Ukrainian tennis players had a different start at the prestigious clay tournament of the WTA 500 series.
Angelina Kalinina made a confident start to the prestigious WTA 500 series tournament in Charleston, America. The Ukrainian, seeded in the competition and starting in the second round, defeated former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in her first match.
We remind you that this is the match against the representative of Denmark that Kalinina started two weeks ago at the WTA 1000 tournament in Miami. Then our athlete won a strong victory in three sets. This time the match did not go ahead; Angelina managed it in two games and 80 minutes on court.
Meanwhile, Lesya Tsurenko unexpectedly ended her performances in Charleston. The Ukrainian lost to Astra Charmy from Australia in two sets in 76 minutes. Moreover, the latter did not pass the qualifications for the competition and began competing in the main draw as a lucky loser.
