CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Ginapi ni Daria Gavrilova si Daria Kasatkina, 6-3, 4-6, 6-0, sa larong tumagal nang mahigit dalawang oras nitong Huwebes (Biyernes sa Manila) upang makausad sa quarterfinal ng Volvo Car Open.
Naipanalo ni Kasatkina ang 14 sa 19 break points, habang naitala ni Gavrilova ang just 2 of 10.
“It was very difficult, and I was playing against my very good friend, so it was like double portion of toughness,” pahayag ni Kasatkina. “The main key was, I think, the break points. I won almost every break point.”
Sunod na makakaharap ni Kasatkina si No.10 seed Irina-Camelia Begu, ang 2016 quarterfinalist na nagpayanig kay 2010 champion Samantha Stosur sa second round ng Charleston.
