Canberra’s Alison Bai, after having made an early exit in the first clay court tournament held last week, has advanced to the second round of the ACT Claycourt International #2, following a first round win over fellow Australian Alexandra Bozovic. Bai won 6-3, 6-4.
Last week we saw the 60,000k event held at the Canberra Tennis Centre in Lyneham. The winner was Slovakia’s Dalilia Jakupovic who defeated Australia’s Destanee Aiava. This week is a chance for another player to step up and take the title as both finalists from last week are not taking part.
In other matches, Great Britain’s Katy Dunne came back from 2-6, 0-2 to win 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 against Olivia Tjandramulia. Dunne is the no. 5 seed and appeared to be heading for back-to-back round one losses in Canberra.
