There was a sensation at the WTA 250 tournament on grass in Nottingham on Tuesday. Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia lost to Ukrainian Daria Snigur and will not defend her title.

Beatriz Haddad Maia (WTA 10) put in a fantastic performance at Roland Garros. In Paris, she reached her first Grand Slam singles semi-final. On Monday, the Brazilian made his Top 10 debut in the rankings. A day later, in Nottingham, she experienced a big disappointment. In the first round, she lost 4:6, 3:6 against Daria Snigur (WTA 157) and will not defend her title.

Haddad Maia converted two of four break points in the match, which lasted an hour and 18 minutes. Snigur converted five of eight break opportunities. This is her second victory over a Top 10 tennis player. In the first round of the 2022 US Open, she knocked out Romanian Simona Halep. The Brazilian’s rival was to be Lesia Tsurenko, who however withdrew and another Ukrainian entered the game.

Two games ended on Tuesday, which were suspended on Monday due to rain. Camila Giorgi (WTA 47) defeated Madison Brengle (WTA 113) 7-6(5), 6-2. In the first set, the Italian led 5-0, to lose five games in a row. She took control of the situation and was ahead in the tiebreaker. The second batch was definitely his. Elizabeth Mandlik (WTA 110) defeated Wiktoria Tomowa (WTA 79) 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(5) after one hour and 59 minutes. In the third set, the American came back from 2-4, then from 0-2 in a tie-break.

Alize Cornet (WTA 72) defeated Katie Swan (WTA 134) 2-6, 6-1, 6-4. In the match, which lasted two hours and five minutes, the Frenchwoman had three break points and used them all.

Jodie Burrage (WTA 131) won 7-6(5), 3-6, 7-6(4) over Tereza Martincova (WTA 121). The Briton served six aces and committed 12 double faults. She saved 12 of her 15 break points and took only one of her six break points. She scored 11 points less than the Czech (123-134), but it was the hosts’ representative who qualified for the second round. Burrage will be another rival of Magda Linette.
