Like yesterday’s match of the first stage of qualification against Ukrainian Yulia Starodubtseva (WTA: 50) (6:4, 7:5), today’s match turned out to be the most persistent. And the opponent created a lot of problems for the representative of our tennis school. However, Alexandra Sasnovich overcame all the difficulties and again came out victorious.

In each of the sets, the Belarusian made two breaks and did not hold one game on his own serve. The most difficult period came at the start of the second game, when our athlete conceded - 0: 2. But in the end, everything ended well for her.

With whom Alexandra Sasnovich will play next, will be known later.

Toray Pan Pacific Open Tennis matches will be held from October 26 to November 1. Last year, the winner of this tournament in the women's singles category was Swiss Belinda Bencic, who in the final was stronger than Linda Noskova from the Czech Republic (6: 2, 6: 3).
