Canadian Rebecca Marino, who qualified over the weekend, ook on No. 1 seed Jelena Ostapenko in Birmingham.
And in a nausea-inducing roller-coaster ride, Otapenko prevailed in three sets and moved onto round two.
The Latvian was super humble about it all.

Bianca Andreescu also was in action – in doubles, with Sabine Lisicki.
It was only the second time Andreescu has played doubles since losing in the first round of the 2019 US Open with countrywoman Sharon Fichman. She played Eastbourne doubles a year ago with Yulia Putintseva.
And the two pulled off a win against a very good Chinese team.
