The Hyderabad girl, however, had little difficulty in winning the next two sets, though she dropped her serve twice and broke Fichman thrice in the second set.

There was no stopping Sania once she pulled off the decisive break in the fifth game of the decider. A dispirited Fichman threw in the towel losing her next service game also.

Dubois dropped the second set against Washington but was in control of the third set just as she was in the first set.
