The 32-year-old Kvitová, who triumphed in the Spanish capital in 2011, 2015 and 2018, has not managed the opening matches in Charleston or Stuttgart in recent weeks. She had to catch up with Teichmann from the beginning, but her game was hampered by a large number of unforced errors, which she eventually collected 40 against 14 winning balls.

Fruhvirt, who was playing with a bandaged left thigh, deprived Kanepi of the serve right in the opening game, but her opponent immediately returned her break. In the eighth game, the Czech tennis player lost the serve for the second time and Kanepiová, who is 150 places higher in the rankings, then confirmed the gain of the first set. In the second set, after two breaks, Fruhvirtová already lost 2: 4. By winning two games in a row, she reduced her opponent’s lead, but she was no longer able to turn the game around.

Tereza Martincová’s revenge in the two-week-old defeat in the Prague qualifying match for advancing to the final of the Billie-Jean King Cup from the last US Open champion Emmy Raducanuová. The British, who broke up with coach Torben Beltz before the tournament after only five months of cooperation, averted the unfavorable 2: 5 situation and two sets of the Czech opponent in the first set and won the tie break. In the second set, the world number 11 on the court completely dominated.

Siniaková imitated Karolína Muchová and Maria Bouzková, who managed the matches of the 1st round on Thursday. Although she lost the first seven games against Konjuhová, in the rest of the match the 51st player in the world lost only one service and defeated her opponent for the first time in a third place in a third match.
