SAN DIEGO — Katie Volynets of Walnut Creek rallied to beat 17-year-old qualifier Clerive Ngounoue 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 in the first round of the Cymbiotika San Diego Open on Monday night at the Barnes Tennis Center.
“I thought coming in here that I would have the edge, having won it when I was 17,” said Volynets. “I know she plays well here, so I’m happy I was able to get through.” Earlier Monday, following a 2-hour, 15-minute rain delay that halted play at 3-3 in the third set, Russia’s Anastasia Potapova recorded a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 win over Alycia Parks of the United States.
First-round matches continue on Tuesday as last year’s semifinalist Danielle Collins is scheduled to face fellow American Louisa Chirico, a qualifier from Harrison, New York.
