Jimmie48 is delivering another wonderful set of photos from the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. My favorites in today’s gallery are doubles photos, especially the black-and-white ones of Elina Svitolina and Dayana Yastremska. Let’s do a little recap of Tuesday’s first-round matches and then enjoy the photos in the end.
The biggest upset today was pulled off by Katerina Siniakova, as the Czech recorded her first-ever victory against three-time major champion Angelique Kerber in just 69 minutes, 6-3 6-1.
Ninth seed Garbine Muguruza triumphed in an encounter of two Grand Slam winners, beating Sloane Stephens 6-3 6-3, the player who had defeated her in their sole meeting on clay last year at Roland Garros.
