Blinkova won the next two matches, but the momentum again turned in Sobolenko’s favor as she won the next three matches to claim the set. The Belarusian gave the service and lost 1:2 in the second set, but in the next four matches she showed a high level of tennis, led 5:2 and quickly won the match – 6:2, 6:3.
Meanwhile, Alexandrova knocked out Emma Navarro and Madison Brengle to reach the third round where she faced Dalma Galfi. The Russian dominated the first set, which she won without losing a single match.

Alexandrova leads 3-2 in personal meetings with Sobolenko. The Russian won their previous encounter at the Libema Open 2022 in straight sets.
