49-ranked Rebecca Peterson has struggled with a troubled drive in recent times and has not been able to perform any better results since the WTA Tour resumed play in August.

Tonight she lost to the same age Yulia Putintseva in two straight sets of the gravel tournament in Rome.

After losing the first set by 2-6, she was in the second set until 3-3.

Then Peterson lost his own serve and the following two commoners.

With the loss, the Swede has a victory in the five matches she played after the restart and has not won a single set. She won the winning match because her opponent in the tournament in Istanbul, Margarita Gasparyan, had to break the match.
