RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – Carla Suárez Navarro got off to a winning start at the 2016 Olympic tennis event in Rio after dodging an early upset bid from Ana Ivanovic to advance 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.

The No.9 seeded Spaniard looked to be in trouble from the start as an on-fire Ivanovic broke her serve in the opening game, then once more for a 4-1 lead. Despite her recurring issues with her serve – namely her ball toss – Ivanovic was able to hold on and grabbed the opening set.

Suárez Navarro found her rhythm in the second and, aided by two Ivanovic double faults in the same game, was able to get her first break of the match and back it up for a 3-0 lead. Three more double faults from the Serbian gave Suárez Navarro the edge again to break to love and even up the scoreboard.

Now down 0-4 in the third, Ivanovic finally snapped Suárez Navarro’s seven-game streak to get herself on the board, but it wasn’t enough to turn around the match. The Spaniard cruised to the second round after an hour and 35 minutes.

Up next for Suárez Navarro is Croatia’s Ana Konjuh. The youngest tennis Olympian competing in the Games this year, 18-year-old Konjuh made her way to the second round by defeating Germany’s Annika Beck 7-6(5), 6-1.

Meanwhile, Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska suffered the biggest upset of the day at the hands of China’s Zheng Saisai. Zheng abruptly ended the No.4 seed’s Olympic campaign after a 6-4, 7-5 win at Barra Olympic Park.

Also through to the second round are Madison Keys, who earlier in the day notched the first win of the Olympic tennis event with her 6-3, 6-3 defeat of Danka Kovinic; Sara Errani, who turned around a first set deficit to battle past Kiki Bertens 4-6, 6-4, 6-3; Barbora Strycova, who defeated Yanina Wickmayer 7-6(6), 6-1; and Kristina Mladenovic, who overcame Aleksandra Krunic 6-1, 6-4.
