Rebecca Marino and Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva are scheduled to face each other in the first round of the 2022 WTA Korea Open September 21.
When Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva lost to Lulu Sun in the qualifying round, she was leaving Seoul. She took full advantage of the fortunate loser entrance and beat Chloe Paquet 6-2, 6-2 for her first WTA main draw victory. She also saved one break point while earning 81% of her first-serve points. Only a few weeks have passed since the 17-year-old waved goodbye to her successful junior career. Her burgeoning professional career has so far produced a W25 title in Brazil in November, sandwiched by W60 finals in Spain and Australia. She won the 2020 Australian Open girls’ title at the age of 14.
In a 65-minute first round, Rebecca Marino defeated Jana Fett with 6-1, 6-2 thanks to a faultless serving display. She saved both breakpoints, blasted seven aces, and won 18 of 20 first-serve points. With three quarterfinal appearances in the previous eight weeks, the Canadian appears to be in a good mood. Before the month of August, the 31-year-old has only reached four quarterfinals in her career. Following her last-eight finishes in Chennai, Granby, and Washington D.C., that number is currently at seven. With a third round finish at the US Open, she has also solidified her return to the top 100 rankings after a decade.
Rebecca Marino and Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva are scheduled to face each other in the first round of the 2022 WTA Korea Open on Wednesday, September 21. The tournament is scheduled to begin on September 19 and end on September 25.
