Australian Open

Melbourne AUS, 13.01. – 25.01.2014 / GS

KAIA KANEPI — GARBINE MUGURUZA / 58. ESP /

2:6 | 6:2 | 2:6

Kaia lost

Kaia lost 2:6, 6:2, 2:6. The match was played in very hot conditions; the temperature during the match was over +40C.

Kaia's own words: "I did not find any rhythm in the first set. In the second set I played well and she made more mistakes. The third set started very competitively. It is a pity that I lost the first game. I was leading 40:15 and she got two points from the net cord. She got more into the match and I could not destroy her game as well as I did in the second set. I made mistakes while attacking and so it went. I think I have not played in such a hot weather before. Luckily there were not many long rallies.”

Tomorrow Kaia will play her first round doubles match.

Next tournament will be Fed Cup in Estonia in 5 – 8 of February.
