Second player from Azerbaijan also defeated in "Baku Cup 2014"
Baku, July 22 (AZERTAC). Nazrin Jafarova says good-bye to the tournament.
No 62 seed of the world, 21-year-old Jana Cepelova faced 16-year-old Nazrin Jafarova from Azerbaijan in the Centre Court of the Baku Tennis Academy.
Nazrin Jafarova, who participates in the tournament upon the wild card similarly to the last year, could not seriously resist her strong rival.
Nazrin won only one service in the first set, but that was not enough to win the set and she lost it 1-6. Cepelova did not leave any chance for Nazrin in the second set and won 6-0, thus making the overall score 2-0.
The next opponent of Cepelova who therefore is in the 1/8 final will be Pualine Parmentier from France.
We mention that another representative of Azerbaijan Zuleykha Safarova was defeated during the qualifying games on the first day of the tournament by Aleksandra Sasnovic of Belarus 0-2 (2-6, 1-6).
