Kaia lost 2:6, 6:2, 2:6. The match was played in very hot conditions; the temperature during the match was over +40C.
Kaia's own words: "I did not find any rhythm in the first set. In the second set I played well and she made more mistakes. The third set started very competitively. It is a pity that I lost the first game. I was leading 40:15 and she got two points from the net cord. She got more into the match and I could not destroy her game as well as I did in the second set. I made mistakes while attacking and so it went. I think I have not played in such a hot weather before. Luckily there were not many long rallies.”
Tomorrow Kaia will play her first round doubles match.
Next tournament will be Fed Cup in Estonia in 5 – 8 of February.
