Top seed, Maria Sakkari of Greece, rallied from a set down to beat Ukrainian qualifier, Katerina Baindl, in three sets in the opening round of the Parma Open tennis tournament in Italy.

It was Sakkari’s first event since her shock second-round loss to China’s Wang Xiyu at the US Open in New York in August.

Meanwhile, former world number 3 Dominic Thiem of Austria, also survived a first-round scare at the Tel Aviv Open in Israel.
