Kaia won

Kaia won intriguing match that lasted nearly 2 hours and 26 minutes.

Kaia in own words: " I went to play without any pressure. I hoped to get a good match in the beginning of this new season to get my feet going. At start it felt that neither of us got into the rhythm but since the middle of the first set things got better for both of us. This match was like any other match where one player played better at some point and on other times another player played better. Generally speaking I think it was a good match - win or loss is matter of small things as it was rather equal performance from both sides".

The best moments of the match can be seen here.

Next up wll be Madison Brengle (USA, WTA 91) and the match will be played most probably on Wednesday.

6:4 | 4:6 | 3:6

Kaia lost

Kaia lost after very competitive battle in three sets 6:4, 4:6, 3:6.

Kaia’s own words: „I played very well in the beginning, I was reading her shots well, played bravely and she made more mistakes. The match leveled in the end of the first set. In the second set my service % dropped and it got difficult. The decider was very competitive. I regret losing one of my service games when being ahead 30:0. Still, I tried to fight till the end as the match is not won before the final point is won. In overall, I am quite satisfied with my current form and I hope to get some good matches in Hobart.”

Next up will be WTA international level event in Hobart starting on Sunday, 11th of January. First round opponent will be Monica Puig (WTA 59, PUR).
