Coco Gauff starts the new tennis season in Auckland.
Coco Gauff quickly took a 4-0 lead against Claire Liu, but then did not finish the first set with the necessary consistency. The US Open winner gave up her serve game twice, but then benefited from her opponent losing her serve again in the last game of the starting round. In the second set, the number three in the tennis world became more stable and no longer gave up a serve game.
Gauff won against her compatriot after 83 minutes and will face qualifier Brenda Fruhvirtova in the second round of the New Zealand WTA tournament, who beat Anna Blinkova 7:5, 6:4.
Elina Svitolina bezwingt Caroline Wozniacki
Elina Svitolina defeated Caroline Wozniacki 6:4, 6:3 in 1:44 hours. Svitolina set the tone for most of the game and was in the lead for most of the match. Both players had break chances in almost every service game, which the Ukrainian was able to take advantage of more. The winner of the game Emma Raducanu against Gabriela Ruse is now waiting in the second round.
