At the beginning, Siniaková managed to deal with the Danish Clara Tauson without any problems, but now she will probably have much harder work ahead of her. Twenty-three-time singles grand slam champion Serena Williams starts a wild card in Parma after losing to Argentina Nadia Podoroska last week at the start of the tournament in Rome.
The 39-year-old American, in her role as the number one, started victoriously in Parma this time. The home qualifier, the 572nd player in the world, Lisa Pigatová was defeated 6: 3, 6: 2.
