Ninth seed of the pre-tournament stage and 116th player on the WTA circuit, the British Columbian slammed the seven aces of the clash and had six breaks in nine occasions. She took advantage of her rival’s troubles on serve, Zavatska pocketing 39% of the points contested when she had the first balls in hand. In game winners, Marino had the upper hand 25-2.
