4:6 | 4:6

Kaia lost

Kaia lost today in a very competitive match against Lucie Safarova and now rests for couple of days in order to find out how serious is the pain in her heels she developed after Estoril. The next in Kaia’s calendar is WTA premier level tournament in Rome.

Kaia’s own words. „It was difficult today, I did not feel great. After Estoril’s final, in the next morning, my heels were hurting a bit. I tried to play shorter points today, not to put much pressure on the heels. I bothered me when I needed to hustle. I did not take any painkillers. But sometimes it worked out great. The opponent played a great game and served also very well. I will see how the heels are recovering and after couple of days I will decide if I play Rome or Brussels next.”
