I can't think of a better way to start the journey in a tournament like the WTA 1000 in Doha than by surpassing the qualifying rounds and winning in the first round. That's exactly what Cristina Bucsa did, who, after entering the main draw, today defeated a top 20 player like Anna Kalinskaya (6-7, 7-5, 6-4) in a match where the Russian showed signs of not being at her best yet. This was very well exploited by the player from Cantabria, who will now face Elise Mertens in the next round. Going for the fourth consecutive victory against an opponent she leads 1-0 in their head-to-head.
