Varvara Gracheva had revenge to take. It’s done. A week after being defeated by Kamilla Rakhimova in the first round in Hong Kong, the Frenchwoman, 45th in the world and seeded number 7, this time showed more realism to overcome the Russian (6- 3, 6-4, in 1 hour 30 minutes) on the occasion of his entry into contention on Tuesday at the tournament in Nanchang (China).
However, Gracheva was not necessarily more skillful than during their last confrontation during the first set (56% first serves and 8 double faults). The Habs stood out above all for their efficiency in converting (3/3), but also saving break points (5/6), to advance to the second round. She will face the winner of the match between tournament guest Yuhan Wang and Czech Katerina Siniakova.
