The Danish Carolina Wozniacki and the Russian Carolina Wozniacki, number one and two in the world, respectively, took a walk this Wednesday in the second round of the tournament of tennis from Doha, while the Spanish Carla Suárez fell to the English Johanna Konta.
Wozniacki easily beat Germany’s Carina Witthoeft, 6-2, 6-0; While Halep did the same with the Russian Ekaterina Makanova, 6-3 and 6-0. The Ukraine Elina Svitolina, third favorite, also agreed to the next turn, in a day without great surprises.
However, the Spanish Carla Suárez has fallen to the British Johanna Konta, tenth favorite, in the second round of that tournament, endowed with $ 3,173,000 in prizes.
Konta (n.11 WTA) easily beat the Canary Islands (n.29), by a double 6-2, in one hour and 22 minutes, adding her second win against the Spanish, in the same number of clashes.
It was a very affordable victory for the Syndey-born, but British nationalized in 2012, who took advantage of Carla Suárez’s weak service (no direct points and 59 percent of first aces), counting on sixteen break balls (she took advantage of five ).
Likewise, it was confirmed that the rival in the third round of the Spanish-Venezuelan Garbiñe Muguruza, fourth seeded, will be the Romanian Sorana Cirstea, who surprised the Belgian Elise Mertens, fifteenth favorite, with a 7-5 and 6-4.
