1^st set.

The Spaniard clinched the set after recovering from 1 break down. In fact, after dropping her serve in the 6^th (2-4) game, Muguruza broke back in the 9^th (4-5) game before winning the set at the following breaker at 5.

2^nd set.

The American won the set after she broke Garbine in the 7^th (4-3) and in the 9^th (6-3) game. That break resulted decisive for Jennifer to conquer the set since she didn’t drop her serve in the rest of the set.

Muguruza was powerless in the last 4 games of the set (from 2-3 to 6-3).

The set was even with both players refusing to concede anything to the opposition. Eventually, the only discrepancy was one break that Jennifer conquered in the 10^th game (6-4).
