BEIJING: Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova got off to sizzling start as she beat Ana Bogdan of Romania 6-0, 6-1 in just 53 minutes at the Shenzhen Open Sunday.
“I couldn’t be more happy or more pleased with how I started this season — well, almost, there’s still two days to go,” Pavlyuchenkova said after the match. “It’s always tough to start the season after a long break when we haven’t played matches for a long time.
The world number 42 will next face either Romania’s Irina-Camelia Begu, or a qualifier who has yet to be determined. Maria Sharapova will also be returning to competitive tennis at the Shenzhen Open with her debut game against Switzerland’s Timea Bacsinszky on Monday. The WTA World No.29 was forced to cut her 2018 campaign short in September to recover from a shoulder complaint.
