From a tiebreak to a clear advantage
In the opening set, the players were separated by a tiebreak. Preston won it and took the lead in sets.
The second set played out differently: Parry won just one game. After a tightly contested start to the match, Preston’s advantage became much more pronounced.
In the previous round, Preston defeated Tamara Korpatsch 6-2, 7-6(4). The Australian completed both of her matches at the tournament without dropping a set, and in each she needed a tiebreak.
