NOTTINGHAM, Great Britain – No.3 seed Caroline Wozniacki was forced to skip the clay court season due to a right ankle injury, but enjoyed a winning return just as the grass court season began at the Aegon Open Nottingham, dispatching Cagla Buyukakcay, 7-5, 6-3, in the first round.
Buyukakcay made her share of history in Wozniacki’s absence, becoming the first Turkish woman to win a WTA title at her home tournament of Istanbul, debut inside the Top 100, and win a Grand Slam main draw match at the French Open. Twice falling behind a break of serve, she broke straight back each time, including when Wozniacki first attempted to serve for the opening set.
The former No.1 made no mistake on her second attempt, however, holding to love to edge ahead after 52 minutes. Racing out to a 5-1 lead, the Dane appeared to have the match under control when Buyukakcay made one last surge, reducing the deficit to just one break. Returning for a spot in the second round, Wozniacki broke serve one last time behind a fearsome volley to book a meeting with Anett Kontaveit, who upended American Lauren Davis, 6-3, 6-1, on Monday.
