Swiss ninth seed Belinda Bencic makes a strong start to her claycourt season with a 6-3 6-0 win over qualifier Destanee Aiava to reach the second round of the Charleston Open in South Carolina
Mar 12, 2019; Indian Wells, CA, USA; Belinda Bencic celebrates after defeating Naomi Osaka in her fourth round in the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Aiava did well to fight off one match point but then double-faulted the next time the match was on the line to hand Bencic victory in 56 minutes. Former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, a runner-up here in 2017, dropped the opening game of her match but quickly righted the ship and dominated the rest of the way in a 6-1 6-4 win over Swede Johanna Larsson.
She will next face American Shelby Rogers, who was a 6-4 6-2 winner over Russia's Evgeniya Rodina in her first match back after being sidelined for more than a year by a knee injury.
