Wind proved once again to be a challenge for the players but it was Anisimova who handled it better out of the gates. She broke in the second game of the match at love and cruised to a 6-3 opening set over Navarro. Anisimova\u2019s serve was on fire and the 22-year-old captured 93 per cent of first serve points in the set.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the second, the players traded breaks in the third and fourth games before Navarro settled down and went ahead 4-2. After taking the following game as well, Anisimova called the trainer onto the court for some issues with blisters on her right foot. Navarro then close out the set at 6-2 to even the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
