KAIA KANEPI — CHRISTINA MCHALE / 57. USA /

7:6(5) | 7:6(0)

Kaia won

Kaia won a very tough match 7/6 7/6 and reached to the third round.

Kaia’s own words: “It was very difficult and competitive match today. After food poisoning in Mexico and viral illness in Indian Wells, it was physically very hard for me. I got tired rather fast today. At times I played well and then she played well. The ups and towns changed quite fast. In tiebreaks I was more aggressive and it went well, especially in the last tiebreak. In third set it would have been physically very tough for me. I had to take more risks in the end and it paid off.”

Kaia will play Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP, WTA 17) in the next round. Kaia is leading their head to head 4:1. The match will most probably be played on Sunday.
