CoCo narrowly grasped the first set after a tight tiebreaker, proceeding to take the second with slightly less trouble. The New York native fired off 15 aces to close the match at 7-6(5), 6-4.
Belinda Bencic (EZONE Ai 100, POLYTOUR HS 125) secured a win over Germany’s Anna-Lena Friedsam. The first two sets proved tight, with both players taking one set each, but Belinda came through with overwhelming strength in the decider. The up-and-coming Swiss didn’t allow her serve to be broken even once in the final set, while grabbing three breaks of her own to record a 7-5, 4-6, 6-0 victory.
