At Istanbul she has already had two victories. In the first round she defeated Bernarda Pera of the United States and in the second she got the better of Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi.

Bogdan beat the Japanese Nao Hibino 6-3 6-3 in the first round, before defeating Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic in the second round. She beat Krejcikova in straight sets 6-3 6-3.
