The second set has been more balanced, but Sorana managed to win after saving several breaks: another 6-4 scored in 42 minutes. This is the best performance in the 19 year old Romanian tennis player, continuing the good evolution she demonstrated in Roland Garros. The two players have never played against each other before.

Unfortunately for Romania’s tennis team, Raluca Olaru was eliminated from the competition by Victoria Azarenka, score 6-0, 6-0

For the last Grand Slam tour, she qualified in the quarter finals.
