1^st set.

Hercog won the set after she broke Peterson in the 3^rd (2-1) and in the 9^th (6-3) game. That was sufficient for Hercog to conquer the set because she didn’t drop her serve in the rest of the set.

2^nd set.

Hercog started off on the right foot in the set after breaking Peterson in the 2^nd game (2-0) before consolidating her break and lead 5-0. Yet, that was not enough for the Slovenian to win the set since Peterson succeeded in breaking back in the 7^th (2-5) game.
