The opening set was decided by a single break during Bouzková’s first serve, which did not use four breaks immediately. The Czech Republic also entered the second set with a lost pass, but then returned the opponent with the same coin. After another break of Jastremská in the 11th game, Bouzková turned away the swordball, leveled it and won the tie-break 7: 3 thanks to the opponent’s mistakes.

The decisive set was already clearly directed by the 77th world player Bouzková. Jastremská, which is 15 ranks lower, was not helped by the treatment break. At 0: 4, she averted the canary’s threat, but that was all.

Twenty-three-year-old Bouzková, who defeated her fifth compatriot Karolína Plíšková 6: 4, 7: 5 in the first round, will encounter another Russian qualifier, Ekaterina Alexandrovova, in the third round. She lost the only match with the 45th player in the Czech world rankings in three sets seven years ago in qualifying in Prague.
