World No. 55 Alison Van Uytvanck began her Lyon campaign in emphatic style, racing past Russia’s Vera Zvonareva in just an hour.
The 27-year-old Belgian bageled the former World no. 2 in the first set, but faced some resistance from the 37-year-old in the second. Van Uytvanck took a 2-0 lead in the second set, but got broken in the third game only to break back in the next to restore the advantage. She protected the lead till the end of the set to win the match 6-0, 6-3.
The Belgian, who was a semifinalist in her only other appearance in Lyon in 2020, improved her season record to 4-5, including qualifiers. She began the season with a first round defeat in Melbourne and then failed to qualify for the main draw in Adelaide. She won her first round match at the Australian Open but lost in the second, before making a first round exit from St. Petersburg.
Last week as well, she had beaten Zvonareva in the first round in Doha, but had lost in the second against Jil Teichmann.
A five-time winner on the tour, Van Uytvanck had picked her only tour-level title of 2021 in Nur Sultan. She is yet to win consecutive matches in 2022, but she may achieve it on Wednesday.
