Townsend Builds Momentum After Tight Guadalajara Opener

Taylor Townsend kicked off her campaign with a tight three-set win over Tatjana Maria in the first round, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2. She lost her serve twice and broke her opponent six times during the match.

She has played 12 events this year and registered multiple wins only four times. Three of those performances came in North America, including her second-week appearance at the US Open last week. She looks to extend that trend this week.

Three years ago, she won two matches here when the tournament was a WTA 1000-level event but missed her chance to reach the quarterfinals. She is now looking to achieve that this week. Her only previous quarterfinal appearance this year came in Austin earlier this year.
