Score, report, and key facts

1st set.

Riske had a strong start of this set after breaking Zhu in the 2nd game (2-0) before consolidating her break and lead 4-0. Yet, there was more work to do for the American to win the set since Zhu found the way to break back in the 5th (1-4) game.

It is worth noting that a pivotal stage of the match was when Riske won 4 consecutive games in the 1st set to change the scoreline from 0-0 to 4-0.

2nd set.

The American won the set after she broke the Chinese 3 times in the 3rd (2-1), in the 5th (4-1) and in the 7th (6-1) game. That break was sufficient for Alison to conquer the set as she didn’t concede her serve during the rest of the set.
