Unfortunately our Grigor Dimitrov failed just at the beggining!

This loss could happen to anyone, but it is not "suitable" for Worlds' top 5 player to act like losing from 117-th ....

Such a pitty!

After the point at 10:26 minutes: "Kutballen, kutbaan, kutballen, kutbaan!"  Translation help: ballen is balls, baan is court, kut is literally speaking, let's say, the part a lady has between her legs (which in Dutch is used as a tiny bit stronger version of 'shit')

It was a retirement, but Kathinka von Deichmann won her first ever WTA main draw match! This is also first WTA MD win in singles for  at least on WTA. Von Deichmann won first set in tiebreak before Siegemund retired in the second. The whole tournament in Lugano turned into huge mess due to persistent rain. First round is yet to be finished so the tournament is moved indoors temporarily. 

Not much better situation in Bogota as well. There was also nice surprise. Talented Emiliana Arango of , born in 2000, beat top 100 and decent player Veronica Cepede Royg in three sets for the first WTA win.
