Fiona Ferro beat Dalma Galfi 6-1, 2-6, 6-0 at the WTA 125K in Montreux, taking control on return in the sets that mattered. Ferro converted three break points in the opener and broke three more times in the decider, while Galfi's serve leaked three double faults across the match.
Ferro broke immediately in the first set at 0-1 and again at 0-3 before closing it out with another break at 1-6. Galfi answered by breaking at the start of the second at 1-0 and again at 4-1 to level the match, but the decider was one-way traffic: Ferro broke at 0-2, 0-4 and 0-6 to run away with it.
The telling number is on serve under pressure: Galfi saved five of eight break points but still lost her serve three times in the opening set, while Ferro faced only two break points all match and saved neither. Ferro also won 21 receiver points to Galfi's 14 and never hit a double fault, going 11/11 on second serves.
