CINCINNATI, Ohio: Australian Daria Gavrilova shook off an uncertain second set to defeat France’s Kristina Mladenovic 6-0, 7-6(6) on Monday at the Cincinnati Open.
After cruising through a perfect first set, the 23-year-old Gavrilova needed to save a set point in the competitive second set to hand the 13th-seeded Mladenovic her third straight loss.
“She has a history of great comebacks. She has done it at the French Open almost every match,” Gavrilova said after the match. “She stepped up her game and was playing a bit loser and was not making as many unforced errors because the first set was not a great set from her.”
Gavrilova moved on to face Italian Camila Giorgi in the round of 32 on Tuesday.Earlier in the day big-serving Czech Petra Kvitova battled back to defeat Anett Kontaveit 1-6 7-6(2) 3-6.
