Kaia Kanepi beat Israel's Shahar Peer 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of the Rogers Cup tennis tournament in Montreal on August 16.

Kanepi, whose Women's Tennis Association (WTA) ranking is 34 against Peer's 18, had lost three previous WTA level matches against the Israeli player. She hit four aces over Peer's two, with seven double faults against Peer's five. 

In Wednesday's round, Kanepi meets Sybille Bammer of Austria (WTA 90) who rather unexpectedly beat Romania's Alexandra Dulgheru (WTA 29) 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
