The 2nd-seeded Russian tennis player Veronika Kudermetova easily overcame the first round of the WTA 250 Jasmin Open Monastir in Tunisia, after defeating her Russian compatriot Varvara Gracheva by 2-0 (6:1, 6:0) in just 54 minutes.
Veronika Kudermetova had one of the easiest matches of her career, recording six breaks and only once saving a break point. Varvara Gracheva, on the other hand, won only one game in the entire match and made too many mistakes.
