Kenin commenced this set in the best possible way after breaking Anna Blinkova in the 2nd game (2-0) before consolidating her break and lead 5-0. Notwithstanding, that wasn’t sufficient for Blinkova to win the set as Kenin managed to break back in the 7th (2-5) game.

There was an important spell in this set when the Russian won 4 consecutive games in the 2nd set so as to bring the game count from 0-0 to 5-0.

Blinkova was flawless in converting all her break points in the 1st (0-0 30-40), the 4th (3-0 30-40) and the 8th game (5-2 15-40 and 30-40). On the other side, the American was clinical in converting the only break point that she conquered in the 7th game (1-5 0-40).

They contested 47 points. It’s worth to point out that, Anna won this set even if she scored less points 1 than Kenin (23-24). The Russian lost 7 points on serve (11-7). On the other side, Kenin conceded 12 points on serve (17-12).
