Tinjić opened the tournament in China with a victory

With a score of 2:1 in sets (6:7, 6:3, 6:4), Jasmina Tinjić opened the tournament in Quanzhou, China, which is played for a prize fund of $50,000. Our top tennis player defeated the home player Ran Tian, who is 818th on the WTA list, after a great fight and losing the first set.

According to Jasmina, a bigger opponent than the Chinese woman was the somewhat worse court, as well as the time zone change, i.e., the adaptation process.

- Now that I have adapted a little to the zone change, I believe I will be more confident in the upcoming matches. The weather conditions for playing were not ideal. There was a strong wind, but I managed to come back in the match, despite losing the first set. I believe I will play much better in the 2nd round, and the goal remains the same - at least the semi-finals - says Tinjić, who will play her next match on Wednesday morning.
