WTA WTA roundup: No. 1 seed Daria Kasatkina survives scare in Quebec


No. 1 seed Daria Kasatkina of Russia dropped a first-set tiebreak before coming back to win a marathon over Belgium’s Greet Minnen 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2 on Monday in first-round action at the Championnats Banque Nationale de Granby in Granby, Quebec.

Kasatkina won despite committing 12 double faults and Minnen serving five aces. Kasatkina saved six of 10 break points during the two-hour, 57-minute match.

Third seed Jasmine Paolini of Italy, fourth seed Anna Bondar of Hungary, fifth seed Nuria Parrizas Diaz of Spain, eighth seed Tereza Martincova of the Czech Republic and 10th seed Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine all won their matches in straight sets.

No. 7 seed Kaja Juvan of Slovenia bowed out early, falling 7-5, 6-3 to Canadian Cadence Brace. Two more Canadians, Rebecca Marino and Marina Stakusic, also advanced, as did France’s Diane Parry and China’s Xiyu Wang.

Tennis in the Land

Italian No. 2 seed Martina Trevisan rallied for a 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Egypt’s Mayar Sherif in a first-round match in Cleveland.

Trevisan committed nine double faults without recording an ace, but still won on the strength of winning two-thirds of her first-service points (36 of 54) and converting 5 of 9 break-point opportunities.

Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain and Camila Osorio of Colombia finished up a match that was suspended Sunday due to weather, with Sorribes Tormo prevailing 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-3 in three hours and 54 minutes.

Top-seeded Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic had little trouble with American lucky loser Francesca Di Lorenzo, cruising to a 6-3, 6-1 victory.

Third-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova of Russia edged the United States’ Lauren Davis 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, and eighth-seeded Alize Cornet of France routed Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska 6-2, 6-1.

Other winners Monday included Laura Siegemund of Germany, Shuai Zhang of China, Magda Linette of Poland, Clara Tauson of Denmark, Sorana Cirstea of Romania and Americans Sofia Kenin, Madison Brengle and Bernarda Pera.
