Andreescu Makes it Three Opening Wins in a Row
For the third tournament in a row this season, Andreescu won her first round encounter. The question now is whether she can, for the first time in 2023, make it successive wins in a row.
Andreescu, who had defeated Garbine Muguruza in Adelaide and Marie Bouzkova at the Australian Open, did not have a lot of issues in her opener here against Harriet Dart. She won 6-3, 6-4 in an hour and 24 minutes.
There were serving issues for Andreescu though. In the first set, she was broken once as Dart came back to level things out at 3-3 before the Canadian broke her opponent two more times to pocket the set.
In the second set, Andreescu raced off to two breaks of serves to reach 5-1 but then lost her serve two times to allow Dart to come back. Thankfully for Andreescu, she was able to get past Dart’s serve and carve out a second round berth.
Does a second successive win await Andreescu?

Zakharova Trying to Replicate Doubles Success in Singles
She is just 21 years of age but Zakharova has already made it through to two doubles finals at the highest level. They had come in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
Her singles success has been relatively lesser and restricted to the ITF circuit where she has won nine titles between 2019 and 2022 – a solid record that had helped her climb up to 156th in the world. A poor finish to the previous season and an under-par start this year has pulled her down to 186th on the charts.
Which is why her maiden WTA victory that came in the first round here against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova would have been a pleasant surprise.
Zakharova had entered the match as a 8/5 favourite to win it and did so from being a set down. In a match that lasted over three hours, Zakharova claimed her second round spot with a 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 win after preventing her opponent from serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set.
Can she now take the fight to the former US Open winner?
