Swiatek meanwhile blasted her service game home, to lead 3-1, with Kovininc holding her serve.
Begu does not allow herself to be put off by the partisanship around her, some fine returning taking her to break- and match-point, only for Jeanjean to revive herself. It goes to deuce, to loud roars. Even louder roars when Begu goes long to offer up a game point. Then Jeanjean claims it first time out. Begu, after a sit down, will have to hold her nerve on serve. It’s 5-4 now.
