Elvina Kalieva and Kayla Day: Kayla Day leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Kayla Day ended a two-match losing run in the Guadalajara Open's round of 32, holding off Elvina Kalieva 7-6(9), 6-4 in 2 hours 39 minutes. Her previous win came at the Canadian Open in early August, and Kalieva had lost three in a row since reaching the Memphis Classic semifinals. Two ranking places separated them, Kalieva at WTA No. 115 and Day at No. 117, and the points finished 98-95 in Day's favor. Break points were plentiful and rarely taken: Kalieva earned 14 of them, seven in each set, and converted two, while Day saved 12. Kalieva led the opening set after breaking in game 5 for 3-2, but Day broke back in game 8 for 4-4 and took the tiebreak. In the second, Day broke to open the set, Kalieva pulled level at 4-4 with a break in game 8, and Day broke again in game 9 before serving out the match.
