Madrid Open: Vondrousova dispatches Rogers to reach third round

No 7 seed Marketa Vondrousova reached the third round of the Madrid Open by winning against American Shelby Rogers 6-1, 6-3 at the Caja Magica on Friday evening.

Vondrousova, ranked No 7, will play Russian Mirra Andreeva next.

The 2023 Wimbledon champion, also a runner-up at Roland-Garros in 2019, has notched her best Madrid performance to date, and improved to 4-1 on clay this season, after reaching the semi-finals at Stuttgart last week.

She won 24 of 30 first-serve points and broke Roger’s serve five times from eight opportunities to move through in 77 minutes.

In the previous round of the Madrid tournament, Rogers, ranked No 352, defeated Chinese Shuai Zhang (6-3, 6-2).
