second and third set she was serving much better.“

Kaia got 100 ranking points from Brisbane International and she will move up to the 25th place in the rankings next week. Next tournament will be WTA Premier event in Sydney starting on Sunday.
