Kaia won in 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Kaia’s own words: “I got food poisoning two days before the match and nothing has helped it so far. I do not know how I won the match. I played very aggressively as I could not manage to play long points. It all worked very well in the first set, in the second set she was more aggressive and at 3:4 she made two winner returns in a row on my very good first serves and there was nothing to do. In the third set again I was better and so it went.”

The second round opponent will be Julia Goerges (GER, WTA 88). The match will be played on Wednesday night at centre court.

Kaia won in 2 hours and 43 minutes against Julia Goerges saving one match point in the final set tie break.

Kaia's own words: "it was very up and down today. Once I played well then she played better and so on. We both are aggressive players. She served very well in the end of the first set. I played better in the second set. In the third set she was 4:1 up and had a match point in the tie break, where she double faulted. I do not know exactly how I pulled through. I remember thinking at 1:4 down in the decider that it is just one break difference and until it is not all over, I still have a chance."

Kaia will play Christina McHale (USA, WTA 70) in the quarterfinals. The math will be played on Thursday not before 17:30 local time / Friday morning at 02:30 Estonian time.

Kaia lost in the deciding set and the tournament ended this time in the quarterfinals.

Kaia's own words: "I did not get well into the match in the first set, I was stiff and it was difficult. In the second set I tried to play longer points, took more risks and it worked well. In the decider I had a good start and it was very competitive, in the end she played better."

Next tournament will be WTA premier event BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Main draw matches will start on March 5. As the first 34 players receive bye in the first round, Kaia will have her first match on March 7 or 8.
