Tagger L. defeated Snigur D. in straight sets, capitalising on a commanding serve performance. The winner fired seven aces and converted two break points, while Snigur’s seven double faults undermined her own service games.
The first set hinged on a late surge: Snigur broke early at 2-0, but Tagger broke back at 5-4 to force a tiebreak, which she edged. In the second set, Tagger broke at 1-3 and never looked back, sealing a 6-2 win.
Tagger’s first-serve dominance was decisive – she won 75% of points behind her first serve (30/40). Snigur, by contrast, won only 62% (28/45) and could not sustain pressure from the baseline.
