Putintseva Rallies Past Volodko
2021 champion Yulia Putintseva rallied from a set down to beat Ukraine’s Kateryna Volodko in the first round of the Hungarian Open on Tuesday.
The world no. 60 has a fantastic record in Budapest and Tuesday’s win improved her to 9-1 in the Hungarian capital. She had won the title in 2021 by beating Anhelina Kalinina in the final and finished as a semifinalist last year.
In this year’s tournament, Putintseva got off to a slow start as Volodko broke her thrice in the opening set to take a one-set-to-love lead. But the Kazakh turned the tables on the world no. 295 by breaking her thrice in the second set and then raced to victory in the final set by breaking her opponent four more times in the match.
In all, Putintseva was broken five times in the match, while she converted half of 14 break points to win the one hour and 55 minute contest 1-6, 6-2, 6-1.
Putintseva, who was a semifinalist at the WTA 125 in Bastad last week, is 19-17 across levels this year and 11-6 on clay. She will be looking to reach her third WTA quarterfinal of the season on Wednesday, after her last eight finishes in Hobart and Rabat.

Liu Gets Revenge Over Chirico
Four days after being beaten by Louisa Chirico in the WTA 125 in Bastad, Claire Liu got her revenge against her compatriot in the first round of the Budapest Open.
While Chirico had won in three sets on Thursday, Liu needed just two sets to beat Chirico on Monday.
The world no. 88 got an early break in the first set and then held on to the advantage to take the opening set. In the second, Liu broke early once again, but Chirico broke back to level the set at 3-3, but a late break in the set for Liu proved to be decisive as she beat the qualifier 6-4, 6-4.
With the win, Liu is now 15-19 across levels in 2023 and she is 5-7 on clay.
She is yet to reach a tour level quarterfinal this year. Her only quarterfinal appearance of the season came in WTA 125 in Bastad last week. Can she upset the fourth seed?
