Kovinic Shrugs off Australian Open Defeat
After making a strong start to the season in Auckland, Kovinic fell away in three sets in the opening round at the Australian Open, losing to Lauren Davis after pocketing the first set in that encounter.
Which is why, it was important for Kovinic to get back to her winning ways and that is exactly what she did in her opener in Lyon. Kovinic claimed a 6-1, 6-4 victory in an hour and 25 minutes against Viktorija Golubic, a player ranked only 18 spots behind her.
Seeded seventh in the competition, the Auckland Open semifinalist raced through the first set as she won 82% of the first serve points and broke her opponent twice without reply.
In the second, she looked to be repeating the same script with a couple of breaks that took her to a 3-0 lead and while she missed out on serving it out, frittering away four match-points in the eighth game, Kovinic completed the win off her next service game.
Can she now get the better of another player ranked lower than her?

Bondar Stuns Parrizas-Diaz
Nuria Parrizas-Diaz has shown solid recent form and had come into her first round match against Bondar as a 4/6 favourite. Bondar came away an easy winner though, clinching a second round berth in straight sets.
The 72nd-ranked Bondar, who had come into this tournament on the back of just one main draw win this season, registered a 6-4, 6-4 victory over her more fancied opponent. The match lasted an hour and 44 minutes.
Serving up five aces and winning 80% of the first serve points, Bondar saved all of the seven break-points against her. She also earned seven break-points and converted two of them, which turned out to be the difference between the two players.
With that kind of confidence behind her back it would be interesting to see how things go for her in round two of this competition.
