Bouzková was not enough for Gračová
Tennis player Marie Bouzková was not enough at the clay tournament in Istanbul on Varvar Gračová and for the first time this season she dropped out in the first round. The Russian opponent, who is also in the top ten, resisted for an hour and a half before losing 3: 6 and 5: 7.

The match was supposed to be played on Tuesday, when Tereza Martincová dropped out, but it was postponed by the rain. WART Tour debutant Nikola Bartůňková is still playing today.

In February, Bouzková made it to the finals of the event in Guadalajara, Mexico. A month ago in Indian Wells, she reached the 3rd round, but injured her ankle. She then dropped out in the second round in Miami.
–
Over the weekend in Prague, she was a member of the winning team in the Billie Jean King Cup qualification, but she did not succeed in the Turkish capital. She lost 0: 3 against Gračovová and did not make up for the loss of service. In the second set, the Russian opponent managed a key break at 6: 5.
