Kaia won and will meet Galina Voskobojeva (KAZ, WTA 68) in the second round.

Kaia's own words: "I was looking forward for my first match, to find out how I will manage being back at court. At first I was nervous, I started with double fault. It was expected and it did not make me more nervous. During first points I was hitting so soft, I think last time I played that soft when I was 14 years old :). Then I started to serve better and in the end of the first game I felt good. I felt that I am stronger and it gave me confidence. I am very satisfied with my groundstrokes, serve rhythm needs a bit polishing. I feel that I am physically in great shape and able to run - I do not need to play fast points.

I have not played with Galina lately. She is very skillful. She will probably hit some dropshots, come to net - she is a versatile player. Well, I need to think about my things, we'll see how it goes. I will play one point at a time.

Generally I do not feel much pressure, I feel free, and it is great to be back  competing. There is some excitement  in a day :)"

Kaia won and will meet tKiki Bertens (NED, WTA 63) in the next round.

Kaia's own words: "Today was better than yesterday, I was not nervous at all. I think I played better than yesterday. I felt that I improved during the match. My opponent today was also good and I had to play well in order to win.

The conditions were not great today. It was very windy. During couple of points there was no wind, I realised how great it would be to play without wind. I tried to hit more topspin and put more spin to my serve.

I’m watching the match of my future opponent at the moment. I have played with the Spaniard before, I know nothing at the moment about the Dutch player’s game.

My quarterfinal match will be on Friday."

Kaia's match with Kiki Berten is scheduled on Friday as the fourth match at centre court. The first match of the day starts at 13:15 local time / 07:15 Estonian time.

Kaia won and will meet Varvara Lepchenko (USA, WTA 21) in the semi-final match. The match will be tomorrow at centre court as the second meeting. Matches start at 12 local time/ 6 Estonian time.

Kaia’s own words: "It was difficult and competitive match today. The conditions were a bit different compared to my other matches here. It was a bit uncomfortable in the beginning with the lights and it was a bit cold today as well. My game was today up and down, it also showed in the score line. My opponent played well and aggressive. I think it helped me a that I managed to keep calm during difficult situations, my opponent was quite nervous at times. Although altogether the match was not the greatest, I am very satisfied with the win today. I actually quite enjoyed the difficult situations and how I managed to overcome them. In the second set when I was behind, I thought that I will play one point at the time and as long as the set s not over, I have a chance.

I do not know much about my tomorrows opponent. I have not played with her before but I did see her match a bit today. She is not very aggressive left-handed player, she hits with a lot of topspin. It will be very competitive match tomorrow, I have to be patient and choose the right shot at the right time.“

Kaia won and will meet the first seed Caroline Wazniacki (DEN, WTA 11) in the final. Kaia and Caroline will meet the sixth time, so far Caroline leads 3:2 in head-to-head. The finaly will be played tomorrow at 12 local time/ 6 Estonian time.

Kaia's own words: "I was quite dizzy today. First time I felt alive, when it was 3:3 in the deciding set. Then it become interesting. Physically I was a bit stiff, did not have lightness in my movement, a bit of lack of energy. It was very difficult game also mentally. My opponent played very long shots with lots of topspin to everywhere. It was very tricky.

I have played with Wozniacki several times. I try to be patient and aggressive as well. I cannot start just hitting back to her but I cannot take may risks as well. I think I will need a lot of patients for tomorrow.

In general I am very satisfied to play that much at my first tournament after such a long break.

Tomorrow we will fly to Tokyo and I will have to play there on Monday. It is a bit dense with the matches at the moment but I hope I will pull through"

The qualifiers were placed to the Tokyo tournament's draw today. Kaia will meet Silvia Soler-Espinosa (ESP WTA 78) in the first round. The Spaniard leads their head-to-head 2:1. Head-to-head Main draw

Kaia lost in the final of the first tournament after her injury break.

Kaia's own words: "The match was so short, there is not much to tell :) In the beginning I tried to be more aggressive, I made mistakes and lost confidence. I did not win her today by just hitting the balls back, she returned everything. I just could not get the balls to court. She played very well today. I felt like the slowest tennis player in the world. My legs were heavy, everything was stiff - like a senior. I got massage and hope it will not get any worse.

My calves are hurting and the calf sleeves help that the legs will not get tired very soon. I quite like them and will use them as well tomorrow.

It is very funny, I did very hard trainings before the tournament but here just after the second match, which lasted for one hour, my calves and buttock become sore. The work you have to do while competing, it is physically totally different than any practice.

I felt that after the second round match, I started to play worse and worse. I felt myself that I played the best in the second round here. In general I am very happy that my first tournament went as it did.

I hope to play as late as possible tomorrow in Tokyo, so I can rest a little more."
