Carla's exercise of authority before Venus Williams in Canada - The Province

The Gran Canaria tennis player Carla Suárez Navarro debuted this afternoon with a victory in the Toronto (Canada) tournament, Premier category 5 for the WTA, after winning the American Venus Williams in two sleeves (6-4, 6-2), and Estonian Anett Kontaveit will face in the second round. The island, which yesterday rose to number 26 of the WTA ranking and ahead of Garbiñe Muguruza, needed an hour and 18 minutes to break the older of the Williams sisters. After wasting three breaking balls, he finally managed to break his rival's service in the fourth, in the seventh game of the first set.

In that first set, the island only had to defend against a 'break' ball, and had up to five chances to take the sleeve, which finally fell in her favor after three quarters of an hour.. All this gave way to an erratic second partial, where five breaks were exchanged in the first games. Suarez had to win his serve in the sixth game and then break that of the American to win.
