Jana Nejedly of Canada won yesterday’s only other match with a 6-2 6-0 romp past Li Fang of China. Sugiyama, ranked 39th, got off to a fast start, but eventually wilted against the big-serving Kandarr. Sugiyama had three service breaks in the first set and won six straight games for the 6-1 victory. But the 85th-ranked Kandarr used seven aces and two service breaks to take the second set 7-5. Both players broke serve to begin the third set, but Kandarr broke Sugiyama again in the 11th game to take a 6-5 lead. She wrapped up the two-hour, 11-minute match with her ninth ace of the day.
