The Return of the Mash keeps on trucking, with an easy 62 60 win over Darya Kustova. No word on whether Darya was hampered by her Doc Martens and general misanthropy.
Nice to see Masha get a quick and easy win. Let's not rack up the miles on that shoulder, kid. She'll get her first real test against A-Bond tomorrow.
Unfortunately Jay Z got bageled by Zakopalova and Sara Errani was ousted by a Romanian qualifier. I guess she didn't get the memo that Balkan Girls like to party like nobody like nobody. Tough luck.
But in happy news, Dani win over U-Rad in straights and AKO battled for a three set win over Jill Craybas.
