Katarina, who had previously qualified, had a successful start in the main draw
Ukrainian tennis player Katarina Zavatskaya reached the 1/8 finals of the tournament WTA 250 in Monastir, Tunisia.
Her fight with Spaniard Jessica Bousas Maneiro lasted 99 minutes. Zavatskaya won both sets with the same score 6:4, making two double faults against her opponent’s five.
