Kaia won

Kaia won and reached to the second round at China Open.

Kaia's own words: "The first match was difficult as usual. The balls and court were uncomfortable. I think because of that we did not have many long rallies. But of course I am very satisfied with the victory.

Although we played in the middle of the day, they had to turn the court lamps on. The smog was so heavy that the weather forecast announced that it was very unhealthy to be outside today and suggested to wear protective masks :)"

Kaia will meet Lucie Safarova (CZE, WTA 35) in the second round. The match will be held tomorrow night at 21 local time / 16:00 Estonian time
