Minnen didn’t want to give any chance to the opposition at the beginning of the set after breaking Magdalena Frech in the 2nd game (2-0) before consolidating her break and lead 4-0. Yet, the set was not over yet and there was more work to do for Greetje to win the set as the Pole managed to break back in the 5th (1-4) and in the 7th (3-4) game. Greetje maintained her cool to break Magdalena in the 12th (7-5) game.

Certainly, a key moment was when the Belgian won 4 consecutive games in the 2nd set to change the score from 0-0 to 4-0. Nonetheless also Frech won 4 consecutive games from 0-4 to 4-4

Minnen was spot on in converting all her break points in the 2nd (1-0 40-A), the 4th (3-0 30-40) and the 12th game (6-5 30-40). On the other side, Frech converted 33% of her break points (2/6). She had her opportunities in the 5th (0-4 30-40 and 40-A), the 7th (2-4 15-40 and 30-40) and the 11th game (5-5 40-A and 40-A).

They played 75 points. Minnen was the one to win the set after conquering 7 more points than the Pole (41-34). The Belgian surrendered 15 points on serve (24-15). On the losing side, Frech conceded 17 points on serve (19-17).
