Lesia Tsurenko had an excellent Friday, finishing off a second-round victory over Aleksandra Krunic 11-9 in the deciding set. Her Thursday, when the match began, was not so positive, with the Ukrainian experiencing a birthday-related crisis. "I think the main mental problem yesterday was that I had a birthday, and I'm now 30, and I had so many things in my head that I would say it was one of the worst days of my life," said Tsurenko.
