Acapulco, Guerrero, February 26, 2018.- Lesia Tsurenko started with the right foot defending her title at Abierto Mexicano Telcel, presented by HSBC.

The Ukrainian, seventh seed, eliminated the American Lauren Davis in two sets, 6-4 and 6-1 in 77 minutes of play. Lesia is looking for her fourth title. Her most recent title was the one that won here a year ago.

Tsurenko was effective with her first service, which allowed her to handle the match, coupled with Davis’s unnefective first service.

Lesia will face Arina Rodionova, who advanced by the retirement of Kateryna Kozlova. Rodionova won 6-1 and 1-0.
