While at the beginning of March in Dubai Plíšková succeeded against Sevastová only after a three hundred match, this time she managed the match better. In the first set, she gained five gamma from 1: 2. In the second set, she led 4: 1, then she had a problem with her own service, at 5: 2 she did not deliver the match, but she ended the duel while servicing her opponent. She turned the second sword.
Subsequently, the two-time Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitová entered the courts and knew that if she won over the Russian qualifier Věra Zvonareva, a derby with Karolína Plíšková would be waiting for her. But it won’t happen to him.
