Lee C. beat Emiliana Arango 7-6, 7-5 in Barranquilla, closing out both sets from the front despite being second best in the available return numbers. The decisive moment came at 5-6 in the second set, when Lee broke to seal the match.
The opening set was a run of early breaks: Arango broke in the first game for 1-0, Lee hit back immediately at 1-1, Arango broke again at 2-1, and Lee levelled it once more at 3-3 before the set went to a tiebreak. The second set stayed on serve until the closing stretch, where Arango broke at 5-5 only for Lee to break straight back at 5-6 and take the set 7-5.
The recorded stats favour Arango, who converted two break points to Lee's one and won eight receiver points to Lee's four. Lee saved one of three break points faced and put 7 of 10 first serves in, and it was her ability to break back immediately, twice in the first set and once at the very end, that decided the match.
