Hanne Vandewinkel overpowered Harmony Tan 6-1, 1-0 in a one-sided contest at the WTA 125K Istanbul 2. The Belgian dominated from the start, breaking Tan three times in the first set and never facing a break point of her own. The match ended after just one game of the second set.
Vandewinkel broke in the opening game (1-0) and again at 3-0, then closed out the set with a third break at 6-1. She converted three of six break chances while Tan managed none from zero opportunities. The second set saw only Vandewinkel's service game, which she held to lead 1-0 before the match was halted.
Vandewinkel's serve was impenetrable: she won 78% of first-serve points (14/18) and saved the only break point she faced, in the second set. Tan hit two aces but could not hold serve, winning just one of four service games. The victory underscores Vandewinkel's aggressive returning, as she won 54% of first-serve return points.
