In the first set, both Bencic and Andreeva served strongly, but it was Bencic who took over the break during the break and claimed his dominance to claim leadership. In the second set, Bencic won the first service match to increase by 5-4, but Andreeva immediately returned to equalize the score and force another break. Again, Bencic increased on this occasion, brought a circuit breaker at the beginning, and never gave up her grip.
