The match lasted 1h09. Kasatkina landed an ace and double faulted, while Stearns didn’t hit a single pass but double faulted three times. The Russian woman had a slightly higher first-serve percentage than the American woman (76% versus 70%). The Russian converted 6 out of 14 break points, while the American managed to convert 1 out of 1.
In the next round of the tournament, Kasatkina will face the winner of the duel between Varvara Gracheva (lucky loser, France) and Caroline Wozniacki (wild card, Denmark).
