Score, report, and key facts

1^st set.

Konta won the set after she broke Kim in the 7^th (4-3) and in the 9^th (6-3) game. That break was enough for the Brit to win the set because she didn’t concede her serve in the rest of the set.

The Belgian had no answers in the last 4 games of the set (from 2-3 to 6-3).

2^nd set.

Johanna served very well to win 80% of the points (36/45) behind her first serve, and she won 67% points (6/9) on her second serve.
