Adelaide International: Kasatkina rolls into second round as Vekic crashes

The Hindu  

Adelaide World number nine Daria Kasatkina swept into the Adelaide International second round on Monday, but Paris Olympic silver medallist Donna Vekic crashed to her third straight defeat of the season. Russia’s Kasatkina, runner-up at the last two editions of the Australian Open warm-up event, broke Australia’s Olivia Gadecki five times to advance 6-2, 6-3. She will next face last year’s Australian Open and Wimbledon junior runner-up Emerson Jones, a wildcard entry who scored an impressive 6-4, 6-0 win over China’s Wang Xinyu. | Photo Credit: AP Croatia’s Vekic, a Wimbledon semifinalist last year, saw her Australian Open build-up go from bad to worse with a 6-2, 6-3 defeat to Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva.
