- Top seed and former champion Sloane Stephens crashed out of the Citi Open in Washington as she suffered a stunning 6-2 7-5 first-round loss to Swede Rebecca Peterson on Tuesday while teenager Cori ‘Coco’ Gauff also fell in straight sets.
Peterson enjoyed a dream start as she raced out to a 5-2 lead and ultimately took the opening set in 29 minutes when Stephens sent a routine backhand from the baseline into the net. That brought an end to a game that had lasted more than 10 minutes and left the youngster visibly frustrated. Keys appeared in control when she went up a break in the first set but Baptiste immediately broke back and managed to outslug the hard-hitting Keys the rest of the way to claim her first career WTA match win.
On the men’s side Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga improved his record against Karen Khachanov to 3-0 after coming out on the winning end of a tight 6-4 2-6 7-5 battle to send the second-seeded Russian packing.
