Haddad Maia Eases Past Ruse
It did not take Haddad Maia too long to get past Elena Gabriela Ruse in the second round at Rome as she registered her maiden win of her career in this tournament.
Haddad Maia was on court for an hour and 29 minutes as she got through to the third round, winning 6-2, 6-3.
After getting a first round bye, Haddad Maia rode into the next stage by breaking Ruse twice in the opening set and then two more times in the second set. The only time the Brazilian player faced some resistance from her 152nd-ranked opponent when she dropped her serve while going for a 4-1 lead in the second.
This follows a second round defeat for Haddad Maia at the Madrid Open at the hands of Mirra Andreeva. Can she now take another step forward?

Linette Makes it Opening Win for the Third Time on Clay
While clay isn’t Linette’s most preferred surface by any stretch she has managed to find a way to win her opening round fixture in each of the three clay court competitions she has played in this season.
It started off at the Charleston Open where she scraped past Varvara Gracheva before losing to Madison Keys. Linette then needed three sets against Marketa Vondrousova at the Madrid Open before Andreeva would go on to crush her hopes there too.
And here in Rome, Linette was a straight-set winner over Linda Noskova in the second round following an opening bye.
Linette did need nearly an hour and a half and was broken once in the opening set before registering a 7-6 (4), 6-1 victory against Noskova.
It remains to be seen whether she can break that second round defeat hoodoo and move past her Brazilian opponent here.
