KAIA KANEPI — VANIA KING / 130. USA /

4:6 | 7:6(4) | 6:1

Kaia won

Kaia won and reached to the second round.

Kaia's own words: “I was a bit incecure in the first set as I have not played competitive matches for a long time. In the second set I tried to stay in the rallies as much as I could. In the third she broke down a bit and I found a good rythm.”

Kaia will play Anna Schmiedlova (SVK) in the next round. This will be their first match against each other and it will most probably take place on Wednesday.

This time Kaia is playing doubles as well. Her doubles partner is Sofia Arvidsson (SWE) and they will meet Varvara Lepchenko (USA) and Saisai Zheng (CHN) in the first round. Doubles draw here

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 KANEPI — ANGELIQUE KERBER / 9. GER /

0:6 | 4:6

Kaia lost

Kaia lost to Kerber in straight sets 0:6, 4:6

Kaia's own words: "it is a pity that I lost the first long game, it would have helped me to get into the match a little… After that game it felt like she got more and more confident and I was more and more insecure. So the first set went. In the second set I managed to get into the match in the last minute and this time could not manage to turn things around."
