 | Kuznetsova left the tournament in Auckland2-01-2013 |
The former world number two Svetlana Kuznetsova fell in the first round of the tennis tournament in Auckland, New Zealand, having retreated with 7:6 (6), 2:6, 5:7 of the unseeded Dutch Kiki Bertens.
The strong winds on the center court at the tennis center in Auckland gave a result in nearly 100 unforced errors, but Bertens who is 63 in the world, psychologically withheld and won the victory. Kuznetsova tried to slow her opponent with prolonged medical intervention after the second set, but this does not affect the development of the game and the Russian player left the tournament.
