Marketa, that started in the 1st round and beat Kaia Kanepi 2-1 sets had no mercy in the 1st set against Bianca Vanessa, that had a bye in the first round and blanked her 6-0.
The Czech tennis player continued with the same tempo in the 2nd set, giving her Canadian opponent only 1 game and closing the match at the Rome Masters 6-1 in the second set.
That was the 1st clash between Vondrousova and Andreescu, and both will remember it for a long time for different reasons.
Vondrousova will face Maria Sakkari in the 3rd round in the clay tournament in the Italian capital.
