Both the players held their service in the next two games and the score was 4-1 in the favour of Navarro at the end of the fifth game.

The Spaniard got the second breakthrough in the sixth game and she had to hold her serve in the next game to seal the opening set. But, she missed the opportunity. Her service was broken in the 7th game. However, that lost opportunity didn’t cost Navarro much and she wrapped up the set by holding her service in the ninth game.

Navarro played with aggression in the second set as well. Kvitova’s service was broken twice in the second set and the Czech player lost the second set by 2-6.

Both the players held their service in the remaining games and the set went into the tie breaker. Hercog matched Kvitova shot by shot in the tie breaker as well. But, she lost a few points towards the end and Kvitova managed to grab the first set. In the second set, there was a considerable deterioration in Hercog’s performance.
