Kazakh tennis player Aruzhan Sagindikova in the first round of the junior US Open lost to the third seeded competition – Liv Khovde. In the match that lasted almost an hour, it ended with a score of 6:1, 6:3, Kazinform reports with reference to the press service of the Tennis Federation of Kazakhstan.
