Tennis player Kateřina Siniaková defeated the Danish Clara Tauson at the beginning of the clay tournament in Parma 6: 1, 6: 3 and in the second round she will face Serena Williams for the first time in her career. The famous American woman starts the tournament after an early elimination last week in Rome on a wild card and in the opening round she defeated the home qualifier Lisa Pigatová.

The 68th player in the world, Siniaková, played the ranking favorite against Tauson and defeated her 18-year-old opponent in the first mutual duel in less than an hour and a half. The 25-year-old Czech tennis player, who played with a bandaged right thigh, took the young Danes five times and turned the first sword ball.
Williams started the clay season a week ago in Rome and lost in her first duel to the Argentine Nadia Podoroska. The 39-year-old American included a tournament in Parma in the program at the last minute due to the game ahead of Roland Garros, and as the number one player today she defeated the 572nd player in the Pigat 6: 3, 6: 2.
