Gauff makes triumphant return, Kvitova criticizes scheduling at China Open

Posted : 03 October 2023
American tennis player Gauff, at 19 years old, made a triumphant return to the court after her last appearance, which saw her win her first Grand Slam title at the US Open in September.
 
Continuing her impressive form, she extended her unbeaten streak to 13 matches, winning 19 out of 20 since her early exit at Wimbledon. In her next match, she will face Petra Martic, currently ranked 48th in the world.
 
Meanwhile, Petra Kvitova voiced her criticism regarding the scheduling after her 6-4, 7-5 loss to Liudmila Samsonova in the second round. The two-time Wimbledon champion from the Czech Republic had a late finish to her first-round match against China's Wang Xiyu on Sunday and had to return to action on Monday.
 
Expressing her concerns on social media, she stated, "Far from ideal to finish my match at the @ChinaOpen at 1 am and then be back on the schedule at NB 5:30 pm the next day when some first-round matches had yet to be played. I have always played the sport with huge respect and rarely speak out, but this time I feel strongly enough to say that there *has* to have been a fairer option. Please do better for your players @WTA."
 
In other tournament action, world number two Iga Swiatek secured her spot in the second round with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Sara Sorribes Tormo.
 
Additionally, in first-round matches, fifth seed Elena Rybakina defeated Qinwen Zheng 6-1, 6-2, while Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur advanced after defeating Ashlyn Krueger 6-3, 6-4.
