Main draw: results of the second day

Main draw: results of the second day

October 17, 12:00 AM

October 16 was a bad day for the Russians. Only two out of eight local players who participated in R1 matches made it to R2. In the women's event it was Vera Zvonareva, and in the mens' event - Evgeny Donskoy.

The winner of the qualifications Vera Zvonareva scored a confident win against her compatriot Irina Khromacheva who had also reached the main draw coming off the the qualifications (6/3, 6/3). In R2 Vera will play against former world №1 and second seed Karolina Pliskova.

Evgeny Donskoy rallied to beat the representative of Kazakhstan Mikhail Kukushkin. In the tie-breaker of the second set Evgeny saved 5 set-points and converted his second match-point - 6/4, 7/6 (10).

Wild card holder Anna Kalinskaya was not able to put up much resistance to Kristina Mladenovic. The match lasted just over one hour, the French won 6/1, 6/3. The representative of Tunisia Ons Jabeur routed Olympic champion Ekaterina Makarova - 6/1, 6/2.

Some other encounters were close. In the women's event it was the match Alize Cornet vs Natalia Vikhlyantseva. Natalia failed to close out the match, as a result the Russian lost to Alize 5/7, 6/2, 5/7. In the men's draw the most memorable was the match Andrey Rublev vs Nick Kyrgios. Fans supported both of them. The two opponents played aggressively and boldly, but the Russian lacked accuracy on key points and consistency on his serve - Andrey lost 3/6, 6/4, 4/6.

The last clash of the day was the battle between the Russian Vitalia Diatchenko and the Australian Daria Gavrilova. This late night match ended with the score 7/6(5), 7/5 in Daria’s favor.

One should also single out the victory of the Belorussian Egor Gerasimov. He came off the qualifications and managed to beat in R1 the champion of the VTB Kremlin Cup 2017 Damir Jumhur in three sets - 6/1, 6/7 (5), 6/2. To say nothing of “lucky loser” and last year's runner-up Ricardas Berankis, who reached R2 after his opponent Denis Istomin withdrew at the end of the second set.

Here are the other winners of the day: Mirza Basic and Dusan Lajovic, the French Benoit Paire who defeated Mischa Zverev in three sets, the Italian Andreas Seppi, who beat the 8th seed Martin Klizan, and Johanna Konta, who got the better of seventh seed Elise Mertens.
