During the first set, the Belarusian conceded - 1: 4. But six of the next seven games she left behind. Szymanovic was clearly encouraged by this development, and in the second set she did not allow any doubts about her higher class. The third racket of our country closed the game in its favor, not bringing it to the third set.

In the match for entering the main draw of the competition, Irina Shimanovich will meet with American Li Ma (WTA: 287).

At the tournament in Guadalajara plan to perform Martha Kostyuk, Iva Jovic, Sarah Beilek, Dian Parry, Lyudmila Samsonova and other famous athletes. The main draw matches are scheduled for September 13-19.
