Maja Chwalińska lost to Dayana Jastremska in the first round of the tournament in Beijing

Maja Chwalińska, seeded number 17, had the so-called free fate. In her first match, Dajana Jastremska eliminated American Caty McNally 6:3, 6:4.

Only the beginning was even

The Pole, ranked 21st in her career, the highest in the world ranking, fought evenly with the Ukrainian in the first four games, during which time both players recorded one break each.

From that moment, Jastremska, 111th on the WTA list, won the next three games, and although Chwalińska saved two set points on her serve, held them and extended the game, the Ukrainian tennis player managed to close it a moment later on her serve.

The second part was dominated by the lower ranked player, the Pole was only able to hold the serve once.
