Jang Soo-ju (162nd in the world, Daegu City Hall) defeated 2020 Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin (30th, USA). Baek Da-yeon (No. 569-NH Nonghyup Bank) also caused an upset, knocking off second-seeded Jelena Ostapenko (No. 13-Latvia).
Jang Soo-jung defeated Kenin 2-0 (6:1/6:4) in the first round (Round of 32) of the singles main draw at the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour Korea Open ($259,303) on Tuesday at the Olympic Park Tennis Courts in Songpa-gu, Seoul. Kenin was once ranked as high as No. 4 in the world, winning the 2020 Australian Open and finishing runner-up at the French Open.
"I'm happy to have beaten a difficult opponent," Chang said after the match, "I tried not to give him the type of ball he likes, so he had a hard time timing it and made a lot of mistakes."
"I wanted to play a lot of Asian tournaments, but I had visa problems and had to take a month off, so I was disappointed that I had to dedicate myself more to this tournament, and I think that helped me win today," he said. 온라인카지노
