WTA roundup: Liudmila Samsonova continues D.C. title defense

Eighth-seeded Russian Liudmila Samsonova continued her title defense with a clean 6-1, 6-3 victory over Sorana Cirstea of Romania on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the Mubadala Citi DC Open.

Samsonova won 25 of 29 (86 per cent) first-service points as she continues her quest to earn back-to-back titles at the event, where she beat Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the final a year ago.

It took just 59 minutes for Samsonova to oust Cirstea, who only managed to save one of five break points.

In two other second-round matches, No. 6 seed Belinda Bencic of Switzerland swept the United States’ Lauren Davis 6-1, 6-4, and Ukrainian Elina Svitolina upset fifth-seeded Russian Daria Kasatkina with a 6-2, 6-2 outing.

In a match between U.S. countrywomen, No. 3 seed Coco Gauff defeated Hailey Baptiste 6-1, 6-4. Another match pitting two Americans concluded the evening’s slate, with seventh-seeded Madison Keys cruising to a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Jennifer Brady.

Indian Ankita Raina spoiled Barbora Strycova’s homecourt advantage by rallying from an early deficit to earn a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory in a first-round match in the Czech Republic.

Strycova, a native of Pilsen, Czech Republic, tallied three aces and saved five of nine break points, but she let a 3-1, third-set lead slip away. Raina saved nine of 12 break points in advancing to the second round.

The day’s other matches were both second-round affairs, with Jacqueline Cristian of Romania cruising past Colombia’s Emiliana Arango, 6-4, 6-3, and Ukraine’s Kateryna Baindl picking up a 5-0 win after German Jule Niemeier retired in the first set.
