Hungarian Open: Eighth seed Schmiedlova through to round of 16

Slovak Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, the No 8 seed, advanced to the round of 16 of the Hungarian Open by winning against Russian Polina Kudermetova 6-2, 6-0 at Római Tennis Academy in Budapest on Monday.

Schmiedlova, ranked No 83, will play the winner of the match between Greek lucky loser Valentini Grammatikopoulou and German Tamara Korpatsch next.

With a heavily strapped shoulder, Polina Kudermetova falls 2-6, 0-6 to Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in the first round of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Struggled on serve, likely due to her shoulder, as she was unable to play her best tennis today.
