Anastasia Potapova with a smooth 6-3, 6-1 victory to reach the second round of the Madrid Open.

Había dudas lógicas acerca del rendimiento que podía ofrecer en su vuelta a las pistas mes y medio después de jugar su último partido, el que perdió en la segunda ronda de Indian Wells ante la estadounidense Alison Riske. Fue el 12 de marzo. Después, renunció a competir en Miami alegando molestias en el hombro izquierdo. Pero lo cierto es que la española superó su primer compromiso en el, un torneo que se le da mal (sólo ha logrado seis victorias en ocho participaciones y no ha pasado de octavos), con solvencia y buenas sensaciones ante Ajla Tomljanovic: 7-5 y 6-2 en 1h36. Así sumó su victoria 300 en torneos WTA, una cifra considerable en diez años como profesional, y el domingo se enfrentará a la ucraniana Anhilina Kalinina, quien ha vencido a la estadounidense Sloane Stephens por 7-5 y 6-4.

Alison Riske came out on top of the second-longest tiebreak in Billie Jean King Cup history on Friday, edging Dayana Yastremska 7-6 (18/16), 7-5 as the United States took a 2-0 lead on Ukraine. Riske needed eight set points in the tiebreaker while Yastremska battled back from 5-1 down and had four set points herself before the American pulled off the epic decider in the opening rubber of the tie in Asheville, North Carolina. "It was so bizarre and amazing at the same time," said Riske. Yastremska added: "I was laughing inside and, same time, I wanted to cry. I didn't know when it's going to finish. It was so unpredictable both ways." It was already an emotional week in Asheville, where the US team did all they could to make the Ukrainians -- worried about family and friends at home amid the ongoing Russian invasion -- feel welcome.
Aryna Sabalenka tasted victory on the WTA Tour for the first time since February as she defeated Alison Riske in the second round of the Charleston Open.
