ADELAIDE: Petra Kvitova has continued her perfect start to the 2023 season in Australia, with smooth progress into the Adelaide International 2 second round. Following match wins over Jessica Pegula and Laura Siegemund at the United Cup in Sydney last week, the 32-year-old launched her Adelaide campaign with a 6-2 7-5 win over Elena Rybakina, reports adelaideinternational.com.au.
Danielle Collins is similarly partial to the conditions in Australia, as the American demonstrated in a sound 6-2 6-4 victory over Karolina Pliskova.
Movement, efficiency and composure were all sound for the American, who recalibrated to set up a second-round meeting with Switzerland's Jil Teichmann.
The world No.33 Teichmann was a 7-5 6-4 winner over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who was contesting her first match in eight months after a injury absence.
Beatriz Haddad-Maia also moved into the second round of the WTA 500 tournament, the world No.15 from Brazil requiring 77 minutes to complete a 7-6(5) 6-1 victory over Sorana Cirstea.
