On Center Court at the WTA 250 event in Linz, there was almost everything to see on Wednesday: A bitter defeat for Austrian hopeful Julia Grabher, a surprisingly clear end for number three Begu and a convincing success for number four: Anhelina Kalinina. In the last match of the day, Maria Sakkari also followed the key of the latter, the Greek won humorlessly in two sets.
Sakkari had to fight especially at the start of the match, but a late break in the first segment finally fixed the 6:4 set win for the favorite. In the second round, the number one from Linz hardly had any problems after an early break in the back. In the end, the seventh in the world rankings won 6:4 and 6:2.
