Gauff Routs Pera
A quarterfinalist at the French Open, Gauff would have liked to start things off in the grass swing with a solid performance. A second round loss at the Berlin Open, however, looked to have forced her to play here in Eastbourne in the lead-up to Wimbledon.
And the precocious talent did well to start things off in this tournament with a consummate victory.
Gauff defeated Bernarda Pera 6-3, 6-2 in a match that lasted a mere hour and three minutes. At no point did Gauff look like she had lost control with the American facing no break-point in the entire match. In turn she also got the better of Pera’s serve on three occasions.
The world number seven dropped a mere seven first serve points and just a further four more on the second serve to ensure there was no way that Pera could find a way into the contest. Especially not after she had lost her serve in the eighth game of the match.
Gauff will back herself greatly for a repeat of this showing.

Burrage Sends Davis Out
Burrage had surprised a few by making it to the final of the Nottingham Open two weeks ago where her dream run was finally ended by fellow British player Katie Boulter. Two days later, Burrage fell to another Briton, Harriet Dart, losing her first round match at the WTA Birmingham.
Interestingly, Burrage did not get a wildcard for this event and needed to come through the qualifiers to make the main draw.
A win over Kamilla Rakhimova was a bit of a surprise but she fell in the second qualifier to Jasmine Paolini. Fortunately for her, the withdrawal of a couple of players allowed her an entry into the first round where she took on Lauren Davis.
In a match lasting two hours and three minutes, Burrage overcame a first set loss to defeat Davis and make the second round. She won 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in their opener.
Can she now make it to the quarterfinals for the second time in three weeks?
